A single white light on a boat typically indicates that it is either anchored or is a vessel that is not underway. In maritime navigation, this light serves as a signal to other vessels, helping to prevent collisions. It's important for boaters to recognize these signals to ensure safe navigation in shared waters.

What does a single white light on a boat tell you on a boat at night?

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.
