“Water travelling

The main fact that speaks for water transport is the relatively small costs. That’s why rivers, seas and oceans are filled with new cargo, ocean liners, passenger vessels, ships, boats, ferries and other steamboats. Other advantage is unlimited weight of luggage - everyone can take as much luggage as he want.
Disadvantages are quite long periods of time to carry people to the place of destination that is why it is used especially for transporting goods. But in general not many people have the courage to board a ship because although trip is inexpensive they can still become sea-sick.
The sea transport is divided into two main classes: Tramp shipping and liner services (transatlantic liners).
Tramp shipping is used mainly to carry such bulk cargoes as coal, ores, grain, timber etc. Tramps have no fixed time o sailing and no fixed routes and the freight rates are relatively low.
Liner companies provide regular traffic between ports in different parts of the world both passengers and cargoes. As a rule liners are quicker than tramp steamers. They sail according to fixed schedule, have fixed routing – the rates are quoted according to fixed tariffs.
River transport has not a great importance for the Czech Republic, which is without direct access to the sea.
Another way to spend a holiday could be on a cruise. We can cruise on anything from the size of a small sail ship, luxurious motor yachts with a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom and so on, or a river barge to a large cruise liner almost the size of the Titanic. Today´s large and modern vessels can be also equipped by restaurants, swimming pools or cinemas and shops. Some rich people board on these vessels for one month and spend their vacations there. It is very expensive.
Canoes, kayaks and rafts are owned by private individuals.
Ferries are often used in cities with rivers, bays or lakes. Ferry technology includes ferryboats, hovercraft and hydrofoils. Ferryboats are used to carry people and often motor vehicles over short distance. Sizes vary from small boats that can hold a few passengers to large vessels. A hovercraft rides on a cushion of air created by air pressure. It is popular for crossing the English Channel between France and England. Hydrofoils are large boats, which can reach a much higher speed than a regular boat because only a small part of vessel is in the water.

Ship = a large wind-driven or engine-powered vessel designed to carry passengers or cargo over water, especially across the ocean; or verb - to transport by ship
Boat = a small, often open vessel for travelling on water"
