What is against the law in Louisiana for boaters?

In Louisiana, boaters are prohibited from operating a vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which involves having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. Additionally, it is illegal to exceed the maximum speed limits on certain waterways, as well as to engage in reckless or negligent operation, such as weaving between vessels or creating excessive wake near other boats or shorelines. Boaters must also adhere to safety equipment regulations, including having life jackets for all passengers.
