Assuming a situation similar to this, where the moon causes slower but massive tides that slowly encircle the globe. Would the poles be constantly underwater or not underwater (like A or B below)?:
Or would it depend on the moon?
Main question: Would a massive tide be closer to A or B or C(something else)?

On a serious note, carve off the shipbuilding question to its own, please. I got nothing for the tides, only the ship and I feel bad to just answer one of the 2 questions (both good!) that you pose here.

You cannot have neither A or B. Of the two, B is the more implausible: the water is being pulled in 3 directions (up, right and down) by a single moon.
About A, I would expect the two spheres (solid and liquid) to share the same rotation axis, and thus a non zero tidal height also on the side opposite to the moon, more or less like it happens on Earth.
The poles would practically experience constant low tides.
A situation like A or B would not be happening around one of the principal axis of inertia, and therefore could not happen spontaneously.
