Most seafaring vessels that carry cargo are considered ships - container ships, tankers, bulkers, cruise liners. Most privately owned vessels used for pleasure are boats.
There are also work boats - tug boats, offshore service vessels, ferries... these are commercial vessels, but usually too small to really be thought of as a ship.
It's not a particularly clear or satisfying answer, but I'm not sure you'll get a more precise answer that these. I don't believe one exists.

The Navy defines a ship as being able to go to sea.and cross an ocean. A boat does not go into the "blue" water.(except as submarine)There is a complicated volumetric formula used to determine if a boat can be documented that by measurement determines a ship . A 27 foot sailboat does not qualify a 30 footer does. But that does not mean that all 30 footers are capable of sea going voyages.
