seacraft

Ships and boats

Seacraft refers to vessels designed for travel on water, particularly the ocean or sea.

The term encompasses boats, ships, and other waterborne vehicles collectively or individually.

It can also denote skill in navigation or seamanship—the craft of working at sea.

The harbor was full of seacraft of every size.

The word parallels aircraft in structure, treating the sea as a domain requiring specialized vehicles and expertise.
