It popped for me the moment I touched the last one, but it's not hard to ride it all the way anyway

It seems that is you "leave" the level by entering the Blue Balls bonus stage the achievement won't pop. While I've not tested it, I assume the same holds true for the Special Stage and dieing/ respawning.

It would be helpful with these achievements if people actually explained what it is you need to do. I've used these boats to get across and the achievement does not pop.

what are you confused about? the achievement says find and ride all the boats, and the video shows them

That's what it says after you unlock the achievement. Until then, it just says "We really like boats", which isn't very informative.

Some games, such as Guitar Hero 5, have both a locked description and a locked description for each achievement. Typically, the locked description isn't usually very informative.

If you login to your TrueAchievements.com account, you'll find a site setting that you can enable called Always show unlocked achievement descriptions.

I think the comment from JoeyPajamas about not leaving the level may be correct. Didn't get this on my first playthrough in Mania mode despite finding all these boats and a 4th one, but might have been because I went into a blue post stage. Tried it again in Time Trial ignoring the posts and it popped on the 3rd boat.

This can be attained on the first act of Hydrocity Zone. Playing as 'Tails only' makes it easier as he is able to swim to a limited extent (press jump twice).

To access the Level Select Screen, highlight the 'NO SAVE' option (with Tails selected as your character) and hold X followed by holding Start.

Follow the route shown in the video to find the 3 boats required to unlock the achievement.

For this trophy you need to ride the 3 boats during Act 1 of Hydrocity Zone. I got this as Tails and the boats are located along the top route.

This trophy is earned on Hydrocity Zone Act 1.

Pretty easy trophy, providing you always take the upper route whenever possible! There are 4 boats across the map that you need to ride on to earn the trophy, but it seems that only the first 3 are needed for the trophy (at least for myself it was just the first 3). The trophy is known to be buggy for some people, where it might not pop at all despite completing the requirements. If it happens to you, just play through the level again in Time Trial Mode and that should fix the issue!

From the start you can take any path, but the middle or upper paths are preferred. You will head upwards and reach an outer area above the water, containing a few chains that you can climb across. Keep following this path and you will land directly on the first boat.

As long as you don’t fall off this boat, continuing the level will force you onto the second boat. You’ll have to raise some water and then ride it as well.

The third one is a bit tricky. You’ll be sucked down under the water really deep, then have to use a bubble to get out. Instead of following this path to the right, head upwards to reach some fans which blow you skyward. From here, it’s a straight path to the 3rd boat. The trophy may pop after you ride this one.

The final boat seems to be impossible to miss providing that you took the previous 3, since the game will drop you right onto it!

The trophy will pop upon riding all the boats.
Here is a visual guide:

In the first act of Hydrocity Zone, if you try to move on land, but closer to the water level, you can stumble upon a boat.
To get the trophy you need to ride three boats during the act.
