Mastering Yachts in GTA Online – The Ultimate Guide

Are you a fan of Grand Theft Auto V and its online version? If so, you might want to consider investing in a luxury yacht! In this guide, we’ll go over everything you need to know about owning and mastering yachts in GTA Online.

Why Own a Yacht?

First things first, why should you own a yacht in GTA Online? There are several reasons to invest in this luxurious vessel. Firstly, depending on your budget, your yacht might come with a helicopter, which can be called for a small cost. It also comes with some watercraft, such as jet skis and power boats. Additionally, there’s a bedroom for you to spawn in, which comes in handy if you have businesses near the southwestern coast or you want quicker access to the Los Santos airport. Another excellent benefit of owning a yacht is that it comes with an anti-griefer defense system, which gives you a safe haven. It also provides access to exclusive missions, which are designed for beginners and can be done solo. And of course, owning a yacht is a great way to show off your wealth and success in the game.

Which Yacht Should You Choose?

In GTA Online, there are three types of yachts to choose from: The Orion, The Pisces, and The Aquarius. The Orion is the cheapest at 6 million, the Pisces costs 7 million, and the Aquarius is the most expensive at 8 million. The Pisces, in our opinion, is the best deal as it comes with better watercraft and a better helicopter than the Orion. However, if you are a fan of jet skis and don’t mind the extra cost, The Aquarius is the way to go. Once you have decided which yacht to buy, you can customize it with aesthetic upgrades such as gold fittings, lighting, and a paint job. You can also choose your own flag and name for the yacht.

How to Buy a Yacht in GTA Online

To buy a yacht in GTA Online, you need to open your phone, head to the internet, then to vehicles and transportation. Click the “Galaxy Super Yacht” banner, pick your yacht, and set your options. Then click “Buy Now,” and you will immediately receive a notification and a new contact. Once you get the notification, head back out to the free roam lobby to get another notification about your chopper (if your yacht comes with one).

What Can You Do With Your Yacht?

Besides having a helicopter, watercraft, and a bedroom, there are other things you can do with your yacht. For example, you can move the yacht around the coastline, though you can’t actually drive the yacht itself sadly. Additionally, you can call in your helicopter by going to contacts, toggling down to the captain, and requesting a helicopter. The yacht also comes with some defenses, but keep in mind that if someone swims to your yacht, the defense system won’t target them. Finally, you can start yacht missions, which can be a great way to earn money.

Yacht Missions

Yacht missions are missions that you can start once you have the yacht. There are six missions in total, and they can take between eight and twenty minutes each to complete. Additionally, the missions can typically pay between twenty and thirty thousand dollars each. However, keep in mind that it can take a while to break even, as you need to complete a minimum of 200 missions to break even with the cheapest yacht.

Owning a yacht in GTA Online can be a great way to show off your wealth and success in the game. However, keep in mind that it can be a long and expensive process to get your money back from the investment. With this guide, we hope you have a better understanding of what you can do with your yacht and how to own and master it in GTA Online. Happy gaming!

hi in this video we’re going through the luxury yacht in gta 5 online hi and welcome back my name’s dan and i’m an old grumpy gamer grand theft auto is a truly massive game between gta 5 and the concert updates from rockstar for gta online there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do join me then as we look at the luxury yachts in gta 5 online before we dive in if you’re new to the channel we do how-to guides news and giveaways so consider subscribing and ring the bell to stop today so first things first why on earth would you want a yacht well there’s a few core reasons the luxury heli so depending on your budget your new yacht might come with a helicopter which can be called for a small cost they have a very specific spawn point so they’re not quite as convenient as a sparrow or the oppressor but they’re still very nice some watercraft so that’s a few jet skis and a lovely power boat all of which are stationed off the back of the yacht an additional spawn point so unsurprisingly the yachts have a bedroom so you can spawn in and this can be handy if you have businesses near the southwestern coast or you want quicker access to the los santos airport anti-griefer measures so the yacht comes with a neat defense system that gives you a safe haven it has a couple of caveats but it’s a great way to deal with vehicle-based idiots access to exclusive missions the yacht gives you access to facility specific missions they’re designed for noobs and can be done completely solo and of course it’s a hell of a flex i mean it’s a nice facility to have and one of the most expensive things you can buy in the game so it is a cracking way to show off right we have three different options to choose from with the yachts starting with the orion at 6 million which is a 210 footer and it comes with a single helipad a small two-person canopy runabout and a jet ski the pisces at seven million dollars also a 210 footer but this one comes with two helipads a swift deluxe helicopter the big car speeder which is arguably the best boat in the game a dinghy and two jet skis and a hot tub and finally the aquarius at eight million even now this is the same size and birth as the other yachts 210 feet and has two helipads a hot tub and a dinghy the same as the pisces but comes with the super volito carbon and the toro as well as four jet skis so i’ve gone for the aquarius here but only because it was on super special if i was paying full price the pisces at seven million dollars is a better buy in my opinion the speedboat and their helicopter that come with the pisces are much better and really how often are you using four jet skis at the same damn time next up is the trim chrome is included but you can step it up with gold fittings for an additional seven hundred and fifty 000 lighting and color scheme next now again there is a free option but you can pick from the eight available which will set you back anywhere up to 600 grand sticking with the aesthetics the paint job is next starting with the white paint job and grey trim included and with 12 options ranging in price up to 650 000 and the final option is your flag and yacht name both of which are included in the original price so your minimum out of pocket on this one is six million which gets you the base model yet and nothing else if you have around 8 million to spend though the pisces with a few aesthetic upgrades would be the go right once you’ve decided on your model find somewhere safe open your phone and head to the internet then to vehicles and transport docts and click the galaxy super yacht banner pick your yacht and set your options click buy now and you will immediately receive a notification and a new contact close out of the internet by hitting the x up the top right and you’ll see a new notification with the yacht icon top left as well as a new message from the captain of your new vessel after that you can head back out to the free roam lobby and you’ll get yet another notification this time about your chopper if your yacht comes with one and i’ll cover how to call that in in a bit right so once you’re ready head over to your new yacht and take a look around and after you’ve had a bit of an explore head to the helmets where the captain hangs out and into the yellow marker to start yacht missions there are six missions in total and depending on your skill with a chopper a boat and a firearm they’ll take you between eight and twenty minutes each to complete and typically pay between twenty and thirty thousand dollars each which means an absolute minimum of 200 missions or 27 hours to break even if you go for the absolute cheapest option and get the maximum payout every time honestly though it’ll be more like 300 missions and 75 hours of grinding at maximum difficulty to get your money back so great flex rubbish investment you do get this sweet captain’s outfit though which is nice oh and there’s a few additional things you can do with the yacht which can come in handy too firstly if you’ve gone for the pisces or aquarius you can call in your helicopter and to do this open your phone and go to contacts toggle down to the captain and give him a call once he picks up select request helicopter which will set you back a thousand dollars now this is a little old school so the chopper will spawn in in one of a few dozen places around the map which was great back in the day but it is pretty inconvenient if you’re used to a sparrow or a mark 2 oppressor but anyway once it’s spawned in you’ll see a new chopper icon on the map head on over and you’re good to go while we’re on the captain’s phone you may have also noticed a few other options you can use this same menu to call in your premium boat which will again spawn somewhere up the coast oh and you can also request a personal vehicle or your next job too should you feel so inclined the next thing you can do is move the yacht around the coastline now again this is a little old school so you can’t actually drive the damn thing sadly it’s not the kasaka but you can have the yacht quick travel to different locations in the lobby or be it at a particularly ouchy cost of 25 grand a throw to do this head to the helm on your yacht and stand next to the captain to trigger a button prompt in the top left of the screen click the button noted and bring up the location menu then you can cycle through the locations until you’ve found the one you’re after your defenses and management is next now to access these you can be anywhere on the yacht or anywhere outside in the free roam map head to the interaction menu that’s m on your keyboard the double squares on your xbox or swipe for your playstation scroll down to services and galaxy super yacht from there there’s a few things you can do to skipping the defenses for a moment we can set up who has access to the boats jet skis and the chopper if you have one we can also change who can access the yacht itself and we can set the type of clothing that people wear in the hot tub if yacht has one finally let’s scroll back up to defenses when these are on and don’t forget to set your exclusions but when these are on any player in the free roam lobby in a vehicle will be targeted by the defense systems oh and this also takes care of guided missiles from the casa too but there’s a rub it’s only players in vehicles if someone swims to yacht they won’t be targeted and will be able to board the vessel so it’s great for mark to inject griefers but not so good for people who are just running around being a pain in the backside oh and one more thing with the defenses when they’re on no one can draw a weapon no one it’s great because you can’t have a griefer come in and shoot up the place but it also means you can’t draw and shoot anyone your own self and that’s about it thanks for watching check out the video at the top for another property and business guide or the one down the bottom for some more old grumpy gamer goodness stay safe wash your hands and we’ll see you in the next video you

A large super yacht in GTA Online

In Grand Theft Auto Online — and I guess, the real world — super yachts are the ultimate symbol of wealth. I mean, have you seen Below Deck ? It just sounds like yachting is what rich people do. The thing is, yachting isn’t worthless in the real world. Sure, it’s extravagant, but it has a function. It takes you places! Unfortunately for the richest of the rich in GTA Online, that’s not the case. Super yachts in GTA Online don’t actually do anything.

Players can’t move the yacht themselves; instead, they can pay a captain $25,000 to do it for them. (Actually this is starting to sound a lot more realistic for the super rich.) Essentially, it’s an item people buy simply to flaunt their wealth, because yachts start at $6 million and only go up from there.

(There are other pricey items in GTA Online, like high-end apartments. But these have a purpose: You can make money from them by doing heists.)

But last week, developer Rockstar Games announced a new summer update, the Los Santos Summer Special . It added a bunch of stuff, including new super yacht missions. Finally, someone gave GTA Online’s super rich something to do! Wealthy GTA Online players were excited — finally, they could profit off their extravagance.

At least I enjoyed clicking the buy button from gtaonline

The Los Santos Summer Special went live on Tuesday, adding since new co-op missions to GTA Online. The missions can be played solo or with a co-op group, and you do get money from doing them. But ... it’s not a lot of money. Not even enough to pay off 1/10 the cheapest super yacht. (Rockstar is running a double rewards special until Aug. 19, however, but it still won’t make a dent in the super yacht price.)

The good news is, you will unlock the Yacht Captain outfit by completing the six new missions. Now you can flaunt your wealth on land: I’m rich enough to afford a yacht! (Or, at least, you’re friends with someone who does.) Sure, the yacht still doesn’t really do anything. But you do have a lot of internet money!

Should You Buy a Yacht in GTA Online? A Friendly, In-Depth Guide

Hey friend! Have you ever dreamed of owning a massive luxury yacht in GTA Online? I totally get the appeal – cruising the high seas in ultimate style and comfort sounds amazing.

But yachts also cost millions of in-game dollars, so it‘s a huge investment. Are they actually worth buying for gameplay? Or are they an overpriced status symbol?

In this in-depth guide, I‘ll walk you through everything you need to know to decide if purchasing a yacht is the right move for you. I‘ve played GTA Online for years, so I can provide lots of insight from personal experience as well!

An Overview of GTA Online Yachts: Models, Prices, and Features

Let‘s start with the basics – here are the yacht models available and what they include:

  • The Orion – $6,000,000 base price, 82 feet long
  • The Pisces – $7,000,000 base price, 116 feet long
  • The Aquarius – $8,000,000 base price, 197 feet long

The base models range from 82 to 197 feet and come equipped with essential features like a helipad, jacuzzi, bedroom, and 10 car garage.

You can also customize them with optional upgrades:

  • Hot Tub – $150,000
  • Helicopter and Boat – $1,150,000
  • Weapon Locker – $370,000
  • Anti-Aircraft Defenses – $575,000

Once purchased, you can access your yacht instantly through the Interaction Menu. It acts as a mobile apartment and can be sailed freely around the ocean.

Pretty cool right? But that $6 to $8 million dollar price tag is no joke. Next I‘ll go over some of the best perks yacht ownership offers.

5 Awesome Things You Can Do with a GTA Online Yacht

From partying in luxury to defending against raiders, here are some of the best activities having a yacht unlocks:

1. Relax in Style – With a swanky interior including a bar, bedroom, and hot tub, you can kick back in serious comfort. Live the high life!

2. Seamless Transportation – Summon a helicopter or boat next to your yacht instantly for convenient travel across the map.

3. Mobile Business Center – Use the yacht‘s computer to run CEO and VIP jobs from anywhere in the ocean.

4. Piracy Prevention – Fend off attackers in this intense VIP job and earn GTA$ and RP for protecting your yacht.

5. Exclusive Missions – Special new missions open up like recovering celebrity sex tapes and stealing rare cars.

Owning a yacht lets you experience the luxury lifestyle to the fullest. But are the costs actually justified? Let‘s do a deep dive into the pros and cons.

The Pros and Cons of Buying a GTA Online Yacht

While owning a yacht seems glamorous, it has drawbacks too. Here I‘ll analyze the biggest potential benefits and downsides.

Pros of Buying a GTA Online Yacht

Flex Your Wealth – Yachts are the ultimate status symbol and show you‘ve truly made it!

Unique Gameplay – Special Piracy Prevention and Life missions open up.

Party Spot – Host crew events or hot tub parties on the spacious deck.

Prestige and Excitement – Feel like a VIP cruising the seas in luxury.

Safe Haven – Anchor safely away from the chaos of land.

Seamless Transportation – Instant helicopter and boat access.

Mobile Business Center – Launch CEO work remotely at sea.

Cons of Buying a GTA Online Yacht

Extremely Expensive – Multi-million dollar purchase and maintenance fees.

Limited Practical Use – Doesn‘t directly generate much money or RP.

Long-Term Investment – No way to resell at full price later.

Ongoing Costs – Paying daily for crew, fuel, cleaning, etc.

High Visibility – Easily spotted by griefers.

Customization Extra – Add-ons like hot tubs cost hundreds of thousands more.

As you can see, yachts clearly have some very tempting perks. But the costs and limited practical use are downsides to consider too.

How Much Does a Yacht Really Cost in GTA Online?

Let‘s break down the expenses in detail:

Base Purchase Price – $6 – $8 million

Customizations & Upgrades – Around $1 – $2 million

Daily Crew & Fuel Costs – Estimated at $1,000+ per GTA day

Insurance – 10% of base price if destroyed

Damage Repair – Around $25,000 for restoration at docks

Depreciation – Will slowly lose resale value over time

It‘s not just the huge initial purchase. You need to factor in pricy ongoing costs too.

To help put it in perspective, I crunched the numbers on estimated yearly costs for a high-end Aquarius yacht:

As you can see, the total first year cost could exceed $12 million! That‘s a ton of virtual cash.

Next, let‘s explore ways to try and offset some of those huge costs through strategic gameplay.

How to Potentially Make Money from Your GTA Yacht

Unfortunately yachts are notoriously bad as direct money makers in GTA Online. But by utilizing them strategically, you may be able to recover some costs over time:

Complete lucrative Yacht Life missions – These can pay $150k+ each upon completion.

Use it as a CEO office – Run profitable CEO jobs like Headhunter while sailing.

Host parties – Other players may pay you GTA$ to party on your yacht‘s deck and hot tub.

Provide transportation services – Charge for helicopter or boat rides if other players want easy transport.

Take advantage of owner rebates – You can get up to $1 million back for completing certain missions.

Avoid separate property fees – Use it as your spawn point to dodge apt/garage fees.

As you can see, while yachts won‘t directly generate much income, through some creative hustling you may be able to mitigate costs by a few million.

Should You Buy a Yacht? My Recommendation

Well friend, we‘ve covered a ton of in-depth details about the costs, benefits, and financials of owning a GTA Online yacht.

So is buying one actually worth it?

Here is my honest take for most players:

If showing off wealth and living large are your top priorities , then yes, go for it! A yacht is the ultimate flex and provides some really fun gameplay moments. The excitement of buying one is huge.

But strictly looking at ROI , a yacht probably isn‘t worth the huge investment. The specialized missions are cool, but won‘t come close to making back your millions.

My advice is to buy one only once you‘ve built up a massive bankroll of $30M+ and have already purchased more practical assets like businesses. A yacht can nicely complement a developed criminal empire.

Ultimately it‘s about your personal goals and playstyle. If living the exotic luxury superyacht lifestyle sounds like your dream – don‘t let anything stop you!

I hope this detailed guide helps you make the best decision on whether buying a yacht is right for your own journey in GTA Online. Let me know if you have any other questions!

The Best Boats To Buy In GTA Online

There are a plethora of available boats to buy on the GTA Online marketplace but a select few are a notch above the rest.

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

There are several classes of vehicles in GTA Online , all of which are quite well-known to any veteran of the franchise. However, there is one certain class of vehicle that tends to get overlooked and undervalued in GTA Online. That class is the boats, which are extremely useful and unique in their own right compared to cars, jets, etc. While boats don't serve as many purposes as those aforementioned vehicles, they can still be a solid class to either collect or stock up on so you're ready for any occasion.

In this guide, we'll be going over what we believe to be the best boats to buy in GTA Online. This list will not include yachts or the Kosatka submarine , however, as we feel those are in a class of their own. Instead, we'll be focusing on actual boats, which range from military-grade to racing to luxury.

Best Boats in GTA Online

While some players might think the fastest boats in GTA Online equals the best, that's not entirely true. Though it does apply to certain boats, there are some that aren't fast at all but might be more worth your money than a boat that can blaze across the Pacific Ocean.

Shitzu Longfin

The Shitzu Longfin in GTA Online

The Longfin kicks this list off, and for great reasons. Not only does the Longfin have the top boat speed of 122 miles per hour, but it also features outstanding handling, perhaps better than any other boat in GTA Online. Though the handling does come down a bit thanks to the large body of the Longfin, players can still fly around sharp turns with ease while still maintaining their speed. Performance aside, the Longfin has a sleek and slender look that screams luxury. What also screams luxury is its price tag, which is $2,125,000. This is by no means the most expensive boat in the game but it does require players to open their wallets more so than other options.

Lampadati Toro

The Lampadati Toro in GTA Online

The Lampadati Toro is yet another luxury boat that comes pre-equipped with a decent speedometer and a terrific aesthetic. The Toro tops out at around 50 miles per hour, which isn't nearly as fast as the top boats in GTA Online. However, the Toro has high acceleration, meaning players will get faster over time, allowing them to catch up to another boat in a race or speed away from police. Its handling is a bit lackluster and will still spend $1,750,000 to acquire it. However, the Toro is a solid investment that's a ton of fun to drive.

Pegassi Speeder

The Pegassi Speeder in GTA Online

While the Pegassi Speeder doesn't have the top-rated boat speed in GTA Online, coming in at 68 miles per hour, or superior handling and acceleration, it does come with a feature other boats don't. That feature is the ability to be stored on the Galaxy Super Yacht, which comes in handy when you're planning a heist or waiting on your yacht for other reasons. The Speeder also doesn't cost an arm and a leg, only coming in at $325,000. While it's not the best boat in GTA Online, having the ability to be stored on the Galaxy Super Yacht and featuring above-average performance makes it a great purchase.

Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy

The Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy in GTA Online.

Who doesn't love a dinghy with a machine gun? The Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy is an extremely popular boat in GTA Online, mostly due to its machine gun and overall performance. It has a top speed of 71.50 miles per hour, making it faster than plenty of standard boats. However, it cannot be used in standard races, so players might have to use the regular Nagasaki Dinghy for those needs. The difference between the two is the standard Dinghy has no weapons but can be raced. The price for the weaponized version is $1,850,000, which is actually not a bad deal for what you're getting in return. Comparatively, the price for the non-weaponized version is only $166,250.

If you want an even better weaponized boat, you can shell out for the Kurts 31 Patrol Boat, which costs nearly $3 million. The Patrol Boat has better overall performance than the Dinghy but does cost over 50% more.

Speedophile Seashark

The Speedophile Seashark in GTA Online

Rounding out our list is the best Jetski in GTA Online. While not technically a boat, since there are so few high-performance Jetskis in the game, we decided to include the Seashark. It has two variants, the standard one and the Lifeguard one. The only difference between the two is their paint jobs. Both have a top speed of 67 miles per hour, keeping them competitive with top-rated boats on the open water. As one would expect, the Jetskis also have terrific handling.

As a cherry on top, the Seashark can also be stored on the Galaxy Super Yacht and doesn't cost much, coming in at only $17,000. If anything, the Seashark is a worthwhile purchase for the simple pleasure of riding a Jetski on the Pacific Ocean in GTA Online.

The Galaxy Super Yacht is a yacht introduced to Grand Theft Auto Online in the GTA Online: Executives and Other Criminals update for the PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , and PC .

In A Superyacht Life - Bon Voyage , it is stated that "Galaxy" would provide some compensation for unexpected engine failure. It is not certain whether "Galaxy" is the company name of the ship manufacturer, or just simply a short-form for "Galaxy Super Yacht" as a full company name.

Description [ ]

The yacht is a full-sized yacht/cruiser fitted with a range of luxury features, including one or two helipads. The vessels feature a large bridge and 3 individual decks, while medium and high-end yachts also include a jacuzzi and a luxury helicopter.

There are a few options which can be chosen by calling the ship's captain using the in game phone, and can be used to gain access to the yacht when it is anchored at a location. The options include:

  • Calling for the helicopter (if applicable) which spawns on the yacht to be delivered to a location near the anchor point. Costs $1,000.
  • Calling for a boat to be delivered to the shoreline near the anchor point. This will always be the Dinghy . Costs $750.
  • Requesting your personal vehicle to be delivered to the shoreline so that you can travel from the yacht to the shore and have a car waiting for you. Free of charge.

Yachts can be purchased from $ 6,000,000 to $8,000,000 in GTA Online .

The Yacht cannot be controlled and does not move by itself, but the player can request the captain to move it to another location for $25,000. This fee can be reduced to $10,000 by completing the A Superyacht Life missions.

The ship comes with 2 NPC crew members — the captain and a bartender. The player can select who can access the yacht and its vehicles. Like apartments, the yacht can be set as a spawn point. Essentially, the yacht acts as a floating apartment, although it does not count toward the total properties owned by the player.

When entering the location of the yacht or nearing it, the following format of text will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen: [model of yacht] [custom name of yacht] [player's ID]

  • For example:

Aquarius Yacht Titanic Player999

Air defenses [ ]

The owner can activate the vessel's weapons defense system through the interaction menu and specify who can pass through, but while the system is active, players cannot access their personal weapons or fire their weapons from armed vehicles in a 150-meter radius of the yacht. The defense system can attack player and NPC aircraft and those with parachutes by emitting nearby explosions within the 250 meter radius, and also giving a warning to intruders to leave the air zone when approaching in the radius of 400 meters. It can even destroy armored aircraft (including the Avenger ) in one direct hit. The air defenses can also defend against incoming rockets from aircraft and launchers.

Daily Fees [ ]

Owning a Galaxy Super Yacht incurs a fee of $500 per day. Before The Contract update, the fee was $1,000 per day.

The names of the three models are references to constellations and mythology.

  • Expansive sun deck for entertaining.
  • Shitzu Tropic
  • Speedophile Seashark

The Pisces [ ]

PiscesYacht-GTAO-front

The Pisces Yacht . ( Rear quarter view )

The Pisces is the middle-class yacht purchasable, for $7,000,000. Comes with:

  • Two Helipads
  • Buckingham Swift Deluxe
  • Pegassi Speeder
  • Nagasaki Dinghy
  • A pair of Speedophile Seasharks

The Aquarius [ ]

AquariusYacht-GTAO-front

The Aquarius Yacht . ( Rear quarter view )

The Aquarius is the most expensive yacht purchasable, for $8,000,000. Shares the main features of The Pisces but exchanges the small portholes below the accessible decks for larger rectangular windows. Comes with:

  • Buckingham SuperVolito Carbon
  • Lampadati Toro
  • Four Speedophile Seasharks

Modifications [ ]

Similar to the customized apartments , several modifications can be applied to allow the player to create their own yacht. The following apply to all models of the Yacht.

Fittings [ ]

  • Chrome Fittings ( Included; $100,000 to downgrade )
  • Gold Fittings (+$750,000)

Lighting [ ]

  • Presidential Green (Included; $300,000 to downgrade)
  • Presidential Blue (+$315,000)
  • Presidential Rose (+$330,000)
  • Presidential Gold (+$350,000)
  • Vivacious Green (+$500,000)
  • Vivacious Blue (+$525,000)
  • Vivacious Rose (+$550,000)
  • Vivacious Gold (+$600,000)

Essentially, the main difference between the two types of lighting options is that the Vivacious puts light bars on the exterior of the yacht as well as lighting the interior, whereas the Presidential option only lights the interior.

Each of the color options features an additional accent color, this is most visible when looking at the demonstration photos of the lighting when selecting the options when you purchase the yacht. If the player selects the Vivacious Gold lighting for example, the top decks are lit up purple, and there are other places along the yacht which this accent color will feature. Accent colors feature on both Presidential and Vivacious options, however the latter is more vibrant. The following accent colors correspond to the lighting choices:

  • Green base color - pale orange accent
  • Blue base color - pale green accent
  • Rose base color - light blue accent
  • Gold base color - dark blue/purple accent
  • Pacific - White with blue hull (Included; $100,000 to downgrade)

  • Uniform - White with black hull & sides (+$315,000)
  • Ruby - White with red hull & sides (+$340,000)
  • Mediterranean - White with red hull stripes (+$365,000)
  • Vintage - Cream/Beige with blue stripe (+$425,000)
  • Continental - Cream/Beige with gray stripes (+$450,000)
  • Battleship - Dark gray with cream stripes (+$475,000)
  • Command - Dark gray with light-gray upper decks (+$495,000)
  • Classico - White with dark gray upper decks (+$620,000)
  • Intrepid - Black with red hull stripes (+$635,000)
  • Voyager - Green with yellow stripes (+$650,000)

Based on the colour scheme chosen, the spawned vehicles on the yacht will take on that color scheme as well.

Personalize [ ]

The player is able to select from 46 flags to place on the rear:

  • United States of America
  • Netherlands
  • South Korea
  • Switzerland
  • New Zealand
  • Puerto Rico
  • Czech Republic
  • Liechtenstein
  • South Africa
  • United Kingdom

Selecting a new flag after the initial purchase will cost $25,000.

The player is also able to name their ship up to 20 characters. The default name is "Galaxy Super Yacht".

Weapons [ ]

GTA Online - Yacht Gameplay and Tour Executives and Other Criminals DLC

  • It costs $500,000 to downgrade to the Orion and $1,000,000 to downgrade to the Pisces.
  • Darcy states in A Superyacht Life - Overboard that paper documentation kept onboard identifies the ship and crew as permanent residents of international waters. Without it, taxes would have to be paid to the IRS.
  • Multiple yachts can be in the same area, except they are spread out. There are 12 spots around the map which a yacht can be moved to, and there is a limit of 3 yachts at one time in the same location. This means that there are enough spaces in a single 30 player free roam lobby for every player to have their yacht on the map at the same time.
  • In addition, it will also cost $250,000 to rename their yacht, and $25,000 to fit a different flag onto their yacht.
  • Despite the vessel's size, there doesn't appear to be any staff present other than the Bartender and the Captain, Brendan Darcy . However, there are apparently further occupants according to the Bartender, as she will sometimes comment to the player "The crew are so well trained, you wouldn't even know they were here". In A Superyacht Life - Overboard, Darcy mentions that he will send out crew members to retrieve the jetskis stolen from the ship.
  • All models feature inaccessible areas, as evidenced by windows not connected to rooms in the cabin. This could be where the crew mentioned above reside. Additionally, there seems to be a large engine room as seen on the Dignity , as these Yacht models share the same removable access hatch by the stern.
  • Vehicles that come with the yacht purchase will respawn on/with the yacht a few minutes after being destroyed.
  • In addition, should one deign to sit in one of the designated seats in the Jacuzzi, their health would quickly regenerate to full.
  • The yacht hot tubs also have a location where the player can stand and lean against the side of the tub, which is unique to the yacht hot tubs.
  • The ash trays that appear around the Jacuzzi have " Buckingham Luxor " branding on them, likely because they were reused from the ash trays present in the Luxor Deluxe .
  • The roof and electronic masts vary between yacht models. The Orion has a mostly flat roof and a tall, vertical mast; the Pisces has short exhaust risers, more anti-aircraft launch tubes, and a sloped mast; and the Aquarius has tall exhaust risers, even more anti-aircraft launch tubes and a short mast attached to an arch.
  • Despite the number of anti-aircraft launch tubes between yacht models, they all have equal range, firepower, and reloading times.

GalaxySuperYacht-GTAO-YachtNameTrue

Example of the generic "true" name that can appear on a yacht when the owner leaves the session.

  • When there's someone on a yacht and the owner leaves the session, the yacht will have the name "true" or "false" shown on the back. No-one will be able to use the vehicles that belong to the yacht. When no one is looking at the yacht, it will despawn. In some cases, the defense system will come online, with Brendan warning the player to leave the yacht's vicinity.
  • When a player moves their yacht, any other players on it will also be moved on the yacht to its new location.
  • If the player moves their yacht, vehicles left on it that do not belong get left behind. If another player is in the area, the vehicle will simply fall into the sea.
  • The chair on the right side of the Yacht's bar has unique animations where the player sitting on it will do actions such as head banging, tapping their feet, resting their arm on the chair's head and clapping their hands.
  • There is an error with the Hot Tub where the player's clothes will not get visibly wet when entering it, however, water can still be seen falling off of them after they have left it.
  • Despite not being near land, strippers from the Vanilla Unicorn can still be called to the Yacht. The phone options menu will state "Invite to Your Apartment" however, but if the player is present inside their Yacht, they will buzz the Cabin door there instead.
  • If a vehicle is driven into the hot tub, it wouldn't get damaged from the water, even if it's fully submerged.
  • The yacht's anti-air defenses are not able to defend against Merryweather Security 's airstrike service.
  • The yacht, especially the Aquarius, appears to be the same yacht from Max Payne 3's "Sun Tan Oil, Stale Margaritas, and Greed" chapter, which is another Rockstar game. Likely a homage, considering that Max Payne 3 came out in 2012, one year before Grand Theft Auto V .

Glitches [ ]

  • There is a minor visual glitch that occurs during rainy weather, wherein the ceilings and canopies of the yacht will not block the rain while the player is on the deck, and the rain falls through these surfaces.
  • Sometimes, yacht owners may see someone else's yacht marked as their own; it will be marked on their radar and their name will appear above it, as if the player owned a second yacht. This, however, does not affect any functionalities on either the player's own yacht or the other player's, such as accessibility or the air defenses.

GTA 6 - Live updates as release date 'delayed' to 2026

Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming down the tracks, but fans hoping that it arrives on time in 2025 could be set for disappointment.

New reports suggest that the highly-anticipated Rockstar Games release could slip back to a 2026 release date due to delays in development.

Kotaku reports insiders with knowledge of the game's development have said it is running behind schedule and that it's likely to release later than expected in 2025, or even fall back to 2026.

In related news, Rockstar put employees on notice, issuing a memo to workers to push them into returning back into the office for five-days-a-week in an attempt - in their understanding - to stop delays. Employees at the company have since blasted that decision .

If development is behind schedule, that might shed some light on why Rockstar is doing this. After all, there is some hot anticipation backing the game.

Since Rockstar posted the trailer for GTA 6 in early December, after it was leaked online , social media has been a hotbed for leaks, rumours and theories about when exactly the game will be released, when further details such as trailers will be announced, what will be in the game itself and loads more.

It's no surprise really given that Grand Theft Auto 5 was widely recognised as the best game of the last decade - it came out in 2013 and is still popular with gamers today as Rockstar continues to release GTA Online updates.

Below is a roundup of some of the most recent leaks, rumours and theories, and this will continue to be updated, so keep checking back for the latest.

Everything we know about the GTA 6 soundtrack

With hundreds of songs featuring on the most recent game GTA 5 , and hundreds more being released through GTA Online since, what could be included in the soundtrack to GTA 6 ?

Could the trailer be built from in-game footage?

Rockstar's first trailer for GTA 6 broke the internet, but fans have cottoned onto a pretty decent talking point - could that trailer be built from in-game GTA 6 footage rather than CGI?

Well, an ' error' in the first trailer is leading eagle-eyed Redditors to believe that the first trailer was produced in-engine, rather than being a rendered animation.

Fans spot Rockstar's 'finishing touches'

Fans over on Reddit have spotted some curious activity with Rockstar Games' hiring activity.

The company is hiring for a new Mission Designer, Gameplay Character Animator, and a Branding Designer.

And these moves have caused some speculation...

User Ralome said: "Adding in all the finishing touches for world building is a good sign. It'll be a lot of fleshing out the world now with near complete builds forming."

While another added "They’re essentially in the final stages of the dev cycle if they’re designing missions, creating animations, play testing, and hiring for marketing positions."

Trailer recreated using real-life footage

A Reddit user has posted a version of the trailer using real-life footage to mimic what's in it.

deltagta6 posted the video in the GTA 6 Subreddit; it uses the audio from the original trailer.

And other users on Reddit are talking about it.

One user said: "Aww man this got me hyped for GTA again like a new trailer, well done OP (original poster)."

NefariousnessOk3732 said: "The fact that its not even a parody at this point its just recreating real life footage is really saying something."

Givemebackmyeyeholes said: "Didn't realize so much of the trailer was references to real viral videos online. Dope video!"

Entrinity said: "Real life looks worse than the game somehow."

NeedForMadnessAuto said: "Very epic."

Reaction to potential 2026 delay

Users in the GTA 6 Subreddit have been commenting their thoughts on the development GTA 6 could release in 2026.

HearTheEkko said: "Color me surprised, a Rockstar game might be delayed."

JacquesWebster2nd2nd said: "I'm not sure if I can take it anymore if it gets delayed to 2026."

Sold_anake said: "Nah they announce it early so they don’t delay it."

Release date 'delayed' to 2026

The release date for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 could slip to 2026 because of delays in development, according to a report.

Kotaku reports insiders with knowledge of the game's development have said it is behind schedule and that it's likely to release later in 2025, or even fall back to 2026.

Recently, Rockstar issued a notice to the majority of employees for them to return to the office five-days-a-week - employees have blasted that decision since , while it's understood the developer is forcing this through to issue productivity and security concerns.

If development is behind schedule, that might shed some light on why Rockstar is doing this.

Hope for 'improved gunplay'

Reddit user Zealousideal_Roll827 said GTA 6 'needs improved gunplay'.

They posted on the GTA 6 Subreddit: "I hope GTA 6 goes with a similar approach as RDR2 (Red Dead Redemption 2) , making gunplay a bit harder with heavier physics, better sound design and more advanced movement for combat."

It's got a lot of users talking on the social media site.

One user posted: "I'm hoping they incorporate the steadying mechanic from RDR2 . Like when you aim and that small circle closes onto the reticle to let you know it will be accurate. Love that feature, it makes gunplay way more dynamic."

QueasyTap3594 said: "Guns need to hit heavier when you shoot, everything in GTA V feels like a .22, including the rocket launcher."

MartianFromBaseAlpha said: "If they make it more like RDR2 , that's fine by me, but unlike many others on this sub, I like GTA V shooting too. I play with a controller on PC and it's precise enough for me to not have to use any sort of auto aim."

How the final GTA 5 map made by community looked

With a new version of the GTA 6 Mapping Project posted on the GTA 6 Subreddit, a user has posted how the final GTA 5 map looked from a similar project - and it's said to be around 90 percent accurate.

From all the leaks, trailers and popular speculation, the map painted a picture of what San Andreas and Los Santos, fictional versions of South California and Los Angeles, was expected to look like.

SpecialistSecret4578 posted screenshots of it in the GTA Subreddit saying 'that's genuinely so impressive' and asking how it was done.

GarbageZenna said: "Leaks, trailers, time and patience, just like they do now. They just didn’t have quite as much to go off back then."

ivappa said: "After the GTA 6 trailer dropped and saw people trying to recreate the maps and stuff, I went down a rabbit hole of older forums and posts from the time GTA 5 was revealed. it was amazing."

dweeb-destroyer said: "Analyzing the f**k out of the trailers and any screenshots that were provided."

roryb93 said: "Wasn’t there a screenshot from the trailer that showed the sat nav on a boat as well?"

K1nd4Weird said: "The same way they're doing it now. We have some leaks which help. We currently have one trailer which also helps. Soon we'll get new screenshots and trailers. And more of the map will get filled in. It just takes patience and pouring over available data. Looking for landmarks to figure out where things are in relation to one another."

Playing as prison inmate 'overdue'

A Reddit user has posted a gif of the third shot in the trailer of Lucia in prison uniform looking out of the window at what look like other inmates, saying 'getting to be a prison inmate in a GTA game is well overdue'.

It's not yet known if Lucia will be playable in prison, or what circumstances she finds herself there, at this stage but DemiPyramid hopes this will be a playable segment.

There are mixed opinions on if this will be playable in the comments.

No-Fisherman-6991 said: "Perhaps we'll get familiar with the game mechanics while in prison. In the same fashion as Mafia 2."

OnDaToiletPoopin said: "Kinda reminds me of how SR2 (Saints Row 2) started and I think that would be a great idea!"

Alive_Bodybuilder288 said: "I suspect it's the opening cutscene and the gameplay starts with us getting picked up by Jason. Hope you’re right though."

Fushigibama said: "Still can’t get over how f*****g good this shot looks!"

PapaYoppa said: "Don't get your hopes up it could all only be a shorty cutscene."

Map 'could extend so much further north'

A Reddit user has posted the most recent version of the 'leaked' GTA 6 map on a picture of the state of Florida and says it 'could extend so much further into the north'.

Living-Implement3905 posted what looks like an update from the GTA 6 Mapping Project which takes all the information from the trailer, leaks and strong speculation to form the map and it continues to be updated as more information or speculation emerges.

And NFmtzX1969 posted that on top of a map of Florida to show just how much further it could be extended and what else could feature.

  1. What's the best yacht? : r/gtaonline

    Pisces. Has two helipads, you can run around the top floor, has a faster helicopter, has a faster boat and has less of those cloth things that are really annoying in the back and the front and in my opinion the yacht looks cooler without them on the front.

    Kosatka (does that count as a boat?) is the most useful, but for actual boats, not submarines, I'd say the Longfin, it's by far the fastest watercraft in the game. A submarine is a boat. Kosatka :) With both of them you have dinghies, seasharks, motorboat. Boats aren't really very useful in game, apart from Kosatka's dinghy maybe - TBH ...

    In GTA Online, there are three types of yachts to choose from: The Orion, The Pisces, and The Aquarius. The Orion is the cheapest at 6 million, the Pisces costs 7 million, and the Aquarius is the most expensive at 8 million. The Pisces, in our opinion, is the best deal as it comes with better watercraft and a better helicopter than the Orion.
