Boating While Intoxicated
No one may operate a vessel on the waters of NYS while impaired
or intoxicated either through the consumption of alcohol
or drugs. An operator with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher
is considered legally intoxicated. New York law prescribes heavy
fines, imprisonment, and the suspension of operator privileges
for violators. In New York, if you
are stopped for the suspicion of
impaired operation and refuse to
voluntarily submit to a breath test,
your privilege to operate may be
immediately suspended, pending
a hearing. Additional penalties apply
to those who operate while intoxicated and have passengers
aboard that are 15 years old or younger.
Zero Tolerance
New York, in an effort to send a clear message to our young
citizens that underage drinking will not be tolerated, has enacted
legislation, for those under 21 years of age, providing for the suspension
or revocation of operating privileges if caught
drinking while operating a vessel.
It is important to realize that particularly on the
water, even small amounts of alcohol may greatly
impair one's ability to function in three critical areas:
balance, coordination, and judgment. Compound
this with such environmental stressors such as
glare, heat, vibration, and engine noise, one
can become quickly fatigued thus slowing your reaction time.
