I live in Florida, and yes it's a felony.
I also read about this at http://www.yachting4u.com

: There's some fellow on the net each morning
: urging people to go down there in their
: dinks, tie up, pay $5 (to whom it is not
: entirely clear) and go shopping at Publix or
: K-Mart.
:
: Some other fellow claims that, if you do so,
: you may be charged with trespassing on a
: construction site, which is a felony in
: Florida, apparently.

: I went down to have a look, and there
: appears to be a construction site with
: cranes where the tie-up should be.
:
: This is very difficult to understand.
:
: Here are my thoughts:
:
: (1) If the owner of the dink tie-up is
: willing to allow dinks to come at $5 a pop,
: why doesn't he put up a small sign with
: instructions? I would happily pay $5 for
: that service, even with the proviso that it
: was only for Publix and K-Mart.
:
: (2) The fellow threatening felonious
: trespassing appears to be a small business
: owner who wants to run an exclusive water
: taxi to Publix. I would happily pay $5 for
: his service, also, though exclusive access
: seems rather un-American and
: anti-competitive.
