I know the main priority of the game shouldn't be the boats, but come on. 15/20 minutes of just standing on a boat?
There should be little things that can happen. Like..
<ul type="square"> A cannon (when clicked, it shoots a cannonball, but doesn't effect anything. For pure fun)
Chairs to sit in?
A fancy place to go inside, like a staircase that goes below the boat, leading you to a fancy looking dining room with chairs, candles, all stuff from that era.
Ledaa - Ability to fish.
SethofAlmarak - Add a captain steering the boat.
