Boats are made for one purpose: to travel on water. Or so you'd think. In fiction, if need be, characters can take their boat straight onto land directly out of water. In action sequences, it's a sign of badassery, but it can also be a Comedy Trope.
Often overlaps with Sand Is Water.
It can distinguish a Cool Boat from a normal boat.
The opposite of Amphibious Automobile, which is a land vehicle that can go straight to water, though obviously there is a lot of overlap. Not to be confused with Saharan Shipwreck or anything to do with Shipping.

Area 88 has the Mafia-built Desert Carrier, an aircraft carrier on tracks that can submerge itself in the desert sands to escape detection. It boasts an air wing of robotic Harriers and F/A-18 Hornets and a similarly automated tank escort.

In the Grand Theft Auto games after Vice City, you can drive boats around and even go through land for a brief period of time. Of course, if you don't go back to the water, the boat won't work anymore.

In Dave Barry Slept Here, before the Panama Canal was built, the usual way to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific "was for a ship to start picking up a head of steam as it went past Cuba, so it would be going full speed when it rammed into the Isthmus of Panama, sometimes getting eight or even ten feet into the jungle before shuddering to a halt."

The James Bond franchise loves this trope:
Live and Let Die has a number of the boats involved in the bayou chase cut across land.
In Moonraker, after being pursued by Drax's thugs in Venice, Bond has his gondola converted into a hovercraft.
In the opening sequence of The World Is Not Enough, Bond takes the Q-Boat through the streets of London as he pursues the "Cigar Girl".

In Just Cause 3, having a boat on land is actually one of the feats, and you get ranked based on how much distance the boat covers before getting back into water.

Courage the Cowardly Dog plays this straight in the episode "The Sand Whale Strikes", in which a sand whale mistakes Eustace for his father, who cheated him in a card game years earlier. After the whale makes off with Eustace, Courage goes to Ma Bagge for help, and they go after the whale via rowboat... on land. In fact, at one point, Courage nudges Ma out of the boat, and she starts panicking that she's drowning, only to realize she's on land.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
The boatmobiles are an interesting case. They are essentially underwater cars, complete with wheels, driven on roads. This is justified due to the show's underwater setting, where Water Is Air and creatures that should be swimming walk on the seafloor instead. To complicate matters, there's also "regular" boats that float on the goo that passes for water, not to mention the Flying Dutchman's Ghost Ship, which floats overhead but still underwater.
This is lampshaded on the episode "Aargh!", where Mr. Krabs captains a pirate ship, which crashes on a reef. When he asks for a status report, SpongeBob responds, "The whole ship's underwater," which was, of course, already the case, but Krabs takes it as being marooned.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a plethora of amphibious units, though not all of them can be created at both the War Factory and Naval Yard.
The ones that can only be produced through the Naval Yard are the more obvious examples of this trope, such as the Soviet Stingray (a Spider Tank on land) and the Allied Assault Destroyer (which is a battleship on treads). Interestingly, being on land makes the latter more lethal, as it can run over most vehicles including tanks.
