Sure, they are $187 each or $115 during happy hour (if the CO is happy).
Ask me how I know:scared0018: Geez, 2 lousy beer for a day or fishing. |

What about house boating??
If you aren't the driver, I know that people do drink on the boat while it is moving. So is this a special circumstance? I am just curious, as I will be house boating later this year and a dry boat would really suck. jacobin |
Take water or a diet pop

Boat must have facilities and sleeping area. That is why it is allowed on houseboat.

boooo
i guess ill have a secret compartment....he he....:bad_boys_20:

Its still drinking and driving even though your not in your car. There needs to be way more enforcement out on the water for this type of stuff.

No it's not allowed!
Yes it sucks that you can't even have one or two brew while enjoying the day but the problem is that many people can't stop and get carried away plus isnt water and boating dangerous enough? You can have booze on a boat that has sleeping quarters and an anchor but that is on the speculation that you are going to anchor and sleep it off. |
some things dont mix. too many people die every year crossing alcohol and water. im not against drinking, but do it safely.....a boat isnt a safe place.

Sure you can have a beer on your 12 ft alluminum boat. Just make sure your parked in your garage at home getting ready for the trip tomorrow. No drinking allowed on a boat.

I like Moosehead, not such a fan of MGD though. The Saskatchewan in me prefers Pil. :o |
You need sleeping quarters, a head, and cooking facilities. Anyone can drink onboard while underway, you don't need to be at anchor, the captain may not drink while the vessel is underway.

Canadian Red Cross shows that in 23% of drownings victims were over the limit, 9% were below legal limit but had been drinking and another 7% were suspected to have been drinking. So, almost 40% of drownings in recreational water-craft had been drinking!!! drinking and boating is no different than drinking and driving, it leads to more risk taking, reaction times are slower and it is just plain stupid, when you are endangering the lives of others as well as your own. |
i would be lying if i said i wouldnt pack a few cold beers on the boat if it was legal to do so....but i wouldnt pack enough to get drunk.
drunken fools ruined that for those of us who just want to have one or two while we enjoy a day on the water oh well.....they taste that much better around the fire with some crispy fried walleye fillets |
also, don't try and enjoy a beer while on shore having a fish fry either....learned that the hard way
|
I've always wondered this as well.
I thought it was a hard-and-fast rule, no alcohol on board at all. I've never had beer on board but I've always wondered why my passengers couldn't enjoy a few cold ones while we're under way? My boat has a head, cuddy cabin to sleep, and a BBQ on board, so I would imagine we're fine. While I would never boat and drink I don't see why everyone else can't have a beer or two? Does anyone know the actual regs? I can't seem to get a consistent answer. |
Just clarify, when people say its the same as drinking and driving, that's not metaphorical, its actually the law. You can be charged with operating a motor vehical over the legal limit and if convicted it will reflect on you drivers record and insurance premiums, not to mention the possibility of getting your drivers license suspended. People generally don't care about there personal safety...the wallet however is a different story..

i think the official law states" grow a set and try not to get caught"
section 2 of the law states"don't get stupid" and section 3 states " if you cant handle your liquer leave it on shore" and final section states "don't get the driver too drunk" |

Normally I don't have booze in the boat except if we are doing a 2 or 3 day adventure up the lake, or take some friends out for an evening cruise. |
