Waterfront Condos in Norfolk, VA – Boating Regulations for Virginia Condominiums
Waterfront condos at Tanners Landing in Downtown Norfolk are especially well-suited to residents that wish to dock a boat at Tanners Landing’s boat slips. With access to the Lafayette River, these Norfolk boat slips are perfect launching points for any Virginia boating adventure, whether you’re going fishing for striper, sunbathing in the Chesapeake, or sight-seeing in the Norfolk Harbor.
As a boater in Virginia, there are a few recommendations and regulations that should be followed to ensure an enjoyable experience for all boaters, swimmers, and residents of the Hampton Roads waterfront.
All owners of boat slips in Norfolk with boats will be required to have a valid Norfolk Boat Permit, which is updated annually. The fees vary from $10 to $40 depending on age and Norfolk residency.
Boaters that are under the age of 20 will need to take a classroom or online course about boating safety before operating a personal watercraft. Furthermore, effective July 1, 2010, all personal watercraft operators 35 and younger will be required to take the course as well. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has authorized the use of online safety courses for those needing a Virginia Boating Safety Education Certificate.
