Is there an "analogy" dictionary?

A dictionary that would give you the search results "sailor", "mast", "steamboat", etc. upon searching the word "boat". I have been looking for such dictionary without luck. The closest thing there is is wiktionary, but then again you get a lot of garbage, and it's not particularly helpful.

Try this. It's quite good. Additionally, there is a more detailed dictionary.

Onelook's reverse dictionary is pretty good.

It's not a dictionary or a thesaurus you are describing. It is a "mind map" or word association.

Some of the terms are related items (sailor, captain, navy, seaman), some are types (steamboat, raft, frigate), some are parts. (keel, prow, figurehead, sail, mast, stern, bilge, cabin). There are many many more possible associations.
