boat ride
Trip by vessel
A boat ride is a journey or excursion taken on a boat, typically for pleasure rather than transportation: We took a boat ride around the harbor.
The phrase emphasizes the experience of being on the water rather than the destination.
Figuratively, a long boat ride suggests an extended or tedious journey.
