Lighting requirements vary depending on whether you're talking about a sailboat or powerboat, International Rules or Inland Rules, the length of the vessel, and whether or not the vessel is at anchor. However, if at night you see a single white light only (no red or green lights), you're most likely looking at a boat at anchor.
