The Dolphins of Pern , byAnne McCaffery, DelRey, NY. 1994

Alemi saw the mast splinter and break, felt Readis's tightened grip, and then abruptly they were upended as waves slammed into the starboard side and decanted them into the roiling sea. His grip on Readis tightened; over the scream of the storm he heard the boy's frightened cry.
  Alemi flailed his free arm, trying to reach the surface again, and his hand came hard against something. The upturned skiff? he clutched at the roundness that was not wooden, but firm and fleshed.
  Shipfish! The hard edge of a dorsal fin filled his hand, and his body was swung against a long, sleek shape just as another wave crashed over him. "Shipfish, Readis!" he shouted above the tumult of the storm winds. "Hang on!"
  His savior raised its head and, water shooting up out of its blowhole, clearly said, "Not fish! Mam'l. Doll-fin!" - back cover of dust jacket.
