flotation is due to the fact the boat is less dense than the water, salty water is more dense than normal water. Consequently things can be heavier or more dense and still be less dense than water aka they float.

Do boats float better on fresh water or salt water?

The floating or sinking of an object depends on the upthrust force the water exerts on the object. By Archmides' principle, Upthrust Force = (Density of Liquid) * (Volume of Liquid Displaced by the object) therefore the upthrust force depends on the density of the liquid, and as salt water has a larger density than fresh water, boats should float better on salt water.

Salt water is denser than fresh water, giving a higher net buoyancy force upward from the bottom of the whale, allowing it to float better. This applies to anything; the more dense the medium, the easier it is to float on it.
