DHS: Florida boaters risk fines, prison by going to Cuba

MIAMI — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is warning organizers planning to launch a flotilla next week from South Florida to waters near Cuba that they could risk breaking the law.

Violators risk facing fines of $25,000 a day and 10 years in prison, the advisory said. “It is illegal for boaters to depart with the intent to travel to Cuba for any purpose without a permit,” the advisory said.
