Daddy’s Little Girl starts as a bike ride with Jimmy and ends with Michael pulling Tracey away from a yacht party. For gold, the important tasks are staying on the bicycle, completing the swim within one minute and reaching top speed on the Seashark. Winning the bike race is not a medal requirement.
Step-by-step walkthrough
-
Take Jimmy to the beach
Start at the Michael mission marker at his own house. After the family argument, get into a car with Jimmy and follow the route to Vespucci Beach. Stop near the bicycle rental stand and choose a bike. The trip to the shop is preparation for the race; there is no overall mission-time gold target.
-
Ride to the end of the pier
Follow the race route towards Del Perro Pier. Leave space around pedestrians, bollards and sharp corners. Use extra pedalling on clear stretches, then ease off before crowded sections. If Jimmy gets ahead, keep riding cleanly rather than trying to recover the lead with a risky shortcut. Falling off costs Stabilizer; finishing behind Jimmy does not.
-
Swim directly to the yacht
Once Michael jumps from the pier, head straight for the yacht and its boarding ladder. Dive and use the fast-swim control for a direct underwater approach, but watch the air meter and surface before it runs out. Avoid circling the hull looking for a different entry. Climb the ladder to trigger the scene with Tracey; Faster Than Fish allows one minute for this section.

Escape with Tracey on the Seashark
After the confrontation, accelerate away with Tracey. Follow the water passage towards the canals and tunnel to break away from the pursuing watercraft. Keep enough room to steer before narrow openings. On a clear straight, hold full acceleration long enough to reach maximum speed. You can lose the pursuers without stopping for a shootout.

Return to Jimmy on the beach
Wait for the pursuit objective to clear, then follow the destination marker to the shore. Approach carefully rather than running the Seashark onto an unrelated patch of sand. The closing family scene completes the mission and unlocks triathlons.
Gold medal checklist
- Fastest Speed: Reach top speed on the Seashark. Use a long straight and minimise abrupt turns.
- Stabilizer: Complete the bicycle section without falling off. Beating Jimmy is unnecessary.
- Faster Than Fish: Reach the yacht within 1:00. Swim directly and use the boarding ladder.
Common questions
Is there an eight-minute time limit?
No. This mission’s timed medal concerns the swim, not the full trip. Do not confuse its checklist with Casing the Jewel Store.
Why does the swim fail?
The yacht is the destination, so swimming near it is not enough. Finish the approach at the ladder, and keep oxygen in reserve for the last few metres.

Friend Request and Franklin’s available jobs can overlap with this part of the story. Complete both Daddy’s Little Girl and Casing the Jewel Store before looking for the first heist’s preparation missions.
