Just checking. :)
Depends where the ship is (ship is on the water, right?), but yes in most cases.
For a very, very large ship (floating city), the GM may argue that it is an urban environment, rather than water.
My understanding is that "rather than" isn't a valid argument with respect to terrain, as something can explicitly be more than one type of terrain. (For example, see the wording of the ranger's favored terrain ability: "If a specific terrain falls into more than one category of favored terrain, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.") A river in the middle of a forest is both water and forest....

I agree, they can be two, or more. I was thinking of a very very large ship, large enough to be its own city. I would just call that urban (at least until it sunk...).
A smaller floating urban environment would qualify as both types in my eyes.
