The reason that a boat floats in the water it's based on a classic theory of physics by Isac Newton. That said for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Hope I've been helpful. Check for Isac Newton.

My own explanation is without believing that i have a greater mind than the physicist but i believe that the water molecules are heavier than air so it pushes the boat upwards towards air cause the air has less density and the boat has no where else to go so it moves towards the air molecules that have less density.

I want you to know that as deeper you go to the bottom the bigger the pressure and that's because the water molecules on surface put weight pressure from gravity to the water that's nearer the bottom so the molecules near the bottom are more pressurized from the water on top and if you try to sink a ball it's more difficult to force her to stay near the surface.You can only touch the ball if the water is shallow.
