How can a boat signal their intentions?

A boat can signal its intentions using various methods, including sound signals like horns or whistles, visual signals such as flags or lights, and by displaying specific navigation indicators. For example, a boat may use a series of short blasts to indicate its intention to maneuver or change course. Additionally, the International Code of Signals provides standardized flags that convey specific messages to other vessels. Clear communication is essential for safety and coordination on the water.
