Esperanto keeps and apart more strictly than English does. A is small and usually open - a rowing boat, a lifeboat, something you could drag up a beach. A is a proper vessel with a crew. Calling an ocean liner a reads as odd rather than casual, which is the trap for English speakers used to saying "the boat" about anything that floats. o is a boatman, o a little dinghy. To travel by boat is per or boati, the second being rarer but perfectly formed.
