Hillsborough County BUI Defense Law Firm

Florida Boating Under the Influence Lawyers

Boating is a very popular sport in Florida and law enforcement must ensure it is safe for anyone wishing to enjoy it. Boating and drinking do not go hand in hand. In Florida, BUI (boating under the influence) is defined as the operation of a boat or any type of watercraft while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A driver is considered to be intoxicated while operating a boat or watercraft vehicle when their blood alcohol content (BAC) level is 0.08% or higher. Also, if you are under the age of 21, you can be arrested for and charged with BUI if your BAC level is 0.02% or higher.  Boating under the influence is illegal and is a very serious charge in Florida. 

Florida law carries harsh penalties for those caught boating under the influence. A BUI conviction can result in jail time, fines, alcohol or drug treatment programs, community service, probation and possible impoundment of your boat. It can also result in future driving restrictions or the loss of privileges driving your boat. In Florida, BUI penalties will be enforced.
