BUI (Boating Under The Influence)
Just as it is a criminal offense to operate a car, truck, bus or motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, it is also illegal to operate a boat or watercraft while under the influence. BUI (boating under the influence) is a serious criminal offense which typically results in similar penalties as for DUI (driving under the influence) offenses. As with DUI, breath or blood tests may be administered to determine a boater's blood alcohol concentration - and these results will play crucial role in whether the boater faces BUI charges as well as the severity of these charges.
