Answer
No-wake markers protect docks, paddle zones, and grass beds throughout Isle of Wight and Assawoman—enforcement is active in summer. Rental operators brief first-time captains, but experienced boaters still get fined for wake near kayaks. Slow passes save props and people near crowded West Ocean City marinas.
