    Call 311 or 212-NEW-YORK for the current info as search engines might provide old result and ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law.

    Please note if there are protected sea life (ie. whale), you will have to go slower and also keep a certain distance.

    "White buoys or signs with red or orange markings will indicate posted speed limits and no wake zones."

    "In New York State, vessel speed is generally limited to 5 mph when within 100 feet of the shore, a dock, pier, raft, float, or anchored boat."
