Issues - friendly fire - pickups near interactables
The ship is small and feels cramped but I understand that's the nature of a single shared screen game.

What doesn't help:
The charge combo is huge so you are bound to whack you ship mate when you charge it.
Especially as the enemies aim near cannons and the interactables (cannons,ammo,pickups) on the ship where your mate would likely be.
Fix: allow turn off friendly fire or reduce hitbox for friendly fire. Make enemies aim further away from interactables.

Pickups often harpoon onto the ship too close to interactables (cannons, ammo, pickups). This causes accidental interactions. Picking up a bomb when you meant to pickup a wood ect. Entering a cannon when you just wanted the harpoons stack near them.

Fix: make pickups getting hooked into their own spots further away from interactables.

Same issue with broken ship. Spawns can be too close to cannons. This causes you to load wood into cannons instead of using it on ship.
Fix: As above if enemies aimed further away from cannons better. Maybe not allow damage near cannons.

I think with these few QOL fixes, might be friendlier to players and make less frustrating accidents occur.
Less frustration, more fun.

I feel like... a lot of your complaints are kind of the point?

The game has a bunch of simple tasks that are easy to dink, and then it tries to frazzle you and a friend. It's a lot like overcooked in that sense.

I can definitely feel the complaint regarding damaged ship parts. We had it at least 2 times, that we could Not repair due to unlucky leak (damage) spawns

you know i had the same problems as you. i learned to take my time with the repair first and aim at the repair better.
it highlights what you will interact with so thats the biggest indicator of whether you want to push the button or not.
beat the boss in single and co op so i know how hectic it gets.
when you swing around split the boat in to twos.
top half and lower half or left and right.
this helps to avoid hitting each other.
