A boat should have specific navigation lights to ensure visibility and safety on the water. Typically, it requires a white stern light, red and green sidelights (port and starboard), and an all-around white light for vessels at anchor. Additional lights may be necessary for larger vessels or specific conditions, such as fishing or towing lights. Always consult local regulations for specific requirements.
