SUPs have Boating Rules Too!

Stand-up paddleboards, or SUPs, are popular on Keoka. Did you know that they are also subject to Maine boating regulations? Paddleboards must have:

• A life jacket for each person on board

• A sound-producing device such as a whistle

• Navigation lights when used between sunset and sunrise – this may be a flashlight or a headlamp with a white light

• Visual distress signals when used on federally controlled waters

Paddleboard users must comply with recreational boating laws and rules. For a full description of Maine's boating regulations click here.
