ALL RIVER USERS must keep to the RIGHT side of the river and overtaking boats shall keep clear.

Power boats shall give way to those not under power and keep clear of smaller craft and swimmers – in the case of the latter two, coming off the plain to pass where reasonable and safe to do so.

Compliance with all other current legislation pertaining to the use of power boats on inland water is mandatory.

Commercial boats:

Krab governs over three commercial permits on the Klein River.

Commercial operators serve as a node for critical feedback , reporting and support to keeping the river clean and safe for all river users.

Commercial boats provide a fun and cost-effective way for all visitors to Stanford to enjoy the beauty of the Klein River equally.

These three commercial boats play a critical role in the micro-economy of Stanford's tourism landscape.
