The use of alcohol is involved in about a third of all recreational boating fatalities.

 

 

Boating Under the Influence (BUI)

 
g

Just as much as it against the law to operate a vehicle while intoxicated, it is also illegal to operate a vessel under such conditions. Each state has its own set of laws concerning boating under the influence, including their Legal BAC Limit.

Have you or someone you know been charged with boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs? If so, contact one of our experienced BUI lawyers in your area today!

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) statistics (2002):

  • 222 BUI fatalities occurred
  • 597 seperate accidents occured due to BUI
  • Alcohol is involved in over 1/3 of all boating fatalities
  • Over 500 people were injured

Some states, including Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Texas, have penalties that include imprisonment, fines, and loss of boating privileges for violating the boating under the influence laws.

If you operate a vessel on the waterways of most states, you are automatically considered to have given consent to be tested for alcohol and/or any mind-altering substances. Refusal to submit to such tests will generally result in the loss of boating privileges in addition to any other consequences required by law, which may include enrollment in a Boating Safety Course.
