Noun - A water vessel (e.g. kayak) where the semi-translucent hull is illuminated from within at night; like a Floating Chinese lantern.
We put headlamps in the bow and stern of a rotomolded kayak to make it glow and paddled across Upper Saranac Lake.

I popped some really bright glow sticks in my Hobie Cat hulls for night sailing, and it looked like the Star Trek Next Generation Enterprise nacelles at the beginning of the show intro.

A group of kayakers went on an Adirondack Lantern paddle last night.
