  Boating Safety

Alcohol is allowed on the boat.

Minnesota law prohibits operating or being in actual physical control of a motorboat while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. A person can be convicted of boating while intoxicated (BWI) (also called “boating under the influence”) for operating a motorboat while:

• impaired by alcohol or drugs to an extent that the person does not “possess that clearness of intellect and that control … that the [person] otherwise would have,” or
• having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or greater.

In other words, you can get a BWI for operating a boat with an excessive blood alcohol concentration or while drunk or high on drugs.

Responsible use of alcoholic beverages is required. If it’s illegal off the water, it’s illegal on the water.
