Boating Under the Influence (BUI) Charges in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, drunk driving laws also apply to boating. Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is actually a serious criminal offense that carries many of the same penalties as an OUI or DUI conviction. Perhaps you were out boating with some friends or were out water skiing or jet skiing. You may have enjoyed a drink or two. You may have felt as though you were completely in control of the vehicle, and yet you may now be in a situation where you are facing criminal BUI charges because you were involved in an accident or were stopped by a law enforcement official out on the water.
A Worcester, Massachusetts BUI conviction will have similar consequences that a drunk driving conviction may have, including the impoundment of your boat, fines, imprisonment, and more.

Involving a Worcester BUI Lawyer is an important step if you or someone you know has been accused of Boating Under the Influence. You have the right to legal counsel, and this may make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
About BUI in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, a boat operator may face BUI charges for operating a watercraft while with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater. Just as with DUI cases, the boat operator may face having to take a breath test or blood test after his or her arrest.
Although you may have been charged with BUI and may have taken a Breathalyzer test that showed a result of .08% or greater, an experienced attorney may still be able to do much to help you avoid a conviction and serious penalties. At The Massachusetts DUI Defense Group, our experience extends beyond drunk driving cases and includes those involving Boating Under the Influence.
