Boaters Unleashed

Starting July 1, boaters in Southshore—and across Florida—will feel a noticeable shift out on the water. Thanks to the newly signed Boater Freedom Act, law enforcement can no longer randomly stop and inspect recreational vessels without probable cause. That’s right—no more surprise checks for safety equipment or sanitation compliance just because you're cruising along.
