Raft Tycoon Boats
Every hull in the dock menu — cash prices, Robux passes, and what the Speed / Handling / Income stats mean.
The boat menu is a horizontal strip under the water: owned Jetski, then cash hulls, then Robux hulls tagged New when Flappy Bit is pushing them. Spawn puts one boat in the water. You do not stack a navy for belt income. Racing is covered in boat races. Letters are on the boat tier list. This page is the catalog.
How to read a spawn card
- Speed (knots). Lap potential on open water.
- Handling. Cornering on checkpoint tracks. Low handling plus high speed is how Ice Breaker fans swim.
- Income. Tiny parked payout. Not a conveyor.
- Price. Cash or Robux. Cash resets on rebirth. Robux stays.
Need the dock first. Expand raft. Need controls to open the menu and press Spawn instead of walking into sharks.
Cash boats
| Boat | Price | Notes from live menu / recaps |
|---|---|---|
| Jetski | Owned after dock | 75 knots, handling 6, Income ~$315 on one HUD capture. Starter hull. |
| Small Sailboat | $50,000 | First reasonable cash upgrade. Older recaps ~60 knots, Income $500. |
| Bowrider | $100,000 | Mid. Recaps ~80 knots, handling 7, Income $1,000. |
| Motor Boat | $250,000 | Faster laps. Buy after belts, not before Dropper 3. |
| Catamaran | $2.5M | Mid-late cash. Easy to buy too early. |
| Rescue Boat | $25M | Late. Recaps ~90 knots, Income $10,000. |
| Fishing Yacht | $40M | Late yacht. |
| Ice Breaker | Late (recaps ~$125M) | ~100 knots, handling ~5, Income ~$1M parked. Heavy. |
| Small Yacht | Very late (recaps ~$500M) | Trophy speed, Income ~$5M parked. |
If the menu in your server shows a different number, the HUD wins. Flappy Bit has added hulls during Update 7 (four extra boats in that patch) and seasonal sleighs.
Robux / pass hulls
These appear in Shop and often again in the boat strip:
- Golden Yacht — seen near 749 Robux with a New tag. Classic flex.
- Race Boat — for people who already race.
- Titanic — screenshot magnet.
- Aircraft Carrier — same.
- AH-64 Helicopter — not a Tsunami skip.
- Kayak, Submarine — movement toys.
- Sleigh — seasonal, still for sale in the pass API.
- Flying Carpet — off-sale in the last pass dump.
Full pass notes: gamepasses. None of these replace codes or Golden Upgraders.
Using boats without derailing the tycoon
- Dock → Jetski → one lap while the collector fills.
- Second conveyor before Sailboat. Make money.
- Spawn only the hull you are racing. Extra parked boats are clutter plus a tiny Income line.
- Fall in? Spawn again. Do not swim a checkpoint.
- Tsunami? Dock and climb. Weather.
- Rebirth? Cash hulls vanish. Pass hulls remain after you rebuild the dock.
Why a catalog exists
YouTube thumbnails show golden ferries. The actual menu starts with a Jetski and a $50,000 Sailboat. This page exists so a new player can match the strip they see on screen without pausing a 29-minute video. When a new hull ships, we add a row here and a letter on the tier list, then mention the patch on latest updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers players actually search for in Raft Tycoon.
How do I unlock boats in Raft Tycoon?
Build the Boat Dock from expansion buttons, then open the boat menu. The Jetski is owned immediately after that.
What does Income on a boat mean?
A small parked payout. Conveyors still pay more. Race for real boat cash.
Which boat should I buy first?
None. Use the Jetski until a second conveyor is down, then Small Sailboat.
Will my Golden Yacht survive rebirth?
Yes. Robux hulls stay. Cash hulls reset.
