The difference between a ship and a boat is size. Generally, a boat is a smaller craft than a ship. Ship is the more broad term for any oceangoing craft. A boat is a small vehicle for traveling on water. A boat can have oars, paddles, sails, or a motor to make it move. A ship is a large boat that can travel across deep water, such as a sea or ocean. A ship is built to carry people or goods for a long distance. A ship is propelled by sail or power only. However, there are two notable exceptions: submarines are officially boats and ore-carrying vessels that traverse great lakes can be called boats. However, these are usually called lake freighters and it is not improper to reffer to one as a ship.

When I think of the difference between a boat and a ship. I usually think of size and how it is powered. Boat: paddles, small engine, or sail. Ship: Boiler system or huge engines.

Boats are much smaller. A ship can carry boats but not the other way around.

A boat can fit on a ship, but a ship can't fit on a boat.

Size is probably the difference between these two sailing vessels--- ship being the larger of the two.

size is the major thing, ships are small and weak, ships are big and strong.
Boats are small vehicle that can move across water (shallow) and are used to get across small distances, like across a lake.
Ships are huge vessels that can travel across deep water for long distances (ocean). Huge engine powers the ship.
