    Zero

    Explanation:

    Unless there's external force outside the person-boat system, which in this case there's not. According to Newton's first law, this yields a zero change in velocity of the system. If the system is at rest before, its velocity and position stay unchanged. So the center of mass of the person-boat system does not move.
