A boat operating at night is required to display specific navigation lights to ensure visibility and safety. These lights typically include a white stern light, red and green sidelights, and in some cases, an all-around white light for anchored vessels. Additionally, operators must maintain a proper lookout and navigate at a safe speed to respond to any hazards. Compliance with local regulations and maritime laws is also essential.
A 14-foot boat operating under oars at night is required to display a white light visible from all directions. This can be a lantern or a flashlight that is kept on while the boat is in operation.
