They discussed this at the council of Elrond in the first book and it’s because of the corsairs of Umbar aka the pirates we see in the 3rd movie

Because that was more dangerous because of the Red Corsairs

Or they could’ve just gotten the Eagles to fly them there

Because they were at Rivendall for the secret meeting. They would have had to backtrack towards the ring wraiths tracking them. Also the pirates from RotR were working for Sauron.

Also ignoring the pirates hobbits are deathly afraid of the water, and very reluctantly went in the boats they got in lothlorien

They'd probably bump into some oddballs claiming to be looking for "the One Piece", whatever that is.

Well they had the dudes with the elephants as a navy patrolling the coast and its harder to hide from the gaze of sauron on open water

Sea monsters and pirates

because they originally were ONLY supposed to deliver the ring to Rivendell. where gandalf wanted elrond to decide what happened next. he never wanted Frodo to go to Mordor

Paul Andrew :
they didnt even think of going to mordor until Rivendell and also pirates. loads of pirates loyal to sauron.

dice goblin.imp :
because sauron was expecting them to take it to the ocean to the undying lands to get it away from him instead of going to Mordor to destroy it

thaneunited :
um maybe bc a thousand troops patrolling would easily be able to spot track and cutoff a boat going down the river and beyond hard to hide lol and again any shire boat couldn't handle sea even shore

chrissmith9235 :
Pirates, and sea was not safe in general. Ulmo I doubt would allow the ring in his waters, plus it is the Sundering Sea, full of monsters.

Wouldn’t they be plagued by those pirate people or Ring Wraiths on Wings all the time till their ship broke and they drowned
