In Florida, the law establishes a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and boating. For individuals under 21 years of age, having a measurable breath alcohol level of 0.02 or higher constitutes a violation. This law reflects a commitment to ensuring the safety of all boaters and to discouraging alcohol consumption among young individuals, particularly given that they may lack the experience and judgment of older, more seasoned boaters.

In contrast, the other alcohol levels specified apply to boaters over 21, where a breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 is typically the threshold for legal impairment. The zero-tolerance policy for those under 21 serves to prevent any alcohol-related incidents that could jeopardize safety on the water.
