They rub the cigarettes until sparkles form (pretty silly idea).

Fortunately, although they have no matches, they each have a butane lighter.

Or, perhaps the woman not mentioned, who is in the boat with them, has matches.

Or could they light the cigarettes by 'striking' the flag?

Maybe it is moot because this is a non-smoking cruise.

Row/sail/motor the boat back to harbor for some matches.

Or they could catch a starfish or a sunfish and light them on that.

Or, the one wearing glasses could fashion a crude magnifying glass, and by concentrating the rays of the sun, light the cigarettes.

Who cares about the cigarettes? They already had cigars going when they got in the boat.

If they are 3 men in a boat, one of them is a candlestick maker- they can use one of his candles.

Each of them could spontaneously combust.

One of the men could sell his soul to the Devil, and when he bursts into flame, the other two can light their cigarettes on him.

The guy throws one cigaret into the sea.
Now the boat got a little lighter.
Then he uses the lighter to lite his cigaret.

Laura, excellent answer. I figured the right answer had something to do with that fourth cigarette. But assuming these guys are all smokers, why waste a good cigarette? The two big guys can throw the littlest guy overboard, making the boat lighter, and have TWO cigarettes each.

Well Equus me!
No seriously, you're right if cigarettes were
scarce, and if you can't get by without them,
your idea would be defendable. Problem is
who gets thrown over?

The two largest would toss over the smallest and easiest to overpower. Of course, the largest could then overpower the second-smallest and then he'd have all four cigarettes to himself.
