Thinkofname's commit f060bba1ca5 does not appear to have resolved this; VehicleMoveEvent still seems to not fire when a player is riding the boat.

• Version tested: This server is running CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-5a40365-b103841 (MC: 1.9.2) (Implementing API version 1.9.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
• Code used: https://gist.github.com/RoyCurtis/e358a35781144021445db56aa456c1cf
• Video reproduction: http://vanderprot.gamealition.com/img/00c2c.mp4

Edit: I'm assuming that this event is supposed to fire for players and that md_5's comment is outdated, due to this commit and the bug being reopened previously

Please disregard; boats do not track velocity when ridden, so my testing code was making me think the event didn't fire. Should have used breakpoints; sorry!

Basically moving boats are actually treated as players moving them so PlayerMoveEvent is fired instead.

@md_5

What's version are you running and what's your code? I've simplified my testing to just this and I'm having the same behavior as before. It'll spam chat if the boat is empty but as soon as I get into it then it'll stop.

Players and Villagers both work in my testing:
