Happens to everyone. My personal theory on why this happens is because the client and server disagree on where the boat is. You walk onto the boat because your game says the boat is there, and the server thinks you're floating in the air because it says the boat is somewhere else. The server disconnects you, because obviously there's something fishy going on.
This happened to me once on the Feathermoon boat and when I reconnected, the boat had made it from the mainland to the island in the time it took me to reconnect, which normally takes a lot longer, so it seems like some sort of desynchronization between the client and server.
This bug doesn't seem to happen on the intercontinental boats, fortunately. Probably because the boats routinely disappear and reappear, meaning there is never enough time for them to desynchronize.
