In the event of a boating accident, a Boating Accident Report must typically be filled out. This report documents details such as the location, date, and time of the incident, as well as the parties involved, damages, injuries, and any contributing factors. Depending on the jurisdiction, this report may need to be submitted to local authorities or the Coast Guard. It's essential to ensure that the report is completed accurately and promptly to comply with legal requirements.

Boating accidents that involve property damage typically require the operator to make both a verbal and written report if the damage exceeds a certain monetary threshold, which varies by state or jurisdiction. This often includes incidents such as collisions with other vessels, fixed objects, or groundings that result in significant damage to boats or other property. Additionally, if the accident involves injuries or fatalities, reporting is also mandated. Operators are usually required to report these incidents to local authorities or the Coast Guard, depending on the situation and location.
