Careening a boat is when you beach it or push through shallow waters.

Answer :

Careening is the act of beaching your boat in shallow water at high tide so that when the tide goes out, the hull is exposed and dry. This allows repairs and bottom work to take place in locations where dry docking is not viable or available.

Hope this helps!
