When boating at night and you only see a green light, it typically indicates that you are approaching the starboard side (right side) of another vessel. According to maritime navigation rules, a vessel with a visible green light is likely traveling with its bow facing you, meaning you should keep clear to avoid a collision. It's important to maintain vigilance and be prepared to maneuver, as you may not have a complete view of the other vessel's position or intentions.

When boating at night what does a single white light on a boat?
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.

You are operating a power boat at night you see only a green light on another boat what does this light tell you?
Seeing only a green light on another boat at night indicates that the other vessel is either a sailing vessel under sail or a powerboat that is approaching you from your port side (left side). According to maritime navigation rules, the green light is positioned on the starboard (right) side of the vessel. You should maintain a safe distance and be prepared to maneuver to avoid a collision.
When boating at night what does a red on a vessel tell you?
The head and port side of the vessel is toward youAnswer The red light is the port side light which is on the left side of the boat. So if you can only see the red light, the boat has its left side toward you with its bow to the left of the red light and the stern to the right of the red light.If you can only see the red light, then that boat has the right of way and you have to manoeuvre to avoid it. The default manoeuvre is to steer starboard (right)which will take you behind the other boats direction of travel.(The starboard (right) side light is green.)
