Boisterous girl getting home by boat (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoyden
'boisterous girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'home by boat' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'den' (I've seen this before).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'boat' becomes 'hoy' (type of ship or barge).
'den' after 'hoy' is 'HOYDEN'.
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for hoyden that I've seen before include "No Hyde (anag)" , "A boisterous girl" , "A girl who behaves in a boyish manner" , "Tomboy" , "Romp" .)
