I know that motorboats are under the same guidelines as cars when it comes to drinking (I think) in other words DUI, but are sailboats? |

It often shows up in the news about an Amish person getting stopped for DUI in a buggy or on horseback, or an invalid getting picked up in a Rascal or electric wheelchair, or a repeat-offender on his lawnmower (cause that's all he has left). So I think you can be charged with DUI in or on anything. |

It is illegal to operate a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in every state. The Coast Guard also enforces a federal law that prohibits BUI. This law pertains to ALL boats (from canoes and rowboats to the largest ships) — and includes foreign vessels that operate in U.S. waters, as well as U.S. vessels on the high seas. http://www.uscgboating.org/safety/boating_under_the_influence_initiatives.aspx sm |

Not a good idea, but i read that BUI hitting your driving record, at least in California has been challenged. You are not required to have any license to operate a boat, so linking a BUI to driving made no legal sense, you could use any legal ID. Does anyone know how this challenge ended? |

If you don't do anything Stupid, then they usually won't bother you....Screw up though, and it gives them a good excuse to get you.......Also, it helps if you put your favorite beverage in a Water bottle or Camel Back.... Mark M Louisiana (where it is assumed that pretty much any boat has plenty beer on it) |

Almost certainly. Aussie DUI laws are tougher than US laws, and you need an operator's license to drive a powerboat in Oz (just like Canada). |
