I would go with "subir al barco". And then when the ship leaves the word for leaving the dock is "zarpar".

"zarpar". Nice word, easy to remember! - dennywells, Dec 5, 2013
See her original post and essay the title of which I sited. "Zarpar" new word, thanks! I think it meant boarding for police purposes rather than leaving on a cruise. - Jubilado, Dec 5, 2013
Agreed. I just thought it might be a good place to throw in zarpar. - gringojrf, Dec 5, 2013

See your earlier post
Can you explain, and help me improve?
that Francot (a native speaker) answered. He used abordar barcos.

Because embarcar is a nautical term, I would use a different word to avoid being redundant, ie: Vamos a empezar el viaje en barco.
But: Vamos a embarcar en avión/tren y acabar el viaje en barco.

If you are trying to say, "Embark on the Boat" then yes.

basically. What I was trying to say was "board the ship" - actorgirl, Dec 5, 2013
