In sailing vessels, a ship has three or more masts. (A full-rigged ship means a ship with all three masts square-rigged). A boat has less than 3 masts.

In modern non-sailing terms, a boat is a vessel than can fit on another vessel. In other words, an aircraft carrier is a ship, whereas a deep-sea fishing vessel is a boat.
