BUI

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) Lawyer

You could be out on the water boating, riding a jet ski or even water skiing with friends and having a few drinks. You feel like you have the boat under control, but because of an accident or some other reason, you are arrested for BUI—boating under the influence or for having a blood alcohol level of .08% or above. Section 655 of the California Harbors and Navigation Code.

You need a BUI defense lawyer. Boating under the influence or drunk boating does not simply affect your right to drive a boat. It will also create a criminal record in the same ways that a DUI charge does; this includes possible jail time, significant fines and penalties, and alcohol programs. Contact the experienced BUI defense attorneys at Takakjian, Sowers & Sitkoff LLP.

In California, a boating under the influence (BUI) conviction will appear just like a DUI on your DMV driver record. You can lose your right to drive a car, boat, or any other vehicle if convicted of boating under the influence.

• You need to treat a BUI arrest with the same level of concern as a DUI arrest. Heavy fines, jail time, increased insurance rates, and a criminal record are at stake.
• You may not have performed well on the Field Sobriety Tests - FST's simply because you were out in the sun, your eyes are red and you've been on the bouncy water all day!
• You need a BUI defense attorney who can explain the law, protect your rights, guide you through the system, and limit the damages of your arrest.
• Some boating under the influence cases even qualify for misdemeanor diversion and no criminal record!
