PredictionThese are predictions based on Rockstar historical design patterns and are not confirmed.

Vice City and Leonida are saturated with water — beaches, marinas, swamps, and open ocean. Watercraft will almost certainly play a bigger role in GTA 6 than in any prior Rockstar release.

Predicted watercraft categories

  • Speedboats and sports boats.
  • Jet skis and personal watercraft.
  • Yachts (likely with ownership analogue from GTA Online).
  • Fishing and utility boats.
  • Possible airboat for swamp traversal.

Likely mission applications

Smuggling, ocean racing, and escape sequences are all setting-appropriate. Expect at least one watercraft-centric heist or business shape.

PredictionWatercraft are likely to be a primary GTA 6 traversal layer, not a footnote.

Frequently asked questions

Will yachts be ownable?

Probable. Setting-appropriate and the GTA Online analogue exists.

Will watercraft customisation exist?

Highly likely, given Rockstar's customisation lineage.
