Boats in Minecraft can function as both items and vehicles. You can collect them by attacking repeatedly until they drop as items. As vehicles, they have the same speed as a Mine Cart and do not reduce the Hunger bar, so they are great means of transportation. To craft a Boat you will need 5 Boards (any type, but all must be the same). When you get them, organize them like this: Planks are obtained through any combination of wood, which in turn are obtained through trees. After the craft, your Boat will look like this:
