The effect an earthquake has on boats is that it can lead to a tsunami. The tsunami in Southern Asia a few years ago had an interesting phenomenon: Members of the Moken/ sea-gypsy people had not one casualty in the tsunami, because they knew that boats needed to go to deep water (and all people on land to high ground) as soon as they saw the sea-level receding. The greatest danger to boats is if they are in the dock in and after an earthquake. If they are at sea, staying in deep water is the best and safest thing to do.

In the deep water of the open ocean, tsunamis are hundreds of miles long an only a few feet high. So they aren't even noticeable at this point. When a tsunami reaches the shallower water near shore it slows down. Since the front slows down first, the back catches up, causing the wave to essentially pile up on itself. Now it comes in as a large, violent surge of water which can easily wreck boats.
