Everglades National Park
Boating Safety & Regulations

Return to >> Plan Your Visit >> Things To Do >> Outdoor Activities >> Boating >> Current Page

Carry all United States Coast Guard required items, including personal flotation devices, on board your boat. It is easy to become confused or lost while traveling through mangroves. Carry a nautical chart and compass. Sudden storms can appear at any time. Check the weather and tides before leaving shore. Leave a float plan with family or friends. Be prepared for mosquitoes during the summer months. Make sure your tales of the Everglades are of beautiful vistas and tight lines-- not of being rescued!
