What do I do if my boat is involved in a boating accident?

Take care of all necessary immediate needs on your boat and the other boat. Call the Local Harbormaster/ USC.G. by VHF Radio Channel Number 16 or the Police/ Fire/ EMS phone 911.

All boating accidents without injuries that damages exceed $500 must be reported through the MA Environmental Police. Any boating accident that involves any injury that requires medical help must also be reported to the MA Environmental Police. Their number is 800-632-8075. Accident forms must be filled out and sent to the MA Environmental Police. Most local Harbormasters' have the proper forms and will be the first investigating agency in a boating accident.
