Boating Safety

Boating Under the Influence

Boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be deadly.
Alcohol and/or drug use is the leading contributing factor to all
recreational boating fatalities. Alcohol and drugs can increase your
reaction time and impair your judgment. Combined with the sun,
wind, waves, and noise of other watercraft, the effects of drugs and
alcohol can be increased and can significantly increase your
reaction time. As the owner/operator, you are responsible for the
alcohol/drug use and onboard behavior of your passengers.
Additionally, civil lawsuits in cases of property damage or
injury/death to others can result in significantly higher verdicts
when alcohol or drugs are allowed.

Operating boat or boating under the

influence of alcohol and/or drugs can cause serious
injury or death.

Alcohol and drugs slow your reaction time and impair
your judgment.

Do not operate a boat or allow passengers to boat while
under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Obstructed visibility can cause death or

serious injury. The operator must maintain clear
visibility at all times while operating the boat.

Arrange passengers and equipment appropriately or
designate a passenger to assist when visibility is
limited.
