I encountered a weird Bug that myself and fellow boat traveler encountered.. we were taking the boat from Selbina to Mhaura when we hit the 4min till dock mark the whole boat reset the boat ride and was 16mins again and i see the dunes getting smaller in the distance ... sooo yea...

It happens from time to time. The boat loops. Always bring a warp item or /blm if you're hitting up the ships! :O

i didnt bring a warp... didnt think i needed it and BLM is lv1
XD

You should always always always always have a warp scroll on you. Not everything works on the server, I got stuck in mog garden a bit over a year ago accidentally until someone came in and warped me out.
