Idea:
Have the same boat at several docks in game. Each boat can preview a new boat home.
In the home, player can activate ship's wheel to select from a list of destinations. Player is then teleported to the selected dock (exits home). This gives the illusion of "travel" by boat and lets the player decide which zone the boat "is in".
It would be nice if the boat's surrounding home had a cramped industrial feel, like
Broken Oar Grotto in Skyrim.
