Kayaking At Night Guide: The Law You Will Need

"Is it legal to kayak at night"remains one of the most commonly asked questions among paddlers considering taking their kayak out for a nighttime ride.
Generally speaking, there are no specific rules set in place by the USCG that would indicate that kayaking at night is in any way illegal. 

However, each state has different sets of regulations regarding nighttime paddling. So, familiarize yourself with the local rules of vessel operation before you head out on the water. 

In case you’re interested, here’s the actual Rule 2–Sailing Vessels Underway and Vessels Under Oars, as listed by the US Coast Guard: 

"A vessel under oars may exhibit the lights prescribed in this rule for sailing vessels, but if she does not, she shall exhibit an all around white light or have ready at hand an electric torch or lighted lantern showing a white light which shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision."

All non-motorized vessels under 23 feet, or 7 meters, in length–including kayaks and canoes – classify as "vessels under oars"and are regulated by the rule mentioned above.
