When two power-driven pleasure craft are about to cross paths, the vessel on the starboard (right) side has the right of way. The pleasure craft on the port (left) side should take action to avoid a collision by altering its course or speed. The starboard craft should maintain its course and speed to ensure safe passage. It’s essential for both vessels to communicate and navigate safely to prevent accidents.
