Difference Between A Ship And A Boat
Although everyone knows the difference between a ship and a boat, there are quite a few who often get puzzled between the two terms. Technically, there is a thin line between them and this often leads to a major confusion.
Size
It is said that the best way to distinguish between a ship and a boat is to remember that “A ship can carry a boat, but a boat cannot carry a ship.
Operational Areas
Ships are vessels that are operated in oceanic areas and high seas. They are mainly built for cargo/ passenger transportation across oceans. Boats in contrast, are operable in smaller/ restricted water areas and are mainly used for smaller purposes and mainly ply in areas near to the coast.
Navigation and Technology
Boats are simple vessels with less complicated equipment, systems and operational yacht maintenance requirements. Since ships are required to be operable for longer timeduration and travel across oceans.
Crew
Ships are huge in size and therefore they are managed by professionally trained navigators and engineers. A ship needs a captain to operate the ship and guide the crew.
