Thumb up for this idea.
If boatman can transport wares, why not settlers. It would be more realistic and definitely more helpful, because now some islands are unavailable and it is impossible to build anything on them. Only on few maps you are to build port, so I think it is time to raise the importance of boatmen and let them transport people. Also the default waterway length should be increased and let's let boatmen move a bit faster.
