small craft

Small craft refers to boats and vessels generally under 65 feet in length used for transportation, recreation, or work on water. They include sailboats, motorboats, fishing boats, and dinghies. These vessels are designed for personal or commercial use in lakes, rivers, bays, or coastal areas. Small craft are typically easier to maneuver, require less space and resources, and are used for activities like fishing, leisure cruising, or transportation. They are distinguished from larger ships used for cargo or passenger services and are essential for many water-based livelihoods and hobbies.
