You are supposed to stay with the boat, for more than one reason:
If it's sailboat, you would want to release the main and/or jib sheets. Then, by standing on the keel, bring 'er back upright. Then you can start bailing, and resume your activities.
The second reason is that rescue boats can find that boat easier in the water than they can spot you, alone. And, they may run you over in their attempt to get near the boat.
Warning: If it is a LARGE BOAT (like a cruise ship), row (in a lifeboat) or swim away FAST(!) because when she goes under, she will create a whirlpool, which will suck you under with her.
