PC Bedrock, and PS4, playing on a Realms server, 1.18.2.
Boat is still present for some of the game's calculations - for example, Frostwalker enchantment does not make ice where the boat should be. Blocks cannot be placed in that spot, and falling blocks are "dropped" instead of falling through the space into water below. However, boat has no collision for the active player that was riding it previously. Trying to hit the boat usually acts like it's not there, though I was once able to get the "hit" sound about a block higher than I expected, though it never broke. Usually, another player can see the boat. If that player gets into the boat, they disappear also (as seen by the first rider), or appear to be standing where they were before entering the boat. Resets by the 2nd rider moving far away enough to unload visuals, and then the 1st player following and moving back in range.
