At night which direction should red lights shine on a vessel?
If you are on the boat facing forward, The red light should be on the left (port) side, shining out forward and to the left. It should NOT be visible from directly behind or from the right side of the boat. Both red and green lights should ONLY be visible from directly in front of the boat.
What do red and green lights on a boat mean?
The red and green lights on a boat are side lights and assist in determining the direction the boat is facing. Red lights are on the port, or left side, while green lights are on the starboard, or right side. If you see only one side light, you are looking at that side of the boat. If you see both lights at the same time, that means that the boat is either headed towards you or away from you. If the red light is to the right, the boat is coming towards you (Red-Right-Returning). If the green light is to the right, the boat is going away from you.

What does a red and green light indacate when seen together at night on a boat?
Spotting a red and a green light on a boat at night is an indication that the boat has its bow pointed in your direction. If the boat is under way, it's coming at you.The red light is on the port or left side, the green on the starboard or right. These lights cannot be seen from dead astern, and only one color can be seen from beside (abeam) of the vessel.
What does red green and white lights on a boat mean at night?
At night, boats are supposed to display navigational lights; these are red, green, and white. The lights are screened/shielded so that each light is only visible from a certain range of directions.If you are on a boat and can see the red, green, and white navigational lights from another boat all at the same time, you should watch out, because that means that it is moving directly toward you and there is the possibility of a collision.
