Ride on a boat. Thread starter Hotmale Start date Dec 8, Hotmale Senior Member Polish. Hello Can I say "ride a boat" and "ride on a boat"? Is "ride" a correct word for a "boat"? Thank you. Pham Member Vietnam. I saw somwhere they write: "ride on the waves" and " ride on the winds", so I think "ride on a boat" is ok. Pham said:. Actually, I didn't think about any particular boat. What I had in mind was the collocation, whether "ride" collocates with "boat".
All I know for sure is that you can ride a bicycle, a horse or a camel. Hotmale said:. Dimcl said:. If that's the case, the answer is no, you can't ride a boat.
In all of your examples, the verb "ride" is correct because you are physically astride the conveyance and are doing the steering, speed-control. This is not the case with a boat. Ride is also used when you're in a vehicle and you're not the driver: i. Grumpy Old Man said:. So, when Johnny Cash sings: boat ride for couples near me v1 along and ride this train I see no references to a dictionary or anything.

Last edited: Dec 9, I agree with Dimcl, 'riding a boat' is not usual. I also don't find any of GWB's examples objectionable at all. To me, you can ride on or in a boat, but not simply ride a boat. Thank boat ride for couples near me v1 all for the answers.
We may have a case of the individual conveyance determining the word use. I wonder if another factor, but not always, is the size of what is being ridden. If the thing ridden is close to the size of the rider maybe the use of ride without "on" is more assuredly acceptable: ride a pony, ride a motorcycle, ride a turtle.
The size may also play into whether or not the rider is able to be in control of the conveyance. I've got another question concerning "ride". In my English textbook I read "It will be my ride" and "ride" referred to a car coming to pick somebody up.
Is it very common to say so? Can I say: "It will be my drive"? I am asking because you drive not ride a car. Thanks for your suggestion Cheers. Moderator note: I agree with Cagey that boat ride for couples near me v1 supplementary question should have a new thread, Hotmale.
To everyone else: please do not address this question here as the topic is different enough to require its own thread. Notwithstanding any definition of "ride" that you might find in a dictionary, it is not idiomatic at least not in my world to "ride a boat".
Oddly enough, you can take a "boat ride". Note that ride in Collins is a noun. I think we are fine with 'a boat ride'. It's the verb that is problematic for most of us.
