Boat racing is one of the government-controlled competitive sports along with “bicycle racing”, “horse racing”, “auto racing”, etc., and is a competition performed on a motor board that applies the motorboat racing format.

The race is divided into five classes, "SG, G1, G2, G3, and General Battle". SG (Special grade) is the highest grade race.

The official name was unified as "競艇, Kyoutei" (Lit. Boat Racing) from 1997 to 2009, but from 2010, it was stylized as "BOAT RACE".
In the past, it was sometimes called a boat or motorboat race.
