In my experience…as long as you have life jackets aboard and are not being an obnoxious jerk (drunk, too fast etc) on the water, a flashlight should be fine.

My sense is that this is legal according to: A power-driven vessel of less than 7 metres (23.0 ft) whose maximum speed does not exceed 7 knots (13 km/h; 8 mph) must be capable of showing a white light I want to make sure this is current and I am presuming that “capable of” would include a handheld flashlight. I have read a few horror stories of people being cited by police for violating dinghy regulations and want to make sure I am legal or need an all around white light.
