Hi Christy!
actually THROUGH water is tough, but simulating  moving across a
surface is easy.
try getting a surface grid (must be a surface i.e. nurbs) and  then
either:
projecting a path onto it and doing a path animation for the boat
deforming a null onto the surface ad attaching the boat with a position
constraint to the null

That should get you started.
