Boating Laws and Regulations

Safe boating regulations vary if you are in state regulated waters (within 3 miles from the coast) or federal regulated waters (between 3 and 12 miles from the coast). Be sure you are familiar with and conform with the appropriate regulations.  

Rules and regulations are defined at a state level. So even if you live out-of-state, you will be expected to comply with Florida laws and regulations. Below are two links to these laws.
