They don't have a Marine Patrol. The state police mostly patrol on Champlain and the few towns that have police boats rarely use them for more than SAR.
It's been 30 years since I lived there but I haven't heard anything to indicate they've changed that much. Without water cops I expect BUI is fairly common.
A larger portion of VT boating is small water fishing by people who are mainly fishing not boating. There's a geek vest on board for every one just in case F&G catches you at the ramp but few adults wear them.
