The temperature on Titan is 93.7K (-179.5C) and the atmospheric pressure is 146.7 kPa. The density of liquid methane is 423 kg/m3 and it boils at -162C.
The density of water is 1,000 kg/m3 and the air pressure on Earth is 101.3 kPa. So the boat would sink into the water more because methane is less dense.
Titan's atmosphere is 98.4% nitrogen and 1.6% methane, we would find it cold and there is no oxygen.
