A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.

How the airplane float?
The same way anything floats, by displacing an amount of water that weighs as much as it does. Airplanes that are meant to float on water typically either have boat-like hulls or floats whose purpose is to displace enough water to allow the airplane to float.
A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat does the water level in the pool move upward?
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board. The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and the surface level in the pool must rise.
What does it mean when displacement is talked about in sailboats?
Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.

What if you boat capsizes and floats away. What should you do?
If your boat capsizes and floats away, there are various things that you can do. The most important thing is to try and float and shout for help. If you are not very far from the shore, you can swim out of the water.
When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.
