Boating Under the Influence (BUI) Laws

Boating under the influence (BUI) is illegal and deadly. In Florida, operating with a BAC of 0.08% or higher is illegal.

Environmental stressors - sun, wind, waves, vibration, noise - amplify alcohol's effects. A boater at 0.05% BAC may be as impaired as a driver at 0.10%.
