Florida has been described as a boater's heaven. The expansive coastline, the tropical climate, the fantastic diving and fishing have lead Florida to be one of the most populist boating areas in the world.

Unfortunately, as a result of the high traffic, Florida is also one of the most dangerous boating areas in the world. Accidents on the water occur in Florida at an alarming rate.
