The following conditions determine if you are boating under the influence: • If your blood alcohol concentration is 0.10% or greater by weight of alcohol as determined by a breath, blood or urine test. • If your blood alcohol concentration is greater than 0.07% but less than 0.10% by weight of alcohol as determined by a breath, blood or urine test a law enforcement officer can consider that fact along with other evidence in determining if you are under the influence. Michigan law establishes the following penalties: • People arrested for boating under the influence are guilty of a misdemeanor. Upon a third conviction within 10 years, a person will be guilty of a felony. • If a person boating under the influence causes great bodily injury or death of another person, they will also be guilty of a felony. • By operating a vessel on Michigan waters, you have consented to be tested for alcohol or drugs if arrested by a law enforcement official.
