A boat is a watercraft of a large range of sizes designed to float, plane, work or travel on water.

Small boats are typically found on inland waterways (e.g., rivers and lakes) or in protected coastal areas.

However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore environment.

In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship).

Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water.

Some definitions do not make a distinction in size, as bulk freighters long on the Great Lakes are called oreboats.

For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats' rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape.

Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on their larger size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity.

A pontoon is a flotation device with buoyancy sufficient to float itself as well as a heavy load.

A pontoon boat is a flattish boat that relies on pontoons to float.

Boats with three pontoons are sometimes called “tri-toons.” These pontoons—or “tubes” for short—contain a lot of reserve buoyancy and allow designers to create massive deck plans fitted with all sorts of accommodations, such as expansive lounge areas, stand-up bars, and sun pads.

Better tube design has also allowed builders to put ever-increasing amounts of horsepower on the stern.

Pontoons may be used on boats, rafts, barges, docks, airboats, hovercrafts, floatplanes or seaplanes.

Pontoons may support a platform, creating a raft.

A raft supporting a house-like structure is a houseboat.

A fixed platform can be used as a dock.

Common boat designs are a catamaran with two pontoons, or a trimaran with three.

Pontoons may be simply constructed from sealed cylinders such as pipes or barrels, or fabricated as boxes from metal or concrete.
