boat-in

Arrive by vessel

A boat-in is a place or event accessible only by water, analogous to a drive-in but requiring a boat: a boat-in campsite, a boat-in restaurant, a boat-in movie theater.

The term also describes the act of arriving somewhere by boat: We'll boat-in to the island tomorrow morning.
