California Harbors and Navigation Code 655 – Boating Under The Influence
California has strict care for its coast and treats irresponsible boating seriously. This includes having specific Harbors and Navigation Codes that must be adhered to. Harbor patrols meticulously watch for any signs of boat operators displaying boating or waterway violations. They also pay close attention to any dangerous or reckless behavior.

Not to mention the fines and potential jail time that follow such convictions. For a deeper understanding of what this statute covers, let’s review the legal definition of boating under the influence.
