Perhaps for a non-raft to be made you would have to make a port, which is built on water next to land. Boats would harbor there when not in use and stuff

[Bumber]

Though it took an age to actually do, the elf did swim through over four tiles of ocean without ever even getting tired.. I was mostly worried about the potential of getting tired and sleeping in the ocean before reaching land

I'm pretty sure you can go forever without sleeping. I'd have been more worried about potential freezing and icebergs of doom, not to mention FPS death.

How about adding boats that simply copy most of the wagon code and path over water?

Toady doesn't even like the wagon's implementation right now, so it's unlikely he'd use that to hack in a second unsatisfying vehicle.  Boats will come when there is a general solution to multi-tile objects.

As for a single-tile raft, there's probably no harm in Blastbeard's suggestion of making a "minecart" that travels in water.

Boat ideas (along with other ideas)

Small war boat:

Has 15 beds, (5 for crew rest for military) has fortifications on the side for archers, a retracting bridge for boarding and below the deck a raising bridge for landing troops on land, able to board ships higher than itself somehow (climbing?)

War boat:

Has 30 beds, (10 for crew) kitchen, fortifications, tower with ballista/catapult that can destroy boats plus can fire below itself, landing/boarding stuff
