Float Your Boat is a recurring physical challenge that debuted in Survivor: Marquesas and reappeared in Survivor: All-Stars.

Survivors must race to remove rocks that are piled up inside the tribes boat sunken at the bottom of the ocean. Once enough rocks are removed, the tribes would race to bail out the water and paddle to shore.  First tribe to reach the finish would win.
