There are so many questions right now that everyone has when it comes to current Covid19 regulations.

This is the exact information as stated on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website:

“Recreational Vessel Update

Executive Order 20-09 has been enacted to reflect direction from Governor DeSantis, the Florida Department of Health and the CDC. Effective immediately, all recreational boats must be at least 50 feet apart. Each recreational vessel must not have more than 10 people on board.

Currently, many of the boat ramps throughout the state remain open to the public. The FWC's Florida Public Boat Ramp Finder is updated every 24-hours to include information regarding boat ramp open/closed status. Before leaving on a trip, it's important to check with local, county, and statewide Emergency Orders and with the managing entity of the boat ramp if it's not run by the FWC."

As the information above may change at any time - FWC is keeping their site updated:
