Review and understand all local and state laws.
Any time two vessels on the water meet one another, one
vessel has the right-of-way. It is called the stand-on vessel.

WKHJLYHZD\RUEXUGHQHGYHVVHO
These rules determine which vessel has the right-of-way, and
accordingly, what each vessel should do.
The vessel with the right-of-way has the duty to continue its
course and speed, except to avoid an immediate collision.
When you maintain your direction and speed, the other vessel
ZLOOEHDEOHWRGHWHUPLQHKRZEHVWWRDYRLG\RX
The vessel which does not have the right-of-way has the duty
to take positive and timely action to stay out of the way of the

the white area. In this instance, you are the give-way vessel.
All vessels in the shaded area must yield to you as you are
the stand-on vessel. Both you and the meeting vessel must
alter course to avoid each other.
If you are meeting another power vessel head-on, and you
are close enough to run the risk of collision, neither of you has
the right-of-way. Both of you should alter course to avoid an
accident. You should keep the other vessel on your port (left)

If the other vessel is to the port (left) side, maintain your
course and direction, provided the other vessel gives you
the right-of-way as it should.
If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-way
vessel. This means that the other vessel is expected to
maintain its course and speed. You must stay out of its
way as you clear it, altering course and speed as neces-
sary.
