Using a punt

• Watercraft cannot land on land which is already occupied by an item. It can be helpful to make use of the [;] key, which allows you to pickup items adjacent (including diagonal) to your current location, thereby clearing the desired landing. Furthermore, by doing this you can avoid having to step off your watercraft when grabbing items up to two spaces away. This can be especially useful for collecting stones, food from cellars, etc.

Carrying capacity

Due to a bug, all watercraft in version 3.16 could hold an infinite amount of items, but this has since been remedied to the following default stats: A punt can't carry more than 6000 pounds (since at least ver. 3.17). A raft holds up to 15 800lbs (since at least ver. 3.18).

Either way, the carrying capacity of both watercraft types is still high enough to make the carrying of items back from a raid or woodcutting trip much easier.
