The boats

From a little motor dinghy to a rescue RIB, and each one answers to the same water in its own way.

Every boat, the same waves

Each boat rides the same Caribbean sea first, so you can see the difference, then takes on a sea of its own. Watch on YouTube

Pick your hull

You start in the free Motor Dinghy. Coins from every run unlock the rest, and the garage lists them in the order you can afford them.

Bright pips: the boat as it leaves the garage. Dim pips: the same hull fully upgraded.

Motor Dinghy: a red inflatable with a small outboardFree

Motor Dinghy

The starter

Tubes and a small outboard. The lightest hull on the water, so every bit of chop throws it around. It's your first boat, free from the start, and it gets more air out of a wave than its size suggests.

Best fit: Calm Lake, Loch Ness, the Nile and the Caribbean. The open Pacific is a tough fit for it.

Speedboat: a yellow racing hull with orange flames2nd unlock

Speedboat

All-rounder

Good on every sea and best on none. It's the boat every other boat is measured against, and the one most runs start in once you own it.

Best fit: the Pacific, where its weight and grip match the long swell.

Jet Ski: yellow and blue, with an orange saddle3rd unlock

Jet Ski

Trick machine

Planes in an instant and spins faster in the air than anything else, which makes it the boat for flips. The catch: the least stability and the smallest tank of any boat. In the garage it tunes an Impeller instead of a propeller.

Best fit: the Nile, Calm Lake, Loch Ness and the Caribbean. On the Pacific it's a good fit.

Rescue RIB: a yellow rigid inflatable with a light bar4th unlock

Rescue RIB

Survivor

Built to come home. The inflatable collar soaks up ugly landings, and it leans further before it goes over than any boat you've had before it. It's the hardest boat in the game to capsize, with the longest range once upgraded.

Best fit: the Pacific and the Nile.
