USBoatLaw.com  - BUI  - Boating Under the Influence

USE COMMON SENSE - Drinking and Boating Kills and Causes Serious Injury - just like or worse then autos.

Boating Under the Influence (From The USCoastGuard)

  • A boat operator is likely to become impaired more quickly than a driver, drink for drink

  • The penalties for BUI can include large fines, revocation of operator privileges and serious jail terms.

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

Every boater needs to understand the risks of boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs (BUI). 



It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in every state. For some reason, many people think that drinking and boating are permitted. WRONG. So why do people pack coolers and go cruising in their boat? Do you do that in your car? NO
The Coast Guard also enforces a federal law that prohibits BUI. This law pertains to ALL boats (from canoes and rowboats to the largest ships) — and includes foreign vessels that operate in U.S. waters, as well as U.S. vessels on the high seas.
