There is a marine exclusion zone: https://twitter.com/VisitBocaChica/status/1646938322189557760?t=QoeoD1kh7gtJsYUb6v0dog&s=19 https://twitter.com/VisitBocaChic

  Looks like you can get like half a mile north or south (based off some crude eyeballing) & be out of the easterly-directed exclusion zone. I have no clue how that compares to where people can be on land to watch, how far up rt 4 people are allowed. It seems like it might be a good option. Also the launch should pivot & head out more your-a-way too, which could be cool.

Which is basically just as close as viewing from South Padre Island. You might have a slightly less obstructed or crowded view from a boat versus parking and standing with everyone else on South Padre.

      I'm surprised how greatly this differs from the marine exclusion zone that Boca Chica posted.

  This reads a lot more optional than a NOTAM. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but, i think if you're sufficiently motivated you can still go inside the exclusion zone.

    Boats in the exclusion zone can and have caused launches to scrub. I can't speak as to whether you will face legal consequences, but there may not be a launch to watch if you violate the safety perimeter.
