What if Hagrid took a portkey? The sensation of using a portkey as
described from Harry's PoV in the beginning of GoF seemed a bit like
flying and rather unpleasant. Especially if you're someone who gets
motion-sickness like Hagrid did in the Gringott's carts... Also in
GoF, Amos Diggory announced he'd be glad when Cedric passed his
Apparation tests and they didn't have to use them anymore. 

Hagrid might have brushed off the use of a portkey as "flying" since
it became obvious Harry had no idea he was a wizard and knew nothing
about the WW. Also, Hagrid might not have known how to explain how a
portkey worked. Taking the boat, rather than the portkey buried in one
of his many pockets, back to the mainland was a lot easier for both
Hagrid and Harry to deal with.
