Marine Events

Permits for regattas, races, motorboat exhibitions, or water-skiing exhibitions to be held on Maine state waters must be obtained by submitting an application to Commissioner of the MDIFW at least 15 days prior to the event. The application must include a copy of a letter of intent which was sent at least 60 days prior to the event to the municipality where the event is to be held. If the event is being held on federally controlled waters, a permit from the USCG is required also.
