What does "dinghy over" mean?

Question:Hi, I could not understand what dinghy over means in this sentence;

"That evening, Mottola dinghied over from his boat and cooked pasta."

Thanks.

Answers:
It means he anchored up his primary boat and took a smaller boat he had tied up over to shore. Dinghy is another name for a smaller boat(maybe seats 4 or 5 max).
A dinghy is a little boat used to go to shore from a ship or yacht. So dingy over would mean Mottola came over in his small boat and cooked pasta (probably after he got there).

A dinghy is a small utility boat carried by a larger boat, or the term can refer to a class of small racing yachts. Utility dinghies are usually rowboats or have a small outboard motor while others may use a small sailing rig. They are used for off-ship excursions from larger boats, outside of docking at suitably-sized ports or marinas. When not in the above context, a "dinghy" commonly refers to any similar boat originally developed for that specific use, but now used in its own right for dinghy sailing or rowing.
No.

Your Welcome.

dinghy is a small boat carried by larger boats so they can anchor in the horbor and take the dinghy to shore.

I would guess he got in his dinghy and went and cooked some pasta
