Attention: Boaters need to obtain a permit before entering the Park area! Please remind that all the vessels accessing the marine Park area without a previously requested permit commit a violation of the existing rules; so while at sea please be sure to provide you with a regular permit that has to be shown  to the personnel in charge in case of control: a missing or not issued permit, when/if requested, will involve in a 40% increase of the regular daily amount.
