Nearly twenty Boca Bash boaters have been arrested as they appeared in bleary-eyed mugshots after videos showed other unidentified partiers dumping trash in the water.
As of Tuesday morning, 18 people had been taken into custody over the Boca Bash weekend, during which thousands of revelers took to the sea for a wild party where liquor flowed freely and clothes were stripped off.
The revelers face charges related to boating under the influence and drug offenses, with released mugshots showing their haggard, red faces and bleary eyes in the aftermath of the rowdy gathering.
Arrested by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Officers, the partygoers have been booked into the Palm Beach County Jail by Tuesday morning, as reported by Boca News.
Several Boca Bash revelers previously sparked fury after they were caught on camera pouring their cans and bottles into the water and openly celebrating the littering as they left the infamous bash on Sunday.

'It just really infuriates you to see someone trash the ocean like that,' said Rodrigo Samsing, a local who often takes his boat out in those waters.
'You know, nobody else on the boat tried to stop them. Everybody was just celebrating,' he told WSVN.
What most angered Samsing is there was no immediate emergency that would've caused the partiers to need to dump the trash.
'I mean they already had the trash sitting in the garbage can, they could have just put a bag, grabbed a bag, filled it up and thrown it away. Instead, they just dump it carelessly into the ocean. It's just really sad to see,' he said.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection cites federal law in saying that baoters cannot dispose of any garbage 'from a boat while in lakes, rivers, bays, sounds, and offshore within three miles of the ocean.'
