It's better to start with a small fishing boat prior to committing to a larger boat.
To create a boat in the Java Edition, you'll need to lay three of the same type of wood planks along the bottom row, and two more in the right and left spaces in the middle row.
You can use any type of wood, depending on the aesthetic you're after however, it must be the same kind throughout (you cannot mix and match Oak with Birch for example). These are the most popular types of wood can be used to construct boats:
Oak planks, Spruce planks, Birch planks, Birch planks, Jungle planks, Acadia planks, Dark Oak planks
You'll require the same wood for the Bedrock Edition to add a wooden shovel to the middle of your crafting grid.
