Boating DWI

Any individual found to have a blood alcohol content level of 0.08% or higher while operating a boat (BUI/BWI) or other water vessel faces the same punishments as a DWI in New Jersey. All boating under the influence (BUI) charges are considered to be DUI charges under New Jersey law. A New Jersey experienced in DWI cases that involve cars is also very effective in the case of boating incidents, as the law considers them the same.

The circumstances of operating a boat or water vessel are unique and subject to different factors than incidents that take place on land Field Sobriety Tests (FST), breath tests, and other investigative evidence are subject to influence from elements such as weather, sudden waves, etc. Because these conditions are so unique, it is often difficult for the state to make an effective legal argument against a suspected boater. Every aspect of the circumstance has to be investigated fully by a New Jersey boating DWI lawyer to ensure that the defendant’s position is accurately represented.
