Florida Airboater's Code of Ethics
- 1. Respect the right of everyone to enjoy Florida’s waterways.
2. Learn and observe all State of Florida boating regulations, navigation rules and vessel safety equipment requirements.
3. Recognize that the noise generated from an airboat propeller and engine exhaust system may annoy others.
4. Equip the airboat with an approved muffling device and operate it in a manner that will reduce engine exhaust sound levels.
5. Operate at a slow speed on or near boat ramps. Move away an adequate distance before powering up, and where possible – no power loading.
6. Use slow speed to reduce noise near residential and public use areas.
7. Be extra cautious to reduce sound levels during nighttime hours.
8. Understand that the public will judge all airboaters by the actions of one.
9. Protect natural resources and do not needlessly disturb wildlife.
