boat trip

Voyage by water

A boat trip is an excursion or journey taken by boat, typically for pleasure rather than transportation.

The phrase suggests a recreational outing—a cruise, ferry ride, or sailing adventure—rather than simply getting from one place to another: We took a boat trip around the harbor.

Unlike voyage, which implies long distances, boat trip often describes shorter, leisurely outings.
