get a new passport under a new name. Unless you're a fugitive, no one
would ever have any reason to question its legitimacy.

Actually it is getting much harder. Pressure is on for nations to use
barcoding and other electronic means of imprinting on passports for
recording, tabulating, and verifying entry and exit records. The phony
document that fools an inspectors eyes won't fool the computers that
examine it. Many countries are instituting policies of requiring visa's
for people coming from nations that will not have have such fraud
proofed passports. And then there's the coming biometric data
requirements...

Of course the ultimate way to disappear and not be found, would be to
drown.

I suppose it might be possible to simulate that by setting off in a
boat and then wrecking it and leaving the wreckage while actually
getting to shore and buying another boat and taking off from there.

But the OP was really asking whether you could conceal a boat in the
ocean by using low tech methods so that high tech methods could not
find you. And my answer is - it's a whole lot easier not to be found
if no one is looking.
