Boating

 

  • Play it safe.  Check out today's marine forecast from the National Weather Service before you go.

  • Find a place to launch your boat in Palm Beach County.

  • Need to get away? Launch your boat in Martin County.

  • This introductory boat safety course is designed for recreational boaters who operate PWC and powerboats under 26 feet in length.

  • Alcohol, with its ability to impair performance, creates an even more hazardous situation when added to the marine environment.

  • Close approaches by humans to marine mammals may cause them to lose their natural wariness and become aggressive toward people. They are also vulnerable to injury or death from entanglement in fishing gear or boat strikes.

  • Research on sharks in South Florida waters.

  • Manatees are most common in Lake Worth Lagoon during winter months, when many migrate to the warm water discharge at the Florida Power and Light Riviera Beach Power Plant.
