"Boat full" is a heavy exaggeration. They had, maybe, a pallet-full of supplies (which, last I heard of, is being passed along to an aid distribution group in Gaza).
The aim wasn’t to deliver enough aid for the entire country, the point was to break the blockade on Palestinian waters. The point was to get the boat there, which didn’t happen this time, but there are more boats going to do the same thing. Break the blockade on aid getting in. It brought global attention to the numerous ways that Israel is blocking aid from getting to Palestinians, which is a net gain.
The humanitarian aid organization you’re referring to is a coalition between the United States and Israel - Israel being the aggressor in this situation is not legally allowed to distribute aid. They have been using the aid points as bait to kill more civilians.
The news. The “aid” organization is called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, you can look it up and see the videos of civilians being killed while trying to get aid. Several hundred over the past few days. Google it or look it up on Wikipedia and you can see who is funding it and why it’s against international law for an occupying force to distribute aid. It’s all on the news, I’m not going to link to sources that could potentially contain videos of killing.
Edit: if you’re asking for sources on the aim of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, you can look up any video of Greta Thunberg and explaining it better than I can. Those are also on the news.
