Mission walkthrough

Catching the yacht

You can begin as Michael or Franklin. Michael gets a call from Jimmy, who tried to sell the yacht and has been driven off with it. Take Amanda’s Sentinel to Pacific Bluffs and on to the Great Ocean Highway, where the truck and trailer race past you.

Michael takes a call from Jimmy in the kitchen, the phone screen showing Jimmy connected.
Michael stands beside the red Sentinel convertible in the driveway, still on the phone with Jimmy.
The red Sentinel convertible drives down a residential street behind a dump truck and other cars.

Chase it through the tunnel and on to the Del Perro Freeway. Traffic here is scripted, and the truck throws cars around as it goes. Stay close enough for Franklin to make the jump when you’re told to.

The red convertible follows a boat trailer truck through a green-lit road tunnel.
Red convertible passes a dark sedan in the tunnel while the boat truck is still ahead.
Red convertible follows the boat truck on a freeway as a large white semi passes on the right, kicking up dust.

Shooting the thief

Switch to Franklin if the game asks and shoot the thief on board. The boat then swings around on the trailer, leaving Jimmy dangling from the mast. Get the car beneath him and hold it steady so he drops in.

The objective reads Shoot the thief as the red convertible trails the boat trailer on the freeway.
The boat on its trailer swings its boom out over the freeway as the red convertible follows.
Objective Drive under Jimmy and hold the vehicle steady, as Jimmy hangs from the boat's boom above the road.

Fixing the car

The car is badly damaged by now, so drive it to Los Santos Customs and get it repaired. Then head back to Michael’s house. This mission opens Los Santos Customs and garages, and adds Michael and Jimmy to Franklin’s phone.

The objective reads Go to Los Santos Customs as the red Sentinel drives along a bridge-side freeway.
The red Sentinel pulls into a 24-hour auto repairs lot, with the Customs sign on the building behind the fence.

Gold Medal requirements

Move under the mast as soon as Jimmy appears and hold the car steady, because you only have ten seconds. Then drive back gently, as the damage requirement covers the delivery of Amanda’s car.
