Petition Concerning Florida Anchoring Rights
Our good friend Wally Moran is circulating a petition concerning anchoring rights in Florida. The petition will be sent to Governor Rick Scott and the Legislative Assembly of Florida. If you are hesitant to sign petitions, you may choose to withhold your name.
Other states, even other countries, are watching what Florida is doing. If these laws pass, they could have an impact on your cruising grounds. Please sign, and share, and protect all of our rights to the water.

Owners of Real Estate have no say as to who uses the water ways or who has rights to anchor along the water ways to rest. There are laws on the books to handle junk boats. There are laws on the books concerning anchoring rights. Cities and States are not to regulate or change laws. Recent ruling Marco Island Factory Bay live with it. They are to enforce the laws on the books not change them to suit local people and city councils members of influence living on the banks of the waterways.
Will not be moving to Florida if this passes Texas is the better choice for boaters
I feel that we have had enough of our freedoms lost.
Opposed to anchoring proposals! Will probably not come to FL by boat after passage. I anchor between marinas,but I won’t know where legal. Will not move to FL or anywhere I’m not wanted by boat.
