Depends on the size.
Most large commercial vessels are steel - cheapest and most durable.
Aluminum is a close second, and probably the leader in intermediate commercial vessels, but it has special corrosion issues.
Small intermediate and down - composites, including fiberglass and carbon fiber.

Steel is the primary material for building large ships, while aluminum and composites are used in smaller vessels. Some ships have steel hulls with aluminum superstructures.
