这句话的意思是去划船，现在分词boating做的是目的状语。
现在分词作状语时，表示的动作是主语动作的一部分，与谓语表示的动作或状态是同时或者几乎同时发生的，有时先于谓语动词的动作发生。分词作状语一般要用逗号和其它成分隔开，但也有不隔开的。如：
He cut himself while shaving.
Having written an important letter, I listened to the music for a while.
On hearing the news, they immediately set off for New York.
I slipped in getting off the train.
Being spring, the flowers are in full bloom.
The children came running to meet their parents.
Turning to the right, you will find a path leading to Pete Waters's house.
The child fell, striking his head against the door and cutting it.
Taking more care, I still made quite a few mistakes.
He has gone hunting.
After taking the medicine, she felt better.
This is a burning red dress.
希望我能帮助你解疑释惑。
