Small boats are versatile watercraft designed for various activities, including fishing, recreation, and transportation. They typically range in size from a few feet to about 25 feet long and can be powered by oars, sails, or small engines. Common types of small boats include kayaks, canoes, and dinghies. These boats are often used in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, making them accessible for both beginners and experienced users. Their lightweight design allows for easy handling and transport, while their smaller size enables navigation in shallow waters where larger vessels cannot go.
