You could built a boat of clay. Provided the clay has been fired and will not dissolve in water. Provided that once placed in water, it is able to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to prevent water coming inboard. Whether the clay walls of the vessel is strong enough to withstand the considerable forces of the oceans is another matter!

Why does a solid piece of clay sink while a clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
How can you make clay float in water?
In order for clay to float in water, you must spread it out as much as you can and form it into a boat shape, or you could spread it out, and take it and form it into a ball, but leave a big pocket of air in the middle, and it should float either way if done right.

Clay is porous so it has air bubbles in it as well as less dense than water so it stays above the water and the foil keeps it from absorbing the water and sinking.
