My suggestion is once docked, press esc, then use teleport to go back to island. This also makes sure my ship definantly disapears quickly. This is good if you running from navy ships.
I have found if i leave my ship, even if i wasnt being chased by navy ship, that i can find my ship was defeated before game has decided if back on dry land
So see if teleporting off deck helps ya.

EDIT: ok seems the two devs (dumb and dumber) working on testing coding have been at it again, seems they stopped u teleport off your ship, so now as has been said, its back to jumping off ship, and ending up swiming under islands.
Isn't it about time they did a proper dock system where u can chose to leave ship and actually end up back on the DOCK! Before stopping us doing our useful shortcuts
, seems logical to me anyways.
Ok, if u can't get back on land, by going to beach and walking up, only other solution, is to find a door or character u can interact with as close to your swimming level as possible, if your lucky enough it shud right you on land, doors are best for this.
On Tortuga, theres a door, with 3 steps in front of it on beach, just left of arch to town square. This has served me well before. Not sure on port royal off hand.
