The Fastest Boat walkthrough

Diaz and his pigeons

Tommy finds Diaz on a balcony at the back of the mansion, shooting pigeons with a shotgun. Diaz is proud of owning the fastest boat on the east coast and wants to keep it that way. He has heard that the Viceport boatyard has built a quicker one for a Costa Rican gangster, and he tells Tommy to go and steal it.

To Viceport

Drive to the boatyard at the docks in Viceport. The route runs along the main roads from Starfish Island, so you have a straightforward drive. Park near the gate. The guards are armed, so get your weapon out as you arrive, and approach on foot.

Fight through the yard

Thugs guard the yard and the boat sits high above the water in a gantry. Shoot the guards outside, then move on to the mechanics in the garage. The boat is the one hanging above the water. Take your time and use cover from the wooden walls and the crates, since the guards are numerous.

Lower the boat

The switch is inside the garage, guarded by mechanics. Kill them and press the switch to drop the boat into the water. Then fight your way out. More guards are waiting on the dock, so pick up the weapons dropped by the dead and keep moving until the boat is within reach.

Sail home

Climb into the Squalo and head back to Diaz’s mansion on Starfish Island. The boat is very fast, so use the full width of the bay to steer around obstacles. The police may chase you in boats. Keep the Squalo undamaged, since losing it fails the mission, and dock at the mansion’s jetty.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • The Squalo is destroyed

After the mission

You earn $4,000. Supply & Demand opens, and Autocide opens once Waste the Wife is also done.
