Models of papyrus boats were made of painted wood, while real boats were made of wood and a few were built of papyrus stalks.

Reed rafts were mainly used for hunting in the marshes with poles, nets, or boomerangs and for organized sports and competitions.

Boats made of papyrus were connected with gods and royalty. They were used for either daily activities such as sailing for entertainment or for religious events such as transporting statues of the gods, pilgrimages, or ceremonies related to banishing evil spirits. Wooden boats were used to transport heavy cargo.
