Abstract: A boat has at least one portion (3, 4) of the freeboard in the region of the stem of the boat arranged movable from a closed position, in which it seals the space (6) inside the freeboard with respect to the exterior of the boat, and an open position, in which it provides an opening (21) between the exterior of the boat and space so as to enable to pick up objects from the water in which the boat floats through the opening. The freeboard portion is arranged to be displaceable along the floor (11) of the space for moving the freeboard portion from the closed to the open position and then gradually increase the width of the opening (21).
