Naples Marine Officers enforcing 30 MPH limit

I have been told that the Naples police are now enforcing the speed zone laws to the letter of the law. You may go 30 mph in the channel but beware; once you go out of the channel you are to decrease to idle/slow speed. If you are leaving your canal do not kick up to plane until you reach the marked channel or you may get a ticket. I know of several instances where people have been stopped and word is, warnings are not going to be issued but tickets will be given.
Also I have noticed an increase in policing in the waterways. Even boats without markings but with armed officers and lights on the top are stopping boats for a variety of reasons. There are the Naples Police, the Sheriff Dept, Fish and Wildlife, Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary and others out there, so keep all your safety gear handy. Lifejackets, a throw device, whistle or horn, fire extinguisher and current registration are the items they will request to see. Children age 5 and under must be wearing a life vest. If you are fishing, everyone in the boat better have a fishing license. If they ask for your driver’s license be prepared for a ticket.
