Can you drive boats and jet skis in GTA 6?

Can you actually steer a boat in GTA 6?

Very likely, though Rockstar hasn’t spelled out the controls. It names two craft as Ultimate Edition vehicles, the Shitzu Squalo boat and the Crest Kayak, and its images show jet skis, airboats and a police boat. Rockstar North’s Rob Nelson told IGN that kayaking is one of the everyday activities Jason and Lucia can do together.

Edge’s cover feature goes furthest. It reports that wind moves the waves and that islands and buildings shield some water from it, changing how boats behave near the shore. Aaron Garbut told the magazine: “Depending on where you are in your boat, you’ll skip over that stuff or get really rocked around by it.”

What has Rockstar itself shown?

Rockstar’s editions page describes the Squalo as gradient pink and blue, docked at Washington Beach, pitched for fishing in Gambit Bay and fitted with a weapons crate loaded with explosives. One image shows it with a police boat close by and a police helicopter above. The Ultimate Edition is digital only and costs $99.99 in the US.

The same page lists the Crest Kayak among Jason’s Safehouse Vehicles. Rockstar’s Only in Leonida page adds people jet skiing behind a Leonida Keys boat party, airboats in the Grassrivers, a kayaker in Mount Kalaga National Park and Jason fishing from a boat. A picture proves a craft exists, not that you can drive it, so we label these as shown. Our GTA 6 boats page lists every craft named so far.

Can you ride a jet ski in GTA 6?

Jet skis are shown, and outlets describe the pair riding one. IGN’s Trailer 2 breakdown says Jason and Lucia are on a SeaShark jet ski, a model name that is IGN’s reading, not a Rockstar caption. Dazed, in a feature that quotes Rob Nelson, describes the couple skimming the waves on one after a job.

GamesRadar+ says An Extended Look showed jet skiing and kayaking in the ocean, and Video Games Chronicle lists jet skiing and air boating among the game’s activities. Our jet skiing page tracks the activity. Whether it includes races, Rockstar hasn’t said.

What do the trailers show about boats?

These are outlets’ readings. IGN’s Launch Trailer list has Jason and Cal buffing a boat it calls the Shasa, with Jason apparently working at Brian’s marina among racks of rental boats and jet skis. Rockstar’s profile of Brian Heder does mention his boat yard.

IGN’s Trailer 2 list also spots a Dinka-brand boat on the docks that it thinks is a new take on the Predator, the LurePredator, and its Extended Look list calls the Lure Predator a fishing boat. None of this says which craft you can pilot.

Will boats tie into fishing and diving?

Loosely, so far. The Squalo is pitched for fishing, and Rockstar’s images show scuba divers in the Leonida Keys. Our page on swimming and diving underwater covers what is known. Rockstar hasn’t said whether you can dive straight off your own boat.

What we don’t know yet

Rockstar hasn’t published a list of boats, prices or where to find them. It hasn’t said whether you can buy, keep or customize a boat, store it like a personal car, or drive every airboat and jet ski you see. Speed, damage and the controls are unannounced, so we will update this page after launch on November 19.
