You can eat and move a boat if you stop for even a frame, begin eating and continue moving. This is not intended behavior seeing as you cannot begin eating while moving the boat. While not critical this basically makes this feature useless.

My suggestion for a fix for this would be to check if the player is in a boat while eating, then to disable movement keys if it's found the player is in the boat until they stop eating.

Search feature doesn't seem to be very helpful when looking at specifics, I guess the use function would make more general sense but to the average reporter I doubt this is something even I would've thought of.
I agree that searching is hard sometimes. Although the report I linked is the first result when searching boat eat.
However most people are stuck with s specific choice of words, so no worries.
