Wake
As a yacht owner/operator, you are responsible for the
wake your yacht creates. Regulations may vary from state
to state. Contact your local and state boating authorities
for specific information, as you may be responsible for
any damage or injury your wake causes. Always be alert
for NO WAKE zones and be courteous of others while
boating. Excessive and unexpected wakes can cause
dangerous and even life-threatening situations.
Noise
As a yacht owner/operator, you are responsible for the
noise your yacht creates. Many state and local boating
authorities enforce noise limits that may restrict engine
noise, radio volume or even loud talking. Regulations
may vary from state to state. Contact your local and state
boating authorities for specific information.
Speed
As a yacht owner/operator, you are responsible for
maintaining your yacht under control at a safe speed.
Many state and local boating authorities enforce speed
limits. Regulations may vary from state to state. Contact
your local and state boating authorities for specific
information.
Septic Waste
It is illegal to discharge septic waste directly overboard on
U.S. inland and coastal waters. Never discharge toilets
or holding tanks close to the shore or in any prohibited
zone. Always use harbor or marina pump-out facilities to
empty the holding tank before leaving the harbor. If the
yacht has an overboard discharge installed, check with a
local U.S. Coast Guard office to make sure the overboard
discharge complies with federal regulations.
Pollution Regulations
The discharge of any type of debris or waste into the
water, including, but not limited to, food, trash, garbage,
oil, fuel, liquids and human waste, is highly restricted and
sometimes illegal. Authorities highly recommend that you
never discharge anything into the water.
Pollution is a serious matter, and law enforcement
authorities highly enforce these regulations. As a yacht
owner/operator, you are responsible for your actions
affecting the environment. Therefore, you must fully
understand and be aware of the following pollution
regulations. Contact the USCG, state and local
authorities for additional information.
MARPOL TREATY
The USCG enforces the International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from ships, commonly referred to
as the MARPOL Treaty (MARine POLlution). This treaty
prohibits the overboard dumping of all ship-generated
plastics, chemicals, garbage and oil. Contact the USCG
for further information.
REFUSE ACT OF 1899
The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing, discharging
or depositing refuse matter of any kind (including food,
trash, garbage, oil and other liquid pollutants) into U.S.
waterways.
