If travelling by ship takes more than 2 weeks, there is very good reason to assume, that they are Covid-free. Also they could be allowed to dock and be required to stay on the ship until cleared by testing. So yes, they have broken the word of the law, but the form of transport should make a difference.

Regardless of being out at sea for 14 days. If the border is closed you can't enter the country. Just because you arrive in a boat by yourself doesn't change this.

Oh sure, it doesn't change the law. My point was rather, that the law should distinguish how people come into the country.
