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.
