no wake zone

Marina slow area

A no wake zone is an area of water where boats must travel slowly enough to avoid creating a wake—the waves that trail behind a moving vessel.

These zones protect shorelines from erosion, safeguard swimmers and small craft, and prevent damage to docked boats and marinas: Slow down, we're entering a no wake zone.
