The State of Florida is an idyllic location for year-round boating due to the warm weather and Florida sunshine. However, Florida has the highest number of boat-related accidents. Although it is unknown exactly how many boating accidents are alcohol-related, it is understandable that the crime of Boating Under the Influence is treated seriously in Florida.

The crime of boating under the influence is governed by Florida Statute § 327.35, which provides that a person is guilty of the offense of boating under the influence if they are operating a vessel in the state and is under the influence of alcoholic beverages or certain substances when affected to the extent the person’s normal faculties are impaired.

The second method of proving boating under the influence is establishing an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, which is defined under the BUI statute as a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, or a breath-alcohol level of 0.08 grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.    Read more...
