There are alot of logistical issues that come with these "Group" crafts mainly in implementation of their use and function.
Best bets is when/if Player run companies are created it will be used for that, your guild has a large ammount of high level crafters? Well you can then make a new boat that when used in "Sea" content has perks like being able to reach your destination faster, or perhaps can enfeeble monsters who board your ship in transit.
Perhaps if they used player owned boats in instanced boss fights there would be advantages to having a upgraded boat during that boss fight. Shields on the boat to reduce damage it (Or players) take.
We don't have the infastructure to implement these ideas currently, Yoshi-P stated he would love to add it, they just have no use for it right now. Give it time.
