Terrin until the all clear is given I will follow best practices. Many aren't aware that the vaccine does not prevent the spread or transmission of the virus...even when fully vaccinated you can still get the virus and give it to others. What the vaccine has been proven to do ifs prevent the serious form of the symptoms that either put you in hospital or kill you. So it reduces the effects to nothing more as a flu at the worst...and more often nothing so you aren't even aware you are infected at the time. Once the 6ft protocol is lifted...to me that signals all clear. Or if I'm watching a hockey game in Vancouver with a full house..its over.

that’s just not correct. It does reduce transmission but won’t see that headlining the 6pm news
Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines may reduce coronavirus transmission
The mRNA vaccines are about 90 percent effective at blocking coronavirus infection, which could lead to reduced transmission, real-world data suggest.

Can a covid-vaccinated person still spread the coronavirus?
Preliminary evidence suggests that two vaccines, one from Moderna Inc. and another from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, are highly protective against the spread of the virus in addition to symptoms

He said prevent, youre saying reduce. Technically youre both right, but youre arguing about something that was never said in the first place. Anybody who pays attention knows the vaccines may reduce (but not prevent) the spread. There are more than 2 vaccines, with even more to come in the future.
This is partly why the virus is still spreading a year later. There is so much information and misinformation out there and even our so-called leaders cant seem to get their story straight on what science to believe.

As a guide who had no season last year on the central coast (and not looking like one this season either) I suggest that wearing a mask, sanitizing and paying attention to the condition of your guests prior to boarding and knowing where they are coming from is not a high price to pay to stay in business. Don’t need guiding to go the way of cruise industry or Whistler over lack of common sense.

Do your research...

Masks are minimally effective at best, if someone is sick with covid on your charter it's not likely to make much difference whether they're wearing a mask or not unless it's a proper n95 mask. Everyone is so hung up on masks but there's plenty of evidence after a year of this that they make little to no difference (except for proper medical grade respirators!).
I think your best safety measure is screening for sick people (or people that have had contact with sick people)before the charter, but your really dependent on their honesty.

More junk science. Actual studies of actual covid infection show they are mostly ineffective, these are mannequins and a smoke machine.
One thing I think we can agree on is physical distancing is the most effective prevention measure and I think having everyone maskless serves as a great reminder that the only barrier to infection is space.
Here's a study by the cdc showing increased rates of infection in a controlled study of people using cloth masks.

Can we stop with the antimask crap. Look around the world, look at which countries are almost back to normal and which countries covid is still running rampant. Lockdowns and masks work, period.
Here is a quote, from the link you posted, so I would hope you dont dismiss this as "junk science" too.

This thread is now wondering into the discussions that are already occurring in the Covid thread. We allowed this thread to proceed as it was intended specifically for the guide community and planning for the start of the season. If there is more to discuss on the original topic, fine, but if not we will close this one as we are not going to have the same discussions here as have already been discussed elsewhere.
