In this context I would translate "daba de lleno" as: "...shone/was shining full over/on the..."

De lleno = completamente.

La luz brillaba completamente sobre el costado del barco. (Espumoso subraya que puede verse la espuma del mar por el movimiento del barco)

Creo que no hay mucho lugar para la interpretación poética, a pesar de que la idea inmediata de la luz de la luna sobre el costado de un barco en altamar sea un cliché "romántico".
Me parece que una traducción tendría que conservar lo más posible de la versión original, quizás usando "completamente" para "de lleno" y un equivalente de "con espuma" para "espumoso".
