Which is the best word for describing a ship in an informal context?
The ship is small but...

Hi Ivan,
Perhaps you should think about the phrasing of the sentence.
Naturally, a small ship would be manoeuvrable, agile, nimble and quick.
Therefore; 'The ship is small and nimble/agile/quick' would be better, rather than using 'but'.
All of the describing words you chose are appropriate to describe the ship, but I would consider not using 'quick', and using fast instead.
I hope this helps,
Tom
