    Usually it is because the host is trying to get a friend in.

    Which boats are you trying? For 'end-game' 3/4 party boats, what ikevi said is probably the case. However lower level boats recently (since the New/Returning buff event) often boot people if the host is using two or more accounts and is ashamed/trying to hide that they are doing it (even though it isn't necessarily against the rules). That said, I have had a handful of times where its clear that when I zone in, the party already started the 'introduction transition' and I have been booted a few times from that. I've also actually zoned in after the party has been transferred to the instance (but not me), so I see the UI when a new map starts, but everyone else is placed next to each other and never move (and I'm still on the boat)...

    If you get into the loading screen and then get booted back to town, you simply got kicked. Though I did experience one boat that appeared for almost a week on EU, where you got an error message whenever you tried to join it. But that got fixed with a maintenance.

    If it's 3/4 boat and you get ported back to town immediately in 95% cases it just means instant kick from host who is saving the spot for someone.
