ITD...
How do you know for a fact that the boat(s) in question are illegal? That is the crux of the problem, because the answer is... you don't know. You just assume they are illegal because you can hear them.
It is EXTREMELY difficult to prosecute a noise violation...
I have a real problem with your statement that "People doing illegal things should not be cut any slack". The world isn't perfect, prosecuting every little infraction would be a monumental waste of time and resources. A little more tolerance and perhaps education would be a better answer than tying up our emergency responders for relatively trivial infractions.
