Birch Boat with Chest
minecraft:birch_chest_boatThe Birch Boat with Chest is a birch-wood watercraft with a single chest built into it, letting you ferry both yourself and 27 slots of cargo across oceans, rivers, and lakes. It is crafted by combining a birch boat with a chest, and because the chest takes the second seat it carries only one passenger. You open the storage by sneaking and interacting with the boat, and it can even feed hoppers for simple automation.
