All powered vessels, including motorboats and sailboats under power, are required to have navigation lights. Additionally, sailing vessels under sail at night or in low visibility conditions must also display lights, as do larger vessels like cargo ships and tankers. These lights help ensure visibility and safe navigation to prevent collisions on the water. Smaller boats, such as canoes and kayaks, may also be required to have navigation lights if operating after dark or in poor visibility.
A boat that requires navigation lights typically refers to larger vessels that operate after dark or in low visibility conditions, such as commercial ships and recreational boats. However, smaller boats, such as canoes or kayaks, may not be legally required to have navigation lights if they operate only during daylight hours. In some jurisdictions, non-motorized vessels may also be exempt from lighting requirements. Always check local regulations for specific requirements.
This is too broad of a question. It needs to be specified why type of vessel you are anchoring and where. If you are in the US refer to Aids to Navigation "Rules of the Road."
