What is really neat in this photo is that you have captured a vanishing point. I'd exploit that. You clearly have fore, mid, and background elements to this photo. The fore being the boats, mid being the water and island on the left, and back being the mountain range in the back.
Pull down the contrast to darken the sky (you could do a multiply of the same image. Then add a ND gradient for the mask.
Add contrast to the boats with curves and reverse the same mask.
Finally, crop it horizontally to bring out the sense of depth in the photo.
Something like that.
You could also try a BW conversion through a monochrome channel mix, or even a duotone version.
