Reporting an Incident

By law, the operator or owner of a boat involved in an incident must file a written report with the OSMB:

• Within 48 hours of the incident if a person dies, disappears, or is injured and receives medical treatment or...
• Within 10 days when damage to the boat and other property totals $2,000 or more or upon a complete loss of any boat (motorized or non-motorized).

Passengers are responsible for reporting the incident if the operator is physically incapable of doing so.
