Federal waters in the United States extend 200 nautical miles (approximately 230 miles or 370 kilometers) from the coastline. This area is known as the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), where the federal government has special rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. Beyond the EEZ, the waters are considered international waters, where no single nation has jurisdiction.

What is international water in the Gulf of Mexico?

I believe that state waters in Florida, Texas, and Puerto Rico extend out to 9 miles with the exception of the Atlantic side of Florida where it ends at 3 miles. Federal waters end at 12 nautical miles offshore of the US. HOWEVER, there is a 24 mile US contiguous zone and a 200 mile exclusive economic zone in which some laws still do apply. If you are planning on doing something sketchy, go really far offshore or talk to a lawyer.

How far off the coast of Florida do gambling boats have to go?

Gambling boats in Florida typically must travel at least three nautical miles offshore to operate legally. This distance allows them to enter international waters, where state laws do not apply. However, specific regulations can vary, so operators must comply with local laws and licensing requirements. It's important for passengers to verify the terms and legality of any gambling activities before boarding.
