Captain Frank Lecardo, the Owner and an instructor at the Naples School of Boating, is back with us!

As the snowbird season started ramping up in South Florida, we were again reminded how different boating in other parts of the country is—many boaters don’t know the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) rules of the road.

New retirees arrive in Florida after years of boating on smaller lakes in the Midwest or bodies of water without much traffic. They’re excited to boat Florida’s waters but have a bit of a rude awakening.

We not only recorded this podcast episode, but we created USCG Rules of the Road— Guide to Navigating Our Waterways.

This guide contains a text version of the information contained in this podcast, as well as three graphic resources:

• Rules of the Road—Navigation Markers
• Rules of the Road—Right of Way
• Rules of the Road—Boating at Night
