*Swimmers cannot cross that kind of sea spaces.* This is what I'm looking for. By this rule, then Move Boat and Move Swimmer (dolphin) also can't be used to cross occupied tile?

This should be a common sense that you can't move boat through when it is blocked by sea serpent or whale, but I don't see the rule include this situation.

Can a boat move pass through a tile that is occupied by a sea serpent or whale safely? The boat does not stop on the occupied tile.
