  What’s honestly wrong with that? If I owned a boat in the area, I would have though to cruise out take a look. What exactly would be the problem?

    Hopefully you'd at least have the sense not to get between the recovery vessel and the spaceship.

    It’s a dynamic rescue operation so you could easily end up in the way. It’s also a space ship so there’s toxic fuel and gasses involved. So lots of obvious problems and probably a few more that are less obvious.

  They responded afterwards that this shouldn't have happened, and while the area was clear for landing, tons of boats arrived after they landed. SpaceX people appeared visibly upset about it and NASA said they'll do better next time. Basically the coast guard dropped the ball here.
