I think we should progressively load people on. 2 people go with Flitch to the cove and then 1 takes Flitch to the ship and returns while the second person goes back to the spot at the entrance to the sewers from the city to receive and escort through the sewers the next group. Meanwhile after a little time buffer, two others escort Yuleg and Vurna to the sewers entrance. Explain to Yuleg that the second boat is a backup plan, in case something goes wrong, so he'll be riding with Flitch. Meanwhile meanwhile, the last two go to retrieve Themolin. Repeat the retrieval escort rotation for Daffrid and fam, and then Sedothrum.
The last day, after the RP has left, we escort Kallade to the cove and tell her that, after we leave the docks, we'll come by and she can row out to us.
Also, we collect money at the cove, except Kallade which we can collect when she boards the ship.
The party was informed during the briefing that a ship, Rolanna’s Prayer, will arrive at Shard Cove at dawn and that the boat can accommodate up to five clients.
Let me know which five you wish to go out via Shard Cove and which ones you want to leave with you the following day.
How many people are coming with Daffrid?
Four total: Daffrid, her husband, and two children.
(Five, if you want the stone giant to leave with them!)
That might have come out after this scenario was written.
Yes, this scenario was published before any Vehicle rules were and I have it on good authority that those rules were not available to the author at the time the scenario was written.
What the scenario does do is provide are
most of the stats for the barrel raft.
Turns out, those barrels (and the party's craftsmanship) is superior to those used in the typical raft as the stats are more akin to those of a rowboat in Hardness and Hit Points, so I chose to apply the Piloting checks, AC, and Speed of the rowboat to the barrel raft used by the party.
I think the Raft was moved 30 feet forward?
Applying the rowboat speed, the vehicle moved 20 feet with a successful check. Unless I missed it, the Vehicle rules do not provide any extra benefit for a critical success.
Or, maybe I’m doing it wrong rolling three check - am I supposed to instead choose a number of actions to represent my “row” then roll a single check?
I am not an expert on the Vehicles rules. Outside of this scenario, I don't recall having ever been in a PF2e game where they have been used. However, it is my understanding that rolling three checks is not "wrong" (although it may not be not be the optimal for action economy as you may be able to cover the same distance with fewer actions and, thus, allow the Pilot to take additional actions--like Interact to draw a weapon or a Strike--during the turn).
A player may wish to take three actions to make three separate checks if the Pilot wants to avoid the reckless trait being added to the actions and, thus, put the vehicle at risk of becoming uncontrolled.

Drive is a Variable-Action activity.
I am wondering if it may only be taken once per turn.
Because it seems otherwise that taking multiple single-action Drive actions is far superior than ever risking two- or three- actions Drives.
Know what I mean?
Drive is a Variable-Action activity.
I am wondering if it may only be taken once per turn.
Your wonderance was correct. Upon re-reading the Vehicle Rules, I see that I had missed this statement under the "Piloting a Vehicle" heading: "A vehicle can take part in only 1 move action each round, even if multiple creatures Take Control as pilots on the same round."
Given the current state of the raft, I do not foresee the rules coming further into play. Further, given the current state of the fight, I do not think a retcon is necessary. However, I am willing to revisit this decision should the rules errors appear to have contributed to the death of a PC, to loss of a major consumable, to a reduction in Treasure Bundles, or to a failure to complete one of the scenario's success conditions.

In the beginning I picked up the ladder figurine, can I use that to help with finding shards? Or to help repair the boat?
Edit: I also bought 10 air bladders if they might be able to assist with buoyancy.
Under the circumstances, I believe the raft is presently beyond repair. However, no one is in danger of drowning now that we are out of combat, the water is calm, and the potential threats are all stationary.
As for the ladder, I would treat it like a ten-foot pool, expanding the area the PC searches by 10 feet.

Does GM mean another Diplomacy check?
A check from any PC who has not yet attempted one yet. Each PC may attempt a Diplomacy check to Request that Themolin remain quiet or a Society check to provide an answer that includes enough facts to give Themolin some assurance as to his safety around the Emerald Guard.
