I went up to the Marine Police booth at the boat show and asked the same question. There is no open container law on a boat, like there is in a car in AL. The driver just has to be below the legal limit if checked. Last year was a zero tollerance year. More boats being checked than I have ever seen in the past years. I believe this was due to a crack down on underage drinking. They are adding two more patrol boats this year, so I would expect more stops this year. Also I saw several times last year the patrol boats hiding in certain spots waiting for boats to pass, just like the troopers do on the highways.
