Tommy fights from the deck with a Ruger, but bring any other weapon you like, as the crew can supply more ammunition.

Come with full health and armor, since you cannot leave the yacht.

  2. Get up front and clear the route for the Colonel’s yacht.
  3. Shoot down the helicopters, do not endanger the yacht.
  4. Shoot the attacking helicopter out of the sky.

All Hands On Deck! walkthrough

A hasty departure

Cortez is in a rush. The French government wants its missile guidance system back, and the stolen tank has made things worse. Flying would be risky, so he will leave by sea. Tommy offers to protect him and Cortez accepts, and the yacht pulls out of the marina.

The first attack

As the yacht sails away, agents run to the pier and take boats after it. You stand on the deck with the sailors, who also carry Rugers. Aim at the boats behind and beside you and shoot the agents. Watch the stern and the sides, because boats arrive from both directions.

Clear the bridge

Near the bridge at the north end of the beach, four enemy boats are blocking the way. Go to the bow and shoot their crews until the passage is clear. The yacht cannot stop, so work fast, and keep an eye on the boats as they pull alongside. If you run out of ammunition, get more from the stairs on the top deck.

Helicopters

A helicopter flown by agents arrives, then an attack helicopter follows. Take them out before they hit the yacht, aiming at the pilot and not at the deck below. Do not fire carelessly, because stray shots can hurt the crew. Reload from the supplies between the waves.

Saying goodbye

Once the sky is clear, the yacht passes through the blockade. Cortez thanks Tommy, and tells him he must get off before they reach open water. He lowers his personal launch for you to keep and asks Tommy to look after Mercedes while he is away.
