Morphology
douche + boat
The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun compound where 'douche' (slang for an obnoxious or obnoxiously behaved person) modifies 'boat', so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a boat associated with douchey/party behaviour. This attributive composition follows regular English word-formation patterns and is therefore directly derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Douche boat likely comes from putting the insult douche, meaning a 'rude, annoying person', together with boat to create the image of a small party boat full of loud people who behave badly. So people call a boat a douche boat when they mean the people on it are noisy or rude.
