When I ride in the water for about 5 minutes my boat just randomly breaks. It does this when i've been riding for about 5 minutes. It is very annoying

Maybe you crashed against Squid
No

I have experienced this sometimes (no squids or other animals or swamp biomes or anything nearby), but in each occasion it has happened, the boat was behaving weirdly before breaking. Like, if there was invisible ground here and there. This usually happens when the world has been running non-stop for quite a while so I've just thought that the boat is supposedly a little bit elsewhere than what is seen (sync problem between server/client or something). Quitting and reloading has either removed the quirky boat, or moved it a bit and then works smoothly again.

Were you riding through a swamp biome?
