Boating

You can enjoy more
outdoor recreational
opportunities than
ever before, thanks to
75 years of the
Wildlife & Sport Fish
Restoration programs

The FWC's Division of Law Enforcement works to provide safe and enjoyable boating for the people of Florida and its visitors through the effective and coordinated management of our waterways. We will strive to work with all stakeholders when developing rules and making statutory recommendations. We will accomplish this by incorporating sound scientific data, reasonable public input and common sense. We will work to formulate the best solutions possible without jeopardizing our natural resources or our freedoms to navigate.


FWC Facts:
Any vessel operating in an "idle-speed, no-wake" zone must operate at the minimum speed that allows it to maintain headway and steerageway.
