AIRBOATER’S CODE OF ETHICS
- I will respect the rights of all users of the recreational waterways of the State of Florida, on public waters and on adjacent private property.
- I will be considerate and courteous at public vessel launch ramps and docks. In an effort not to delay others, I will launch and retrieve my vessel promptly.
- I will always operate at a safe speed in posted “No Wake” zones.
- When approaching the shoreline, I will be especially aware of swimmers and other water vessels near the shoreline.
- I realize that my vessel’s equipment, ability, weather conditions, and especially other vessel traffic should determine my vessel speed.
- In case of an emergency, I will volunteer assistance.
- I am aware that my vessel creates air propeller wash and will use idle speed near the shoreline and in close proximity to boat launch ramps.
- I will ensure that all passengers in my vessel are equipped with safety equipment, including life vests, ear protection, eye protection, and required safety equipment.
- I will avoid unnecessary disturbance of wildlife and will not enter posted “No Trespass” areas.
- I will pay close attention to the engine sound levels that my vessel may create and be aware of how others on vessels and on the shoreline will react to it.
- I will not litter and will bring back all trash. I will be careful in handling my fuel.
- I will not interfere with or harass others. I realize that people will judge all airboaters by my individual actions.
