Boating accident reports are must be filed within: 10 days if there is a complete loss of the vessel or damage to the vessel and property exceeding $2000. Many states have set a limit less the $2000 and the person can contact the local state boating authority to determine the amount.

In addition for formality, a written accident report is required to be filed when the following situation occur:

· Life is lost due to the accident. Must be filed 48 hour of the occurrence or if a person dies within one day.
