Restrictions for boaters during Navy Week

Posted: Updated:

The U.S. Coast Guard is reminding boaters to stay safe as naval vessels visit the area.

Certain naval vessel protection zones will be in place. This means boaters are restricted from going within 100 yards of those ships.

If a boat ends up within 500 yards of Navy ships, it needs to travel as slowly as possible.

Violating the restriction is a felony punishable by up to six years in prison and up to $250,000 dollars in fines.
