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

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)

- 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.

- United States of America
- Netherlands
- South Korea
- Switzerland
- New Zealand
- Puerto Rico
- Czech Republic
- Liechtenstein

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

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.
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.

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 Yacht Missions And Payouts
GTA Online offers a wide variety of mission chains and quests, providing players with the opportunity to earn substantial rewards. Among these missions are the Yacht missions, which are part of the "A Superyacht Life series" and become available after purchasing a Yacht.
To assist you in completing these missions and obtaining the associated rewards, we have provided a comprehensive breakdown below. We will outline the specifics of each Yacht mission, explain the payout structure, and reveal the rewards you can expect upon completion.
GTA Online - All Yacht Missions
As part of the Los Santos Summer Special update in Grand Theft Auto Online, players can engage in a series of six missions called " A Superyacht Life. " These missions are assigned by Brendan Darcy, the captain of the player's Galaxy Super Yacht, and can be played by a group of 1 to 4 players.
Below are the descriptions of all six of these Yacht missions in GTA Online:
Mission 1: Overboard
Captain Darcy alerts the player that the yacht's jetskis and important documents, which establish both the Captain and the player as permanent residents of international waters, have been stolen. The player is instructed to proceed to the Vespucci Canals, where the joyriders were last spotted. Eliminating the thieves in this area can be challenging, but it offers decent cover and strategic shooting positions.
The Captain reveals that the culprits are members of the Puerto Del Sol yacht club, prompting the player to seek revenge. The next objective is to head to the yacht club and sink the 10 boats docked there. Time is of the essence, as a boat may attempt to escape. Sink them all, and the mission will be completed.
Mission 2: Salvage
Brendan Darcy informs the player about a distress call from a sunken supply ship nearby. They are directed to a dredge barge to collect the sunken cargo around the wrecked Olifantus ship.
After retrieving the cargo, the player returns to find the yacht invaded by the Kkangpae. They eliminate the hijackers and receive a call from Brendan, who reveals he and the bartender have been taken hostage. The player rescues them while fending off attackers and returns to the yacht.
Mission 3: All Hands
Brendan alerts the player about a problematic business deal at the Pacific Country Club. They must steal firefighting planes from LSIA to extinguish cars set on fire by club members. Guards at the airport trigger a 2-star wanted level until the Tula is acquired.
After refueling in the air and receiving a threatening text message, the player heads to the country club. They extinguish burning vehicles while fending off Kkangpae attacks. There's a 5-minute time limit for each task. Brendan mentions additional fires at the Pipeline Inn. Returning the Tula to the yacht concludes the mission. Failing restarts at the LSIA hangar without enemies.
Mission 4: Icebreaker
Brendan Darcy devises a revenge plan against the Kkangpae for kidnapping him. The player destroys air-conditioning units at the Fridgit Cold Storage warehouse and steals the prepared product.
The player must deliver the goods while fending off Kkangpae attacks. The mission ends when the player reaches the buyer in an alley behind the Hedera Hotel in Del Perro.
Mission 5: Bon Voyage
The mission starts with a stormy setting as the yacht's systems fail. Enemies attack from different directions, including onboard, in Dinghies, and from Buzzards. Brendan reveals that the attackers are the Kkangpae, the gang that previously kidnapped him.
The player defends the yacht through three waves of enemies. Brendan restores power and requests the player to eliminate remaining foes on foot and in boats. The mission ends after completing this task.
Mission 5: D-Day
Brendan informs the player about the boss of a money laundering outfit staying on a heavily defended yacht. He suggests using a Kraken submersible to sneak past their defenses. The sub is located near a barge, close to the rival yacht's defensive zone patrolled by Dinghies.
While operating the sub, the player must stay low to avoid detection and navigate through underwater mines. A detection meter shows the player's visibility to the yacht's defenses, while a depth meter indicates their underwater level. Staying at a safe depth of around 275-350ft is crucial. The surrounding area is patrolled by boats, so the player must remain submerged.
Approaching the yacht's vicinity, the player resurfaces and boards the ship, engaging multiple enemies onboard. After eliminating all enemies, the boss tries to escape in a helicopter. The player must give chase, with the helicopter being escorted by two others. Dinghies also join the pursuit. The escort helicopters have gunners armed with RPGs. The target helicopter's health is displayed on-screen. Once the helicopter is destroyed and the boss is killed, Brendan suggests collecting the bounty on the boss's head, concluding the mission.
GTA Online - Yacht Missions Payouts
Currently, we don't have an exact number for the payout of each of these missions, since they depend on other factors such as the rank you play at and the amount of time the mission takes. However, we can say that the payout will be around the $38,000 mark (adjusting for the 25% increase thanks to the recent update), as after they are all complete, players will earn the Captain's Outfit as a souvenir.
So there you have it, a complete breakdown of all the Yacht missions on GTA Online as well as the Payouts you'll receive for completing them. Be sure to check back here soon, as we'll update this listing with the most relevant information as it's made available.

I was on a yacht yesterday and someone had a swift on theirs. And I know you can just land them but it was colored to match their yacht (white and red) so I don't know if this only served to confuse people but I figured I should mention it. (I have not figured out how to change it) 1. Derpythewolf.
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 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.
Request a helicopter ($1000) Request your Personal Vehicle (free) The intention is that the first two options are ways back on to the Yacht, and the third is so you can use the rear jetskis or boats to quickly get to your car from the Yacht. The spawn points are meant to be close to the Yacht, but "close" is very vague.

I have the aquarius yacht which has 2 helipads but only 1 helicopter i was wondering if there was a way to permanently add another helicopter to it
You need to keep repeatly push forward the mouse control to keep the helicopter lean forward. If not, it will make the helicopter stay in horizontal. I did not make any change of settings before... Or is there any way to change the handle of helicopter in the setting menu? thanks. Edited June 11, 2016 by peter_coaster
They could quickly fix this by changing the worthless option of calling the yacht captain for the helicopter. Instead of spawning it on the coast by the yacht, give the option to spawn it at the nearest helipad. As a proud yacht owner, this is one of the most irritatingly useless features provided by the Captain.
