Yes, this is permitted.
Best wishes.

See Aruch HaShulchan 355:11. Although it is not permitted to throw something overboard (this is transferring from a reshus hayachid to a karmelis), it is permitted to place something on the walls of the boat, and even if it falls in the sea there is no prohibition involved.
