Vocabulary
Boat?
Dear All,
I've found that 'boat' is a fairly broad term, used for small and larger representatives of the category alike.
But, could you, please, let me know how you would refer to boats like these if you wanted everybody to have the same thing come to mind?

The white boat appears to be a tender: a boat used to ferry people or goods from one place to another (from shore to a larger ship, for example). There appears to be space at the stern for a motor. The red boat appears to be a rowboat.
