There are three distinct concepts:

• A ship is launched. At this point the ship is named and the hull enters the water, however the ship is not yet complete, a great deal of work remains.


• A ship is commissioned. This usually applies to Naval vessels. Prior to this, the hull is fitted out and sea trials are carried out. When the ship is commissioned, it is designated ready for service and the crew formally join the ship.


• The ship sets off on its first voyage, the maiden voyage
  

Yesterday, the Elisa set sail on her maiden voyage, her first port of call will be Calcutta.

  Set sail is still used though sails are no longer set in modern ships, alas. [just a remark, not a criticism. The usage is right.]

Launched is the only one of the given choices that sounds at all fluent. But it doesn't imply this is the boat's first voyage. You launch your boat every time you move it from land to water. For some boats, like small ones used for fishing on a lake or river, that could be every time you use the boat.

The most common idiom used to talk about a boat's first voyage is to call it the boat's maiden voyage.
