Because a boat was not obvious. Why put the Horcrux on an island if any competent witch or wizard could just fly over on a broom?
There must, therefore, be a curse on flying within the cavern, as A bakker suggested in the comments. A boat can be hidden, both magically and under the water, and considering the dangerous wraiths visible in the water, only a cautious and knowledgeable person such as Dumbledore would find and use it.
Left to his own devices, Harry would probably have died in the cavern. Voldemort's sense of style should also be considered. He had a flair for the dramatic. Without this flair, the Horcrux could be concealed in a shed, a hollow tree, or a chimney.
Instead, it's a sea cave on a wave-tossed shore, guarded by ghosts and requiring those who enter to pass a series of magical tests that are reminiscent of the challenges faced in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It's not entirely clear that Voldemort could fly when he hid the Horcrux. The implication from Deathly Hallows is that Voldemort's power of flight is a relatively new development, and a shocking one at that.
Remus, he can--". Voldemort-- he can fly-- went straight for them. Chapter 6: The Fallen Warrior. Broomless or carpetless, etc. The Order was being pretty reliably informed by Snape at both heights of Voldemort's power, so their shock at this ability suggests even he didn't know.
Would Voldemort really keep the knowledge that he had made a major advancement in magic in his back pocket for decades, even with it's obvious intimidation factor? I would suspect not. But of course, even supposing he could fly at the time, questions of practicality largely go out the window when talking about Voldemort and his Horcruxes. I mean, he really shouldn't have hidden part of his soul in his mom's house either, or in a castle controlled by his archfoe.
A bunch of comments and answers have focused on the fact that Voldemort might not have had flying capabilities when setting up the cave. While that is a possibility, it seems to miss an important point. Even at a time when we know Voldemort had flying capabilities he still used the boat to cross the lake.
From Chapter Thirty of Deathly Hallows :. He had nearly reached the island where the stone basin stood. Here Voldemort used the boat despite the urgency at hand. His method of flying is presumably quite fast, as he was able to keep up with people flying on broomsticks.
That he chose to use the boat even in this situation would seem to indicate That flying is simply not an option. This presumably was by design. Indeed, there is no mention of Voldemort being able to fly prior to the seventh book and all indications prior to that are to the contrary, that human flight is not possible. Rowling, J. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Pottermore Publishing. In addition, Voldemort wanted to keep the ones capable of discovering his secrets to that degree under control, by killing them or keeping them busy time enough for Voldemort to reach them.
Therefore, Voldemort wanted that whoever reached that cave could also reach the island, because then he would drink the potion and be incapacitated, instead of instantly attacked by the inferi.
Do not forget that Lord Voldemort believes that he alone knows about his Horcruxes. Thus, Voldemort left the boat to allow other people and maybe himself to reach the island, in order to trap them there, allowing him to interrogate him if he wanted, or in order to kill a dangerous competitor that might know his most valued secret, the Horcruxes.
Didn't an Inferius leap out of the water to block Harry's summoning charm when Dumbledore asked Harry to go ahead? By that logic, the Inferi would have leapt out of the water and grabbed whoever attempted to fly over the water. The whole point of the Horcrux is that someone should be able to find it to resurrect Voldemort.
So in case the Horcrux needed to be invoked and fetched for his resurrection somebody would have to fetch the Horcrux on his command. Flying was out of question because of the Inferi so he put a concealed boat for his followers to fetch the Horcrux at his direction. The cave was very well concealed and protected by powerful magic. Surely whoever was capable of such defensive curses took into account that a broom could have been used and Dumbledore knew attempting such was pointless.
Also Voldemort was narcissistic and egoistic. He wanted to visit the Horcrux whenever he wished. To Voldemort the idea of not being able to see something that was a part of him was unacceptable. Further to the other answers, Voldemort needed a second person to come with him to drain the potion at the centre of the lake.
Even if he could fly to the centre of the lake a bit if , it's even less clear that he could or would fly another person to the centre as well. It seems unlikely he'd touch a house elf or a lowly person to bring them across. Also he probably saw flying on broomsticks as a likely way to get from the sea cliff to the cave for some would be attackers.
Broomsticks should be assumed to be available so he's very likely to have cursed an approach to the centre of the lake by flying. Sign up to join this community. Finding a cryptic note inside from an " R. Upon learning that Harry was hunting his Horcruxes, having taken Hufflepuff's Cup from the Lestrange Vault , Voldemort immediately went to check the other ones for their safety and redouble their security.
After finding Marvolo Gaunt's Ring gone from the Gaunt Shack , he immediately arrived at the cave and found the locket also gone, much to his murderous fury. Voldemort later decided to use this cave as a location for one of his Horcruxes Salazar Slytherin 's Locket. It was a very difficult place to find and even Dumbledore had to make a lot of research about Voldemort's past.
Upon storing the locket in the cave, Voldemort set up a large number of complex enchantments, designed to keep others out but still allow him access to the Horcrux, should he desire to visit or remove it. As acknowledged by Dumbledore himself, the defences that Voldemort had set up within were well-designed in that one person alone could not enter and leave it without assistance.
He placed a spell on the cave so that it was impossible to Apparate inside it [2] though ineffective against house-elf magic , as Voldemort underestimated them. A smaller entrance was made: a door which required a blood sacrifice, a weakness payment , to open. According to Dumbledore , this was due to a common misconception by Voldemort that physical pain would weaken a person entering the chamber. An Inferi -infested lake separated the entrance of the cave from the Horcrux.
Any attempt to use a Summoning Charm to get the Horcrux would cause one or more Inferi to leap out of the water to block the spell's effect. If the water is disturbed, the Inferi would emerge and attempt to drag the intruder into the water to drown. The Inferi are frightened off by fire. The darkness within the cave was noted to be denser than normal, and the light created from a Wand-Lighting Charm would illuminate less than expected. The Horcrux was placed on an island in the middle of the lake.
To get there, one had to find an invisible boat anchored to the cavern wall. The boat was enchanted so that only one wizard of age could be transported in it. This once again shows Voldemort's habit of underestimating his opponents, because he did not expect any underage wizard would attempt such feats.
