What type of boat is requires navigation lights?

All powered vessels, including motorboats and sailboats under power, are required to have navigation lights. Additionally, sailing vessels under sail at night or in low visibility conditions must also display lights, as do larger vessels like cargo ships and tankers. These lights help ensure visibility and safe navigation to prevent collisions on the water. Smaller boats, such as canoes and kayaks, may also be required to have navigation lights if operating after dark or in poor visibility.
