Boating Under the Influence
Operating a 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.
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.
Impaired operation may result in severe personal injury or
death.
Federal and state laws prohibit operating a boat under the
influence of alcohol and other drugs.
If the operator’s blood alcohol content is above the legal limit,
violators are subject to fines and may go to jail. Violators may
also lose automobile driving privileges.

boating law enforcement agency or local authority, the USCG, or their country’s boating
law enforcement agency when their boat is involved in certain boating accidents. A
boating accident must be reported if there is a loss or probable loss of life or a personal
