Well you can always refuse, however your refusal is not going to be sufficient in preventing a boarding. The US Coast Guard is given a broad scope of authority by the United States government under 14 USC 89. This gives the US Coast Guard the authority to board vessels on the high sea's and waters the US has jurisdiction on. The Coast Guard can always board vessels for safety inspections or ones that may be required due to National Security concerns. After the boarding team is on your vessel, then the type of boarding that takes place is dependent on the situation or if there is a warrant, reasonable suspicion or probable cause to further escalate the boarding.
