I am a boater as well as RVer. By the letter of the law the only shore stations using marine VHF/SSB will be organizations such as USCG, bridge tenders etc. It is not unusual for other shore stations to us the marine bands such as commercial operators, tourboat companies & such. Privately many boat owners use a handheld VHF to keep in touch with 'mothership' during shore excursions.

As long as the frequency is not abused i.e. extensive idle chatter or children playing it is not likely anyone in officialdom will complain.
