Alcohol Limits and Boating – How the WM4 Breathalyser Helps Clubs Stay Compliant

In most parts of Australia, recreational boat skippers must stay below a 0.05% (BrAC); the same limit that applies to drivers. While the Northern Territory doesn’t set a specific limit, operating any vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal nationwide.

Claremont Yacht Club has long demonstrated its commitment to responsible boating practices. For several years, the Club has relied on the Alcolizer Technology Wall Mount 4 (WM4) Breathalyser a trusted, high-performance solution that continues to help members make informed decisions before heading out on the water or driving home.

A Reliable Solution for Everyday Use

Located in the centre of the Club’s bar area, the WM4 breathalyser is easily accessible to members, who can self-assess their breath alcohol concentration before boating or driving. Its ongoing use highlights the Club’s dedication to encouraging a culture of accountability and safety, supporting compliance with marine safety regulations, and reducing the risk of alcohol-related incidents.
