A boat hook is part of boating equipment. Its most common use is as a docking and undocking aid. It may be similar to a pike pole, however it commonly has a blunt tip, for pushing during undocking, with a hook for docking. In addition, it may have a line attached to the other end, which may have a ring for this purpose.[1]
It may be also used for pulling things out of water, such as debris or people, as well as for other fetching tasks and holding-off from other boats or landings.
