Boat Trip largely utilizes LGBTQ+ identity and characters as a comedic device, relying on broad stereotypes and the discomfort of its straight protagonists. The humor often stems from caricatures and misunderstandings, resulting in a portrayal that leans towards ridicule rather than respectful or affirming representation.

Boat Trip features a transsexual character whose identity is revealed as a comedic plot twist. This revelation is met with shock and rejection by the protagonist, framing trans identity as a source of mockery and discomfort. The film reinforces harmful stereotypes without offering dignity or empathy.
