cigar boat
It looks like "charuto" is a misnomer. I would suggest translating it as "cigar boat" based on this finding:
"When it comes to Go-Fast BOATS… Many people say CIGAR Boats. While that is half right… they mean to say Cigarette boat. Here’s is today’s CIGAR BOAT."

PS: In other words, I suggest maintaining the misnomer in English translation for the sake of precision.

Indeed, I found a few references of 'barco cigarro" online, including this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYk9WrSXqC8 Hence:
barco cigarro: cigarette boat
charuto: cigar boat
They are the same of course, except that "charuto" is a misnomer.

: Acho que é mais por aí mesmo. Ele não tem motor. Portanto, não pode ser um cigar ou cigarette boat. Estava em dúvida entre caiaque e canoa, mas, como parece ser algo não tão moderno, canoa talvez seja a melhor opção.

Definition is from 1913. Perhaps 'charuto' in this sense would be called something else today in the Portuguese(s) of 2017.
Since there is a "list of types of small boat" why not provide it? Obviously it provides needed context.
I think I'd call that a Kayak. Then again, not a boat person.
