A single white light on a boat means the boat is moving.
If you see both the red and green lights but not the white one, the boat is coming right for you and something's wrong because the white light has to be visible from any angle for a distance of two miles. <<>> If there's no white light it's a sailing boat. If you see red and green the boat is under sail and you are lined up with its bows. A small motor boat also needs a white light high up and visible all round.

The green and white lights on a boat are very important for traveling at night. These lights indicate which end of the boat is which.
A white light used by itself which can be seen in all directions is the anchor light, which means you are anchored. A white used in conjunction with bow lights (green and red) are your navigation lights. The white light indicates your stern ( back of boat). If all you can see is the white light, a boat is either anchored or underway going away from you.

Small boat light.
At night, boats are supposed to display navigational lights; these are red, green, and white. The lights are screened/shielded so that each light is only visible from a certain range of directions.If you are on a boat and can see the red, green, and white navigational lights from another boat all at the same time, you should watch out, because that means that it is moving directly toward you and there is the possibility of a collision.
