It's not a jump cut, just a standard cut!
Ahem...edit nerd alert.
I do think it looks a lot better as intended. The shot was clearly composed so you can see the boat encroach upon the New York skyline as part of an establishing shot rather than just see the boat at the start of the cut. Obviously doesn't make a great deal of difference in the grand scheme of things but on the BU version this shot is an establishing shot, on the Arrow one it isn't. May not be a big deal to some in terms of narrative but it is in terms of shot composition.
