If it's a canoe, either try and siphon the water out by rightin the boat in the water and tilting it up and down from the side, or grab the rim of it while it's upside down and swim to the nearest shallow water. Otherwise, could you be a bit more specific? I'd be happy to answer the question if it included the location of the boat and what type of boat it is.
When your boat capsizes you need to stay with your boat
securely fasten your PFD!!
If you have a small boat that capsizes in a stream you should try to roll it over. If the stream is shallow this should be easy.
stay with the boat and signal for help.
hopefully, youre talking about a sail boat. get on the centerboard and the boat should flip over.

Hang onto the boat or climb onto it. DO NOT leave the boat.
If your boat capsizes and floats away, there are various things that you can do. The most important thing is to try and float and shout for help. If you are not very far from the shore, you can swim out of the water.
If a persons boat capsizes and remains upside down, they can use it as a flotation device. This can help a person stay above water until help arrives.
climb onto the bottom of the overturned boat
If a small boat capsizes, the first thing to do is try and float on the back with toes pointed toward shore or downstream if in a river. Use the arms to try and push toward shore. Yell for help as loud and as often as possible. If a person can reach the capsized boat, one or two people can climb onto the keel of the boat out of the water.
Securely fasten your PFD, and wait for help.
