Mission walkthrough

  1. Buy the boatyard and choose a boat

    After Shakedown, purchase the Viceport Boatyard for $10,000. Enter one of the mission boats at the jetty to begin the course. Pick the boat whose handling you find easier rather than choosing purely by its apparent top speed.

  2. Follow the package route

    Collect the checkpoints in sequence, aiming through their centres. Look ahead towards the next marker while passing the current one. Missing a package and turning back can cost more than easing off slightly to collect it cleanly.

  3. Approach ramps straight

    Align the hull early and carry speed into the jump. Avoid a sharp steering input at takeoff, which can send the boat sideways onto the bank. After landing, regain a stable line before setting up the next corner.

  4. Finish the first challenge

    Complete the route within its limit to acquire the boatyard's income. Later attempts can offer harder versions and extra rewards, but the initial successful run is enough for this business's contribution to the finale requirements.

Key point

You do not need to finish every repeat difficulty to count the boatyard as a completed asset. Confirm the income pickup appears after the first successful course.
