If you near the San Diego Bay, you’re probably familiar with the high boat traffic in the area.

California maritime laws<\/strong> prohibit the operation of a vessel that is in any way reckless or negligent and also require the boat operator to navigate at speed appropriate to other traffic, the weather, visibility, and other hazards.<\/p>\n

The state also enforces boating under the influence (BUI) violations<\/strong>, just as it does with drivers who choose to drive under the influence (DUI). You can be arrested for operating a boat while your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08 percent or higher.<\/p>\n

California also requires boat operators to pass a state-approved boater safety education exam and qualify for a California Boater Card. As of January 1st, 2021, every boater 40 years old or younger must take the exam and earn a card before operating a boat. The age requirement moves to 35 years of age by January 1st of 2022 and continues to rise by five years each year on January 1st. By 2025, boaters of all ages must take the exam and earn their California Boater Card<\/strong> certified by the state to operate a boat.<\/p>\n
