Personal Watercraft Insurance – Visual Distress Signal
Tuesday, Sep. 12th 2023 11:13 AM

NOTE: Coastal waters means the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and all bays, sounds, harbors, rivers, inlets, etc., where any entrance is over 2 miles wide to the first point where the distance between shorelines narrows to 2 miles.
