In Dead Sails, boats are more than just a mode of transport; they serve as oversized inventory bags. With a team, you can shuttle loot back and forth to sell later. While there's no difference in speed or size, the aesthetics can enhance your experience:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Default* | Starts with you; no purchase needed | A solid choice until you get the hang of the game. |
| *Military* | Available in the starting lobby for 150 Dabloons | Camouflage adds a bit of flair to your journey. |
| *Junk* | Same as above | Might look like trash, but it's your trash. |
| *Modern Boat* | Same as above | A sleek option for those who prefer a modern look. |
| *Dragon Boat* | Same as above | A unique blend of Mickey Mouse and Viking aesthetics. |
| *Rubber Duckie* | Same as above | Arguably the best boat in the game for its charm. |
| *Viking Boat* | Same as above | Comes with shields and a dragon carving; truly stunning. |
| *Empress* | Same as above | A pink vessel for those who want to loot in style. |
| *Sheep* | Same as above | The quirky choice; every list needs a black sheep. |
| *Shark Boat* | Same as above | Sadly, it doesn't play 'Baby Shark' when you start it up. |
| *Bling Boat* | Same as above | For those who want to feel like a hip-hop star on the water. |
If you need more space for loot or to transport your team, consider adding a raft to your fleet.
