So to the comments that say they never move, I dont know but i logged out last night and my boat was on the shore and logged in this morning and i could see my boat but i would have died trying to swim to it. It moved somehow.

my empty boat moves only when I leave sail and the wind pushes it away

otherwise it stays in place, even when waves damage boat... it doesn't swim awat
