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

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

- Intrepid - Black with red hull stripes (+$635,000)
- Voyager - Dark 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.

Gallery [ ]
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.

Our in-game crew and real life friend group is called “The Peace Mob” so our Yacht is named “Mob Mentality” which we love.
Mine is Disco Valante, which is cool for a bond fan*, but not funny. I love a good pun. *it's a shame the front doesn't detach as a super fast jet boat.
I dubbed her 'Yacht der Untoten'. Mine's been called The Nebuchadnezzar since I bought it when it was first released. Mine is the "S.S. SS" because I was …
But what are these practical uses? In this guide to the best yachts in GTA Online, we’ll cover the Galaxy Super Yachts in detail to help you decide which one is worth the expensive price tag.
I haven't thought of a good name yet but I'll christen it by smashing a bottle of champagne (Molotov) on the side. Are you sure that's a good idea? You don't want to "christen" your yacht with a $100,000 insurance bill.
Mine is Bake N Shake or name it X.S Cash like the DBZ character in Bojack Unbound lol
