Can I get a DUI while operating a boat?

by | Jun 23, 2021

Yes.

Florida has strict laws against operating a boat or other watercraft while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. For adults over 21, the same blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of .08 applies to boat operators as to drivers. Similar testing and citation laws also apply. In addition, any boat operator under 21 with a BAC of .02 or higher is in violation of Florida law.
