Who can be pulled over for a Random Breath Test on the water?
The skipper of a boat which is underway may be subject to a Random Breath Test (RBT). This applies to the person operating the boat and that means anyone steering or exercising control over the course or direction of a boat; in other words the skipper or designated driver. This includes the observer in a boat which is towing people as well as anyone being towed. If your boat is moored, berthed or at anchor you won’t be subject to an RBT, but the best advice is to remain under the legal limit, in case you need to move the boat. So, if you are the skipper … you are responsible.
