Control Ship with Player on it

I have been trying to figure out how to get my third person character on a ship, walk to ship controls, take over ship controls and sail away with the character on it.

I can get him on the ship and I understand the posses node but when I posses the ship I sail away and leave my character behind. I have tried the attach to node but it seems to use the character controls and I simply run around with the ship under me. I also attached it to a socket but that was just silly.

I also wanted to unposses and walk on the ship while it was floating around.
I am very new and working with blueprints. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
