Colonel Cortez , a prominent character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City , is depicted early in the game's storyline to be based in a lavish, unnamed private yacht docked at Pier 2 of the Ocean Bay Marina , opposite the Marina Sands Hotel .

Description

The yacht is a essentially a large red-and-white sea vessel that features three levels of accessible deck connected by a series of stairways in both sides and in front, but lacks any interior (even though there are access points in the rear and on the upper deck). In addition, a red Speeder (seemingly sporting a pre-release design) is attached to the rear of the yacht.

Most notably featured during " The Party ", when it is a venue for a high-profile party hosted by Colonel Cortez, the yacht serves as Cortez' home in Vice City while he is in exile from an unspecified South American country; the reason Cortez lives on his yacht is because his villa in Vice City (most likely in Starfish Island ) has been bugged by police. Over the course of the storyline, the ship is also revealed to be one of Cortez' valuable assets, serving as a mobile base of operation where he stores smuggled merchandise and organizes an investigation into the failed drug deal with the Vance brothers , and a contact point from which he gives out missions to the player (after " Riot "), including " Treacherous Swine ", " Mall Shootout ", " Guardian Angels ", " Sir, Yes Sir! " and " All Hands on Deck! ". The ship is also implied to be manned by a well-armed crew decked in sailor outfits.

Eventually, increasing hostilities from the French government lead Cortez and his crew to flee Vice City in the ship in " All Hands on Deck! ", fending off French gunners with help from the player while the ship sails north. After escaping to the northern extent of the city, Cortez gives the player the yacht's Speeder as a parting gift before setting off to an unknown destination. Upon completion of "All Hands on Deck!", the ship is no longer seen at the Ocean Bay Marina or anywhere else in the city.

  • A scale model of Cortez' yacht can be found in the office of the Malibu Club in GTA Vice City.
  • The yacht's Speeder, when attached to the rear of the yacht, is not solid.
  • After the mission All Hands on Deck! , the outline of the yacht can still be seen on the radar although the ship is no longer at the Ocean Bay Marina.

The reward for completing All Hands On Deck is $ 5,000 and the Speeder . All missions for Cortez are now complete.

  • Despite the fact that the player recieves the speedboat as a 'gift', there is no way for the player to save it as there are no garages in the game that are fit for boats.
  • Cortez's Speeder is shown to have a primary red body color when being lowered in the sea, but the Speeder that the player is in after the mission is white.
  • "Adios amigo" is the only Spanish that Tommy Vercetti speaks in the game.
  • Strangely, the French SS will be heard speaking Spanish in of French. This is unknown why.

Description [ ]

Circa 1986 , the Boatyard is owned by two men, Dwaine and Jethro . The Boatyard constructed speedboats for specific buyers, with one example being the Squalo built for a Costa Rican drug lord until it was stolen by Tommy Vercetti under orders of Ricardo Diaz . Later in 1986, Tommy Vercetti bought the Boatyard for $ 10,000 ( $ 5,000 in the mobile version) from Dwaine and Jethro, who later leave Vice City for San Andreas .

Tommy uses the Boatyard as a port of entry for the cocaine shipments, which he then proceeds to distribute in Vice City. When Tommy finishes the boat race in Checkpoint Charlie , the business will generate up to $2,000 in assets.

The Boatyard also appears in GTA Vice City Stories but it is inaccessible and plays no role in the storyline, although it is sometimes featured in smuggling empire missions if the player has a smuggling building site in Viceport.
