Use a booth for accommodating craft (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boathouse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodating craft' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'use a booth for' is the wordplay.
'use' is an anagram indicator.
'for' becomes 'use' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'booth'='abooth'
'abooth' with letters rearranged gives 'boatho'.
'boatho'+'use'='BOATHOUSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for boathouse that I've seen before include "Riverside structure" , "building by water's edge" , "Riverside construction" , "Bank building" .)
