Drinking And Boating – What Is The Legal Limit For Alcohol Consumption When Operating a Boat In New York State?

In New York, boaters will be considered to be ‘under the influence’ or ‘legally intoxicated’ if they have a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of 0.08% or higher. Or, if the boater is under the age of 21 and has a BAC level between 0.02% – 0.07%.

Although it isn’t illegal to drink alcohol while boating, it’s important to drink responsibly to stay safe on the water! Learn more about the risks of drinking and boating by taking the BOATsmart! New York Boating Safety Course!
