It could be tides, or waves, or wind. It could be a movement of cargo or people in the boat. It could be propulsion by oars, punts, paddles, propellers. There is not enough information to answer the question.

How can water move the boat?
if the water is moving then it will exert a force on the side of the boat. Still water will not move a boat.
How can a boat move at constant velocity if its propeller provides a steady force to it?
Terminal velocity, where the driving force = drag force from the water
How can a boat move at constant velocity if it's propeller provides a steady force to it?
Terminal velocity, where the driving force = drag force from the water
What is a force that cause an object move in circle?
A force that could cause a object to move in a circle would be centripetal force. That is a product of mass and centripetal acceleration. It is quite a bit complicated.
What is required for a force to work on an object?
The force must cause the object to move.
What cause the boat to move?
the pressure and force of the water.

What happens when a force moves?
Force can cause mass to move, it does not move in itself.
A man standing in a boat fires horizontally would the boat move in the direction of fire or none?
Newton's Third Law: For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The boat (and man) would receive an impulse force opposite to the direction of firing. The boat would move opposite to the direction of firing. To determine how much, you would need to consider the relative masses of the boat/man vs the bullet, and include the duration of the impulse. (The boat would probably not move far, but it would move.)

What produces the force that cause earthquakes as rocks move and break?
The force that cause Earthquakes as rocks to move and break are called plate tectonics
Why doesn't the force you exert when sitting on a chair cause the chair to move?
because the floor exerts the same amount of force which means the net force is balanced causing it not to move
How can a force cause something to move?
When the force is great enough to overcome the object's inertia.
What happens in order for matter to move?
A force must be applied to cause matter to move.
