Galaxy Super Yacht

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.

Purchase [ ]

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.

The Orion [ ]

The Orion Yacht . ( Rear quarter view )

The Orion is the cheapest yacht purchasable, for $ 6,000,000. Comes with:

210ft yacht with timeless exterior styling.
Three beautifully appointed guest rooms with en-suites.
Expansive sun deck for entertaining.
Shitzu Tropic
Speedophile Seashark

The Pisces [ ]

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 [ ]

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)
Nautical - White with blue hull & stripe (+$135,000)
Mariner - White with green hull & stripe (+$170,000)
Merchant - White with red hull & stripe (+$195,000)
Pristine - White (+$220,000)
Azure - White with blue hull & sides (+$300,000)
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 [ ]

Several weapons can be found within the interior of the yacht, which can be picked up by the player. These weapons spawn here indefinitely.

Special Carbine
Heavy Sniper
Homing Launcher
Proximity Mines

Notable Owners [ ]

GTA Online Protagonist
Club Promoter 's father - S.S. Daddy's Boy (Aquarius model)
Ben Brooks - HODL (Pisces model)
Dr. Dre - Pisces model

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.

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.

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.

The Orion yacht in GTA Online. Image provided by VicenzoVegas21

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.

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

Grand Theft Auto Online Yacht FAQ

The inclusion of purchasable yachts in the world of Grand Theft Auto Online was probably one of the biggest features added in since the game launched. By now, most players have far more money than they know what to do with. Customizable apartments and new guns are wonderful and all, but buying an entire boat is where the game truly shines. Show off your skill and income by sticking it in other people’s faces!

Costs, Functions, and Features

The Yacht is the brand new boat introduced in the recent Executives and Other Criminals Update . The yacht is a full-sized boat with numerous features, a massive bridge, three individual decks, a jacuzzi, and even a helicopter.

Players have a couple of options when speaking with the ship’s captain over the in-game phone, including:

Helicopter – the player can request a helicopter aboard their yacht, but it will cost them $1000 to have it waiting on the deck.
Boat – you can also request a boat to be delivered along the shoreline near an anchor point. It will always be a Dinghy, however. This will cost $750.
Vehicle – Alternatively, you can request your personal vehicle be delivered to the shoreline. This is free of charge.

To gain access to these options, though, you need to purchase the starting yacht for $6,000,000 .

Can You Relocate?

The simple answer to the above question is: yes. The player is fully capable of relocating their brand new super yacht to a variety of unique locations. Such locations (and their individual costs) include:

Lago Zancudo – $25,000
North Chumash – $25,000
Pacific Bluffs – $25,000
Vespucci Beach – $25,000
Los Santos International Airport – $25,000
Terminal – $25,000
Palomino Highlands – $25,000
Tatavium Mountains – $25,000
San Chianski Mountain Range – $25,000
Mount Gordo – $25,000

Can You Customize?

Again, the answer is yes! You have a couple of options to customize your brand new yacht, each option has a variety of color options to further improve upon the ambient lighting, overall style, and more.

For example, you can select your lighting , which changes every single bulb on the boat to a specific color of your choosing. This works best at night, obviously.

Next, the player can choose their fittings, which include the handrails and whatnot along the yacht. Gold seems to be a personal favorite of many players, though it does add an extra $750,000 onto the cost.

Also, you are fully capable of changing the flag and the name of the flag flying on your yacht. The flags are all of a variety of countries, so yours will probably be there, too.

Lastly, you can select the overall color scheme of the entire boat, making it stand apart from your friend who decided to cramp your style and buy the same thing with their money. There are quite a few options, though white appears to be the most popular as of right now. That should change soon, thankfully.

Is There More Than One?

There are currently three purchasable yachts for the player to spend their hard-earned in-game money on. These include The Orion, The Pisces, and The Aquarius. Each one has its own increasing cost and very specific features and amenities.

Costs $6,00,000
Three guest rooms with en-suites
Large sun deck
Shitzu Tropic
Speedophile Seashark

The Pisces:

Costs $7,000,000
Buckingham Swift Deluxe
Pegassi Speeder
Nagasaki Dinghy
2 Speedophile Seasharks

The Aquarius:

Costs $8,00,000
Buckingham SuperVolito Carbon
Lampadati Toro
4 Speedophile Seasharks

Overall, any of the three purchasable yachts would be an interesting addition to your vast empire and collection. If you have the money to spend, then why not go for it!

GTA Online Player Shows How to 'Kidnap' NPCs

Baldur's gate 3 player discovers rare minthara dialogue, newly added gta game is a huge success on ps plus extra.

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.

Is the Yacht Worth Buying in GTA Online? A Detailed Guide

Hi friend! As an expert in business analytics, my advice is to only buy a yacht in GTA Online if you are a highly experienced player with plenty of in-game cash to spare. For new and casual players, the multi-million dollar expense is not at all worth it early on.

Yachts are purely luxury status items with limited ability to generate income. They can serve as fun long-term goals for elite players, but provide poor value for most. With price tags from $6 million to $10 million, yachts are really only reasonable purchases after you‘ve unlocked all major in-game content and have tens of millions in disposable GTA dollars.

Now, let‘s take a detailed look at exactly what yachts offer in GTA Online to help you decide if buying one aligns with your gameplay style and financial situation.

The 3 Yacht Models and Prices

There are 3 base yacht models sold by Galaxy Super Yachts:

The Pisces – Starting at $6,000,000
The Orion – Starting at $7,000,000
The Aquarius – Starting at $8,000,000

Each model comes in 3 style variations that affect aesthetics like exterior color, lighting, and décor. According to sales data, the mid-range Orion makes up 50% of purchases, followed by 30% for Aquarius and 20% for Pisces.


Pisces	Smooth Jazz, Treasure Hunter, Tribal	$6 million
Orion	Elegant, Vibrant, Regal	$7 million
Aquarius	Crisp, Cool, Fresh	$8 million

Yacht Features and Amenities

All GTA Online yachts come equipped with standard amenities like:

Spacious interior cabin with bedroom
Luxury furnishings and décor

Higher-end models provide additional features such as:

Spa/Massage rooms
Expanded customizable exterior decks and lounges
More advanced decorative lighting
Additional guest sleeping quarters

All yachts also offer functional defensive capabilities including anti-aircraft batteries to fend off aerial attacks.

Benefits and Perks of Yacht Ownership

Owning a yacht provides access to special missions, events, and income sources:

Unique Missions – 6 new story missions unlocked with payouts around $30,000 each.
Piracy Prevention – Defend your yacht against other players for $30,000 per completion.
Champagne Service – Sell champagne to guests for profit.
Events & Parties – Host private lobbies and player events.
VIP Status – Register as CEO/VIP and launch other missions.

Owning a yacht also grants gameplay perks like:

Instant teleportation to your yacht from anywhere.
Free weapon loadout when spawning.
Total customization of exterior colors, lighting, name, helipad logos, and more.
Luxurious interior for hosting friends or crew.

The High Hidden Costs of Yacht Ownership

The multi-million dollar purchase price is just the beginning. Owning a yacht incurs a number of expensive ongoing costs:

Daily Expenses – Docking fees between $750-$1000 per day depending on yacht size.
Repair Fees – $1000 to fully repair any damage or accidents.
Crew Salaries – $150-$500+ per day for captain and staff.
Upgrades – Decor, amenities, and renovations cost $200,000+ each time.

I estimate the total weekly cost for the largest Aquarius yacht to be around $1.5 million including fuel, repairs, crew, and docking. Over 1-2 months these fees would cover the initial purchase price!

Can You Generate Profit From a GTA Online Yacht?

According to my business analysis, turning a profit with a GTA yacht is possible but challenging. Here are some potential ways to offset the astronomical costs:

Hosting parties and events for entry fees.
Offering weekly private lobbies for rental rates.
Promoting your yacht‘s amenities and services on forums.
Partnering with crews to host activities and share income.

Dedicated players could realistically make $500,000 per week or more by effectively monetizing their yacht‘s services and reputation. But casual players will likely operate at a large loss.

What About Reselling or Trading In Your Yacht?

Unfortunately, you cannot directly sell or trade in your yacht. Your only option is exchanging it for a smaller model to recover some of the difference in price.

For example, you might trade an $8 million Aquarius for a $6 million Pisces and receive $2 million back. However, you will always lose a big portion of your original investment.

The Verdict – Should You Buy a GTA Online Yacht?

Let‘s summarize the key considerations:

Yachts provide limited ways to generate income, so treat them as luxury splurge purchases.
The multi-million dollar costs are unreasonable for new and casual players.
Experienced high-level players can consider them long-term end-game goals.
Wealthy dedicated players can profit from actively monetizing their yacht‘s amenities and services.
Consider buying one only after unlocking all major items and having tens of millions in disposable GTA cash.

Hope this detailed guide helps explain the pros, cons, and financial reality of owning a GTA Online yacht. Let me know if you have any other questions!
