How to Steal Boats in GTA

Last Updated: October 19, 2021

wikiHow is a “wiki,” similar to Wikipedia, which means that many of our articles are co-written by multiple authors. To create this article, volunteer authors worked to edit and improve it over time. This article has been viewed 39,442 times. Learn more...

Starting from Grand Theft Auto 3 up to the present version of the game, boats get you from one island to another very quickly. You don’t have to run through curves and turns, or across traffic; you can simply just cut your way through the water on to your next destination. Boats are pretty convenient, but unlike cars, these vehicles can only be seen and used on rivers or seas. Stealing a boat too is pretty difficult, especially when you’re trying to get one that’s moving.

Stealing Docked Boats

Stealing Moving Boats

• Keep in mind though that only main characters from GTA San Andreas and later versions of the game can swim (GTA 4, GTA 4: Episodes of Liberty City, and GTA 5), limiting this method to these versions of GTA. If you’re playing GTA versions prior to San Andreas, your character will drown once you jump into the water.

• 6 Lose the cops. Cops will chase after you if you stole a boat while an officer is around. To lose the police, look at the mini map on the lower left corner of the screen to check the range of the police, marked by a large flashing circle, that’s chasing you. Just sail straight out of their range, and they should give up on chasing you, making the boat yours.

GTA Online Yacht Missions And Payouts

GTA Online offers a wide variety of mission chains and quests, providing players with the opportunity to earn substantial rewards. Among these missions are the Yacht missions, which are part of the "A Superyacht Life series" and become available after purchasing a Yacht. 

To assist you in completing these missions and obtaining the associated rewards, we have provided a comprehensive breakdown below. We will outline the specifics of each Yacht mission, explain the payout structure, and reveal the rewards you can expect upon completion.

GTA Online - All Yacht Missions

As part of the Los Santos Summer Special update in Grand Theft Auto Online, players can engage in a series of six missions called " A Superyacht Life. " These missions are assigned by Brendan Darcy, the captain of the player's Galaxy Super Yacht, and can be played by a group of 1 to 4 players.

Below are the descriptions of all six of these Yacht missions in GTA Online:

Mission 1: Overboard

Captain Darcy alerts the player that the yacht's jetskis and important documents, which establish both the Captain and the player as permanent residents of international waters, have been stolen. The player is instructed to proceed to the Vespucci Canals, where the joyriders were last spotted. Eliminating the thieves in this area can be challenging, but it offers decent cover and strategic shooting positions.

The Captain reveals that the culprits are members of the Puerto Del Sol yacht club, prompting the player to seek revenge. The next objective is to head to the yacht club and sink the 10 boats docked there. Time is of the essence, as a boat may attempt to escape. Sink them all, and the mission will be completed.

Mission 2: Salvage

Brendan Darcy informs the player about a distress call from a sunken supply ship nearby. They are directed to a dredge barge to collect the sunken cargo around the wrecked Olifantus ship. 

After retrieving the cargo, the player returns to find the yacht invaded by the Kkangpae. They eliminate the hijackers and receive a call from Brendan, who reveals he and the bartender have been taken hostage. The player rescues them while fending off attackers and returns to the yacht.

Mission 3: All Hands

Brendan alerts the player about a problematic business deal at the Pacific Country Club. They must steal firefighting planes from LSIA to extinguish cars set on fire by club members. Guards at the airport trigger a 2-star wanted level until the Tula is acquired.

After refueling in the air and receiving a threatening text message, the player heads to the country club. They extinguish burning vehicles while fending off Kkangpae attacks. There's a 5-minute time limit for each task. Brendan mentions additional fires at the Pipeline Inn. Returning the Tula to the yacht concludes the mission. Failing restarts at the LSIA hangar without enemies.

Mission 4: Icebreaker

Brendan Darcy devises a revenge plan against the Kkangpae for kidnapping him. The player destroys air-conditioning units at the Fridgit Cold Storage warehouse and steals the prepared product. 

The player must deliver the goods while fending off Kkangpae attacks. The mission ends when the player reaches the buyer in an alley behind the Hedera Hotel in Del Perro.

Mission 5: Bon Voyage

The mission starts with a stormy setting as the yacht's systems fail. Enemies attack from different directions, including onboard, in Dinghies, and from Buzzards. Brendan reveals that the attackers are the Kkangpae, the gang that previously kidnapped him. 

The player defends the yacht through three waves of enemies. Brendan restores power and requests the player to eliminate remaining foes on foot and in boats. The mission ends after completing this task.

Mission 5: D-Day

Brendan informs the player about the boss of a money laundering outfit staying on a heavily defended yacht. He suggests using a Kraken submersible to sneak past their defenses. The sub is located near a barge, close to the rival yacht's defensive zone patrolled by Dinghies.

While operating the sub, the player must stay low to avoid detection and navigate through underwater mines. A detection meter shows the player's visibility to the yacht's defenses, while a depth meter indicates their underwater level. Staying at a safe depth of around 275-350ft is crucial. The surrounding area is patrolled by boats, so the player must remain submerged.

Approaching the yacht's vicinity, the player resurfaces and boards the ship, engaging multiple enemies onboard. After eliminating all enemies, the boss tries to escape in a helicopter. The player must give chase, with the helicopter being escorted by two others. Dinghies also join the pursuit. The escort helicopters have gunners armed with RPGs. The target helicopter's health is displayed on-screen. Once the helicopter is destroyed and the boss is killed, Brendan suggests collecting the bounty on the boss's head, concluding the mission.

GTA Online - Yacht Missions Payouts

Currently, we don't have an exact number for the payout of each of these missions, since they depend on other factors such as the rank you play at and the amount of time the mission takes. However, we can say that the payout will be around the $38,000 mark (adjusting for the 25% increase thanks to the recent update), as after they are all complete, players will earn the Captain's Outfit as a souvenir.

So there you have it, a complete breakdown of all the Yacht missions on GTA Online as well as the Payouts you'll receive for completing them. Be sure to check back here soon, as we'll update this listing with the most relevant information as it's made available.

GTA V Last Mission: Endings

Grand Theft Auto V has three possible endings that you can choose from, each with significantly different outcomes for the GTA 5 last mission.

It has been confirmed that Ending C (Deathwish) is the canon ending of GTA V, and it's recommended to choose it if you don't want to lose access to one of the main characters.

70 . Something Sensible (Ending A)

Franklin has to make a choice.

WARNING: If you pick this ending, you will permanently lose access to Trevor from this point forward.

70 . The Time's Come (Ending B)

WARNING: If you pick this ending, you will permanently lose access to Michael from this point forward.

70 . The Third Way (Ending C)

Michael, Franklin, and Trevor take down all their enemies: ambush FIB agents and Merryweather mercenaries at the foundry in Murrieta Heights, then target Wei Cheng, Stretch, Steve Haines and Devin Weston.

Lester's Assassinations (Side Missions)

The following are the  GTA V's Assassination Missions given by Lester Crest to Franklin. Only the first (" The Hotel Assassination ") is required for story progression, which is why it's also listed as a main story mission above.

The other four Assassinations are optional, and it's strongly advised to play them after finishing the main storyline , in order to make the most profit out of the stock market investment.

1. The Hotel Assassination

2. The Multi Target Assassination

Lester tasks Franklin to take down four corrupt jurors that are planning to throw a class-action lawsuit against Redwood Cigarettes.

3. The Vice Assassination

Franklin must find and kill Jackson Skinner, the head of product development at Facade. 

4. The Bus Assassination

Lester asks Franklin to assassinate a man called Isaac Penny, who is about to take a controlling share in the Vapid Motor Company. 

5. The Construction Assassination

In the last Assassination, Lester tells Franklin to take down Enzo Bonelli, a mafia member turned real estate developer. 

Note:  Even though  Lester's Assassination Missions  are optional (not required for story progression), they're still counted under the main "Missions" checklist, and they're still needed for 100% completion of the game.

How many missions are in GTA 5?

Despite the GTA V in-game statistics stating that the game has 69 missions , there are actually many more missions available, with branching paths and three possible endings. 

There are actually 83 available story missions in total in GTA 5, which you can find all listed on this page. However, due to the branching nature of Heist approaches, only  74 missions  are played in a single playthrough, while the others can be accessed by selecting different paths.

So why does the game's checklist show "only" 69 missions instead of 74? Well, Rockstar has decided to not include the  "Fire Truck" and "BZ Gas Grenades" heist setups in their listing, and they also don't count the 3 optional "Family Missions" that Micheal can do. This is probably so they could make a reference to the "69" number on purpose, in typical Rockstar fashion.

What do Mission Icon Colors mean in GTA 5?

Since GTA V features three playable protagonists, the game indicates with unique colors on the map the missions that can be started by the different characters:

• A blue icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Michael
• A green icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Franklin
• An orange icon on the map icon shows missions that can be started by Trevor
• If you see a question mark on the map, it's a Strangers & Freaks  side mission.

You can also see the number of missions currently available for each protagonist when switching between them via the Character Wheel.

How to Replay Missions in GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto V features mission scoring, with specific objectives (such as time, damage, accuracy, etc.) required to achieve the  Gold Medal in a mission.

Just completing a mission will give you a Bronze Medal by default. You earn a Silver Medal by meeting at least one objective, but you must complete 100% of the objectives to earn a Gold Medal.

To improve your score, you can replay the missions you already completed, by accessing the Pause Menu and going to the "Game" tab.

It's important to note that you can complete each Gold Medal requirement in multiple playthroughs of the mission - you don't need to obtain them all in one single playthrough.

Earning at least 70 Gold Medals between Missions and Strangers & Freaks is required for the  "Solid Gold, Baby!" Achievement / Trophy .

How to Play All Endings in GTA 5

If you would like to play all three endings in Grand Theft Auto V in a single playthrough, and experience what each ending has to offer, the game allows you to do so.

After completing one of the endings, you will find the ability to play the two other endings by accessing the Pause Menu, going to "Game" > Replay Mission", and scrolling all the way to the bottom.

However, this won't change the original choice you made during the course of the playthrough.

If you're unsure on what ending to choose, it's advised to first  make a save in a separate slot after completing "The Big Score" mission. At this point, you are free to experiment with choosing and playing any of the three endings, knowing that you always have a previously saved game that you can return to choose a different ending.

Unless you want to lose access to Michael or Trevor after the end of the story, we strongly recommend choosing  Ending C (Deathwish) , as that's also been confirmed to be the canon ending of the game.

More GTA 5 Side Missions

In addition to the main GTA 5 Story Mode, GTA V also features other optional side missions and activities that can be played.

These include Strangers & Freaks missions , which involve interesting characters that Michael, Franklin, or Trevor can encounter outside the main story.

There are also many  Hobbies & Pastimes and Random Events that you can take part in if you want to fully complete the game.

GTA Online: 5 Best Boats & How Much They Cost

Don't pass up boats in GTA Online; these underrated vehicles can be surprisingly useful.

With GTA Online being newly released on the Xbox Series X/ S and the PS5 , it's a good time for players to get into the game and for older players to jump back. Not only does it look great , but there have also been quality-of-life improvements like faster loading times. Whether new or old, those who play GTA Online will spend a large amount of time looking for new vehicles regardless, which are the things that help players stand out the most. Since there's a diverse range to choose from, players have options.

RELATED: GTA Online: How to Make Money Fast

One type of vehicles that gets overlooked is the boats. Players spend most of their time on land or in the air, but boats offer some entertaining gameplay elements. Because boats aren't as popular and don't have much buzz as the others do, this list should help players have an idea of the best boats to purchase, and whether they're worth the money.

5 Lampadati Toro: $1,750,000

One thing that makes GTA Online one of the best Grand Theft Auto games is how diverse each vehicle class is. They force players to adapt, which in the long run makes gameplay much more fun. One such vehicle is the Lampadati Toro, which is a great boat for players to get once they start making tons of money because of that price tag. While handling is the main issue, players will have no problem speeding away quickly, and will get faster over time.

What's more, handling shouldn't be an issue, because in the water, players have wider spaces to get around. While in a chase, the Lampadati Toro becomes an issue for the ones doing the chasing. And because of the high speed and acceleration, players will be able to escape much faster even with poor handling. It can't be customized, but it will serve players well until they can find a better boat.

4 Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy: $1,850,000

Players owning and driving this dinghy will have a pretty fun time. Not only is it a balanced boat, but it comes equipped with a machine gun, which makes for fun and exciting moments. However, like most boats not just on this list but in all of GTA Online, players will notice the poor handling. Again, though, this doesn't really impact gameplay a lot, because of how wide open the bodies of water are in Los Santos.

RELATED: Trevor’s Most Memorable Quotes In GTA 5, Ranked

On the other hand, players will be able to go through the narrow streams because of how small the dinghy is. If players maintain speed, they should be able to get through it without taking damage. So it does have the full package for players who don't want to go all out with the bells and whistles, and since it's on the lower end of the expensive items in GTA Online, players won't regret dishing out that much money. It will be worth the price quickly, and will probably help make players more money in the long run, because it can be used for the many high leveled heists.

3 Shitzu Longfin: $2,125,000

In terms of handling, the Shitzu Longfin is one of the best boats. Since it's a wide-body boat, players may lose their grip at high speeds; however, because of the relatively high handling players will have a little more control. Thanks to the speed, players will be flying across the larger bodies of water throughout Los Santos. Since it can reach speeds of just under 200 km/h, players will be more enticed to drop over two million.

The Shitzu Longfin has the bang for its buck factor. That price tag comes with high performance and allows players to stand out more when they own this boat. It's probably one of the better vehicles throughout GTA Online — and not just when it comes to boats.

2 RUNE Kosatka Submarine: $2,200,000

Not only is this one of the best boats in GTA Online, but it's also one of the best vehicles in the game and for good reason. Players can use it for attacking, or just to get out of harm's way. This submarine can do wonders. It has low speed and acceleration, but that's not what it's used for; rather, it's meant for underwater operations. Additionally, while its performance can't be upgraded further like most boats in GTA Online, players can still upgrade the weaponry, and add elements like homing missiles and a sonar.

RELATED: The Hardest Trophies From GTA V (& The Easiest)

Players won't be using this submarine to get away, but rather hide or sneak around in, so it offers good stats for that. While the stats feel like it should limit this submarine, players have found that it can be used for a wide variety of strategies. For example, certain heists that take place on the water can be completed better with a submarine.

1 Kurts 31 Patrol Boat: $2,955,000

Some boats are well-balanced, but don't perform well because of the balance, which will dampen gameplay, However, the Kurts 31 Patrol Boat is a good example of a balanced, high-performance vehicle. The Kurts 31 Patrol Boat has it all: good handling, very good acceleration, and top speed. While its main use is for chasing and zipping, on the water it can be used for other things as well.

With all those high-performance stats, players won't have any issues while driving this boat. Its price tag is steep, but makes sense considering how useful it is. If players already have any of the super expensive vehicles , this boat will complement that collection. Usually, higher-priced vehicles come with high performance. Not only will players be more successful in GTA Online with better vehicles, they get the bragging rights along with it.

Grand Theft Auto Online is now available on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC.

The Best Yacht To Buy In GTA Online

There is a small fleet of yachts to buy in GTA Online but one is more worth your money than the others.

By Joey Carr on July 5, 2023 at 12:02PM PDT

There is perhaps not a clearer sign of wealth in GTA Online than owning a yacht. As in real life, a yacht is the ultimate flex of luxury in the world of Los Santos. When Rockstar Games introduced the Galaxy Super Yacht fleet, they released three different yachts for players to purchase. All three of these gigantic boats are well worth your hard-earned GTA cash, as they all boast amenities as far as the eye can see. The main differences in the yachts lie in their price and how many features they have. However, as you'll see, those features don't drift too far apart from yacht to yacht.

Since the yachts start at the sky-high price of $6 million, players have asked if going for the most expensive yacht is actually worth it or if they can get by with the least expensive. It's a similar question that players have asked in regards to cars, jets, and any other property available in the online world of Los Santos. In this guide, we'll be going over all three of the yachts in GTA Online and determining which is the best to buy based on all of the factors.

Now Playing: Everything We Want in Grand Theft Auto 6

Kicking us off is The Orion, the least expensive yacht in GTA Online. Of course, the term "least expensive" is used lightly here, as The Orion still costs a whopping $6 million in GTA cash. The Orion, and the other two yachts, are equipped with a 210-foot body and the same basic outside appearance as the two more expensive Galaxy Super Yachts in the game. There's a sun deck on top for sunbathing or throwing parties but no hot tub, unfortunately. Also on the exterior is one single helipad and storage for two vehicles, the Shitzu Tropic and Speedophile Seashark jetski. On the interior, The Orion is equipped with three luxurious guest rooms. Like the rest of the yachts, you can't actually drive The Orion. What you can do is pay your captain to park it somewhere and have it ready for you when you want to come aboard at a certain location. You can also complete six A Superyacht Life missions to reduce your overall operating costs and make some money with your yacht in the process.

The one aspect of The Orion that's truly lacking is that it doesn't spawn with a helicopter and only has one helipad. While not a huge problem, the other two yachts on this list have these aspects over The Orion. If you're in the market for a yacht and can spend $6 million, then you can likely also spend another million for the next yacht on this list. This could make The Orion obsolete unless you're truly strapped for cash.

For one million more than The Orion ($7 million), you can own The Pisces. Compared to The Orion, The Pisces spawns with a helicopter and has two helipads, a hot tub, and space for five vehicles. Those vehicles are the Buckingham Swift (helicopter), Pegassi Speeder, Nagasaki Dinghy, and two Speedophile Seashark jetskis. Aside from the Speeder, the yacht will spawn with all of the aforementioned vehicles, letting you and some friends get to shore or to another location with ease. Having the extra helipad is also nice to either have a friend land on the yacht or to keep a spare in case something happens to your first.

$7 million is considered the sweet spot for the line of Galaxy Super Yachts. You'll see why when we go over the last yacht on this list.

The Aquarius

The big daddy of them all, the Aquarius is the last and most expensive yacht on this list. The final Galaxy Super Yacht of the fleet costs an eye-gouging $8 million. This makes it the most expensive piece of property you can buy in GTA Online by a country mile. The Aquarius has everything The Pisces has, including the two helipads and hot tub, but has room for seven vehicles instead of five. However, those two extra vehicles are two additional Seashark jetskis, which is really only good for if you have half a dozen friends on your yacht at the same time.

The main point of The Aquarius in GTA Online is to flex on other players. Its price point is relatively unwarranted due to the lack of amenities compared to The Pisces. However, if you're a collector of the most luxurious items in Los Santos, The Aquarius needs to be your next purchase.

The verdict

As you might have expected from the descriptions of each yacht, The Pisces is what we consider to be the best Galaxy Super Yacht in GTA Online. It features a great price point and is a huge step up from The Orion at one million dollars more. The Aquarius simply doesn't offer enough compared to The Pisces to warrant it being the best bang for your buck. Unless you truly want to show off your wealth, going with The Pisces is the best option in GTA Online.
