This is simply because of the weight of the water versus the weight of the boat.

The water push upward with a force equal to the weight of the water the boat push away.

It is self stabilizing. The deeper the boat lie, the more water it push away, and the more will the water push back at the boat.

Of course, if you fill the boat, then it will most likely sink, but here again it depends on what material the boat is made of.

If the total volume of materials in boat weigh less than equal volume of water, the boat will still be floating.

Boats float due to a concept called buoyancy. When a boat displaces water equal to its weight, the force of buoyancy pushes upward on the boat, counteracting the force of gravity pulling it down. This allows the boat to stay afloat on the water rather than sinking.
