One thing that comes to mind in the whole "pull your eyes into an image" when using this type of perspective is that the vanishing point should (in a perfect world) end up within the frame or better still to one of the 3rd points (rule of thirds).  This is a personal observation btw - i'm not sure if this is convention, because i am self taught:

Personally i would have tried to get a wider angle if at all possible, giving a bit more of the scene on the left, if anything avoiding the closest boat... the perfect world would have another boat on the vanishing point (the red dot) facing a different direction, and thus would be the main focus of the image.

That is just one take on it.  I'm sure there are other points and even counterpoints to add. 😄
