skiff

Kennedy now came alongside in the skiff, bringing a warp-line from the shore, by which the Maud was hauled up to the wharf.

He wrapped the remains of the turkey in a paper, depositing it in a covered metal container in the bottom of the skiff.

I've had an alligator roll up against a skiff and pretty near come aboard after I'd harpooned it.

They had run into nominally still water, and the skiff was losing momentum.
