they don't even have to bother with a raft..... just wait for one of the frequent timeouts  that seem to happen while afk, and the game will automatically disable the "do not  board setting, AND move a previously fishing character up to at least 15+ meters onto the nearest boat,.

For a game that claims that pulling people out safezones to kidnap/kill/feed-to-mobs is griefing, the devs sure do seem to go out of their way to enable the behavior.

"Do not board" should be a sticky character setting in the menus.... you can't tell it can't be done, because the entire hotbar UI behaves that same way
