What’s the big deal?

As a professional, full-time Captain, I see if about every single day. I have seen it on charters that I run, and I have seen it while cruising (saw six boats on the way from Fort Lauderdale to Chub Cay in the Bahamas with people cruising naked.

I think the thing to remember is that your boat is your property, and in Florida, when you are on your own property, as long as you are not being lewd, there is no law against it…FL Supreme Court has ruled as such. But on the water, where we all go to relax, why not? No clothes means less laundry to run, less water to waste, fewer chemicals released into the ocean, etc. etc. My question really is why don’t more admit to doing it?

As far as the physical condition of those doing so, who are we to comment on such things? The people that do it probably don’t care what you think because they are not doing it for your enjoyment…they are doing it for theirs. I say, more power to them
