Yes, overtaking boats must give way to the boats they are overtaking. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs), a vessel that is overtaking another is considered to be the "give way" vessel. This rule ensures safe navigation and prevents collisions by allowing the overtaken vessel to maintain its course and speed.
