Logic problem

Frodo, Sam, and Gollum are on the side of a river and there’s a 2-person boat that can carry them to the other side. However, there’s a problem. If Frodo and Gollum are alone on one side, Gollum might try to steal the ring. If Sam and Gollum are alone together on one side, Sam might try to kill Gollum. In addition, Sam is not okay with Frodo being in the boat alone. Is there a way to get the trio safely across without any problem? Answer below.

Okay I can’t stop laughing because in the tags there are two camps of people:

1) Well hobbits are small and Gollum is emaciated and the boat is probably a man-sized boat so everyone can just get in and cross together.

2) Sam and Frodo get in the boat and keelhaul Gollum via the elven rope
