GTA Online: How To Complete The Superyacht Life Missions

The Superyacht Life Missions are a complex series of quests in GTA Online. Here's everything players need to know about them.

Unlike most entries in the Grand Theft Auto franchise, Grand Theft Online allows players to breathe life into their characters and explore Southern San Andreas as their own crime lords-to-be. Now outside the confines of the stories of usual Grand Theft Auto protagonists, GTA Online players are left to their own devices to make a name for themselves with a rising criminal empire. That, or just go have explosive mayhem with their friends.

Thankfully, players who want a genuine GTA experience can rely on missions to give them a semblance of sanity in the game’s setting. One such quest is “A Superyacht Life,” which in itself is a series of six missions that players can pursue with up to three friends. What makes “A Superyacht Life” one of the most memorable quest lines in the hit online installment, and how can players complete it?

Available through the Los Santos Summer Special update released in 2020, “A Superyacht Life” is a questline given to a player or up to four players. This questline is primarily set in the Galaxy Super Yacht , an expensive GTA Online vehicle that players will eventually own.

Similar to other questlines in GTA Online , the ones provided in A Superyacht Life revolve around an interconnected plot point. Players must assist the quest-giver, Captain Brendan Darcy, in various duties involving the usage of the Galaxy Super Yacht. These include undersea missions, cargo retrieval, and even fulfilling the goals of high-end clients.

Accessing The Quests

Players can access "A Superyacht Life" from the Bridge of the Galaxy Super Yacht. From here, they should head to the Captain’s Workstation to load the current mission available to them.

Alternatively, players may be able to use their smartphone to call Captain Brendan Darcy and then choose a Request Job. The current available mission in the series should be made accessible to players. Both these options are available as long as players haven’t completed the questline in full.

When players access this mission, a distressed Captain Darcy informs the player that someone has stolen the yacht’s jetskis (another expensive GTA Online vehicle ) as well as important documents related to both the Captain and the players. The documents specify that they are “permanent residents of international waters.”

First, head to the Vespucci Canals, the last known location of the joyriders. The waterworks can prove tricky ground to eliminate the thieves at first, but the area provides both decent cover and a lot of openings to shoot opponents.

The Captain will then inform players that the thieves were part of a Puerto Del Sol yacht club, which means players have to exact revenge against them. To do this, they need to head to the yacht club and sink the 10 boats located there. Players need to do this fast, as one of the boats may attempt to sail away from danger. This second objective is tricky, as this part of the mission is done with a Wanted level that doesn’t lower. The yacht club also has medium-level Security Guards. Moreover, the mission is only completed once players lose their Wanted level as well.

After a successful encounter with thieves, the Captain sends players to their second Grand Theft Auto mission . "Salvage" resembles a more modern take on sea exploration, albeit with a dash of wanton violence. The Captain informs a player of a distress call that has come from a sunken supply ship, the Olifantus, not too far from them. Should they make it in time, they will be able to retrieve the cargo and the loot for themselves.

Retrieving Supplies

Players are first directed to a dredge barge just south of the yacht. Go underwater towards the shipwreck and slowly retrieve the supplies. Players can’t stay underwater for too long, though. They are able to rise and swim back courtesy of Rebreathers, around 10 of which are provided. Players may also use their own scuba suit for this portion of the game.

Dealing With The Kkangpae

The Captain, via a call, congratulates the player after their retrieval of the cargo. Unfortunately, the sound of glass breaking can be heard, as well as the implication that part of the cargo has been stolen. Players have to go back to the ship, only to see it hijacked by the Kkangpae. They will also notice some enemies riding Dinghies circling their yacht. The confrontation with the Kkangpae is tricky, as players find themselves surrounded. There is no time limit for rescuing the Captain though, so players can take their time.

After eliminating the Kkangpae, players will receive a call from an unknown number with the Captain on the line. He will explain that the Kkangpae took him and the bartender hostage as revenge for the yacht destruction in the previous mission. Players will be directed to a peninsula near Cape Catfish, with one area designated as a hostage site. Be careful during this portion of the mission, as the player's travel towards the peninsula will have them encounter various Kkangpae. Not only that, they need to steer clear of the hostage site, as the Captain and bartender will be executed once players are seen at a particular distance. Eliminating the hostiles stealthily will complete the mission.

The adventures of the players and the Galaxy Super Yacht take a wilder turn fitting the Grand Theft Auto name courtesy of the third mission. When players accept their mission, the Captain tells the player of a business deal they have to salvage involving the Pacific Country Club. Apparently, an unknown party has started setting club members' cars on fire, and it’s up to players to stop this. Despite its straightforward nature, the mission has a particular complexity that players need to consider.

Stealing The Tula

First, go to the LSIA to steal a Tula (an aerial firefighting plane) from the coast guard before the fire department is able to respond to the situation. When players arrive at the airport, around 10 Coast Guard members are patrolling the area. Players will notice stealth visibility cones in their minimaps, all from the Coast Guard members. Players need to steal the Tula quietly, as getting spotted will give players 2 Stars in Wanted levels.

Once players do steal the Tula, they will notice a new part of the HUD: a “Water Remaining” gauge. Players need to land on water periodically to refill it, and should do so until they have around eight water gauges. This serves as “water bombs” to wipe out the fire in the garage. After filling up the bars, players will get a text message warning them to stay out of this problem.

RELATED: Grand Theft Auto 6: Side Activities The Open World Should Include

Putting Out Fires

Players will notice eight burning cars when they arrive at the country club, all of which they have to extinguish. This becomes challenging as Kkangpae try to destroy the Tula from the ground. The added challenge here is that players only have five minutes to save all these vehicles.

When players finish this segment, the Captain will tell players that they need to go to the Pipeline Inn nearby to save yet another set of vehicles. This time around, players need to save six more vehicles within another five minutes while enemies try to destroy the Tula. After putting out all the fires, the Captain will tell players to bring the Tula back to the yacht for disposal. The mission ends when the player lands the Tula near the yacht.

Despite the difficulty of the mission, failing and restarting does get players next to the Tula without any enemies present. This allows them to simply load the Tula with water and proceed with the rest of the mission.

In the fourth mission, the Captain has begun formulating a plan for exacting vengeance against the Kkangpae for the previous mission’s kidnapping. This becomes a more action-packed take on the questline, akin to more standard missions in the title.

First, players have to go to the Fridgit Cold Storage warehouse inside the Cypress Flats. The mission will tell them to destroy all AC units that maintain the temperature of the gang’s products. During this part of the mission, the Kkangpae will attack players from Frogger choppers from the skies and from other rooftops. Players new to GTA Online need to be careful here, as they might be overwhelmed.

Next, players are asked to steal Benson, a product that the gang is currently preparing to deliver. The Captain will then tell players to deliver the product to the buyer themselves. During the process of delivery, the Kkangpae will still try to chase and attack the players from various directions and from different vehicles. The buyer is located in Del Perro’s Hedera Hotel, in an alley behind the structure. The mission is completed after players exit the vehicle.

Bon Voyage takes place during a heavy thunderstorm. At the start of this mission, the Captain tells players that the heavy rain has shut down both yacht’s engines and generators. Even the power onboard will go down, and the helicopter aboard the expensive GTA Online yacht explodes while waves of enemies slowly arrive.

The yacht usually has anti-aircraft systems, but the lack of electricity means they’re non-functional. Only the players are able to defend the yacht. This is perhaps the most difficult confrontation in the questline. Enemies will be coming from multiple fronts: enemies already onboard, those arriving from the sea, and those rappelling down from choppers.

There will be three waves of enemies of progressing difficulty. Unfortunately, players won’t be able to enter the interior of the yacht. However, players will continuously see Body Armor and Health pack pickups on the top deck just outside the bridge’s entry to give them the occasional boost.

After the second wave, the Captain will realize that the attackers are once again the Kkangpae. When players reach the third wave, the Captain will finally get power back on the yacht and activate the defenses. This gives players an offensive boost, as the Captain will be able to handle threats from the skies. After players clear the remaining threats from the boats and on the ground, they will finally complete the mission.

Grand Theft Auto Online was released for the PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS3, PC, and Xbox 360.

GTA Online Yacht Missions And Payouts

GTA Online offers a wide variety of mission chains and quests, providing players with the opportunity to earn substantial rewards. Among these missions are the Yacht missions, which are part of the "A Superyacht Life series" and become available after purchasing a Yacht. 

To assist you in completing these missions and obtaining the associated rewards, we have provided a comprehensive breakdown below. We will outline the specifics of each Yacht mission, explain the payout structure, and reveal the rewards you can expect upon completion.

GTA Online - All Yacht Missions

As part of the Los Santos Summer Special update in Grand Theft Auto Online, players can engage in a series of six missions called " A Superyacht Life. " These missions are assigned by Brendan Darcy, the captain of the player's Galaxy Super Yacht, and can be played by a group of 1 to 4 players.

Below are the descriptions of all six of these Yacht missions in GTA Online:

Mission 1: Overboard

Captain Darcy alerts the player that the yacht's jetskis and important documents, which establish both the Captain and the player as permanent residents of international waters, have been stolen. The player is instructed to proceed to the Vespucci Canals, where the joyriders were last spotted. Eliminating the thieves in this area can be challenging, but it offers decent cover and strategic shooting positions.

The Captain reveals that the culprits are members of the Puerto Del Sol yacht club, prompting the player to seek revenge. The next objective is to head to the yacht club and sink the 10 boats docked there. Time is of the essence, as a boat may attempt to escape. Sink them all, and the mission will be completed.

Mission 2: Salvage

Brendan Darcy informs the player about a distress call from a sunken supply ship nearby. They are directed to a dredge barge to collect the sunken cargo around the wrecked Olifantus ship. 

After retrieving the cargo, the player returns to find the yacht invaded by the Kkangpae. They eliminate the hijackers and receive a call from Brendan, who reveals he and the bartender have been taken hostage. The player rescues them while fending off attackers and returns to the yacht.

Mission 3: All Hands

Brendan alerts the player about a problematic business deal at the Pacific Country Club. They must steal firefighting planes from LSIA to extinguish cars set on fire by club members. Guards at the airport trigger a 2-star wanted level until the Tula is acquired.

After refueling in the air and receiving a threatening text message, the player heads to the country club. They extinguish burning vehicles while fending off Kkangpae attacks. There's a 5-minute time limit for each task. Brendan mentions additional fires at the Pipeline Inn. Returning the Tula to the yacht concludes the mission. Failing restarts at the LSIA hangar without enemies.

Mission 4: Icebreaker

Brendan Darcy devises a revenge plan against the Kkangpae for kidnapping him. The player destroys air-conditioning units at the Fridgit Cold Storage warehouse and steals the prepared product. 

The player must deliver the goods while fending off Kkangpae attacks. The mission ends when the player reaches the buyer in an alley behind the Hedera Hotel in Del Perro.

Mission 5: Bon Voyage

The mission starts with a stormy setting as the yacht's systems fail. Enemies attack from different directions, including onboard, in Dinghies, and from Buzzards. Brendan reveals that the attackers are the Kkangpae, the gang that previously kidnapped him. 

The player defends the yacht through three waves of enemies. Brendan restores power and requests the player to eliminate remaining foes on foot and in boats. The mission ends after completing this task.

Mission 5: D-Day

Brendan informs the player about the boss of a money laundering outfit staying on a heavily defended yacht. He suggests using a Kraken submersible to sneak past their defenses. The sub is located near a barge, close to the rival yacht's defensive zone patrolled by Dinghies.

While operating the sub, the player must stay low to avoid detection and navigate through underwater mines. A detection meter shows the player's visibility to the yacht's defenses, while a depth meter indicates their underwater level. Staying at a safe depth of around 275-350ft is crucial. The surrounding area is patrolled by boats, so the player must remain submerged.

Approaching the yacht's vicinity, the player resurfaces and boards the ship, engaging multiple enemies onboard. After eliminating all enemies, the boss tries to escape in a helicopter. The player must give chase, with the helicopter being escorted by two others. Dinghies also join the pursuit. The escort helicopters have gunners armed with RPGs. The target helicopter's health is displayed on-screen. Once the helicopter is destroyed and the boss is killed, Brendan suggests collecting the bounty on the boss's head, concluding the mission.

GTA Online - Yacht Missions Payouts

Currently, we don't have an exact number for the payout of each of these missions, since they depend on other factors such as the rank you play at and the amount of time the mission takes. However, we can say that the payout will be around the $38,000 mark (adjusting for the 25% increase thanks to the recent update), as after they are all complete, players will earn the Captain's Outfit as a souvenir.

So there you have it, a complete breakdown of all the Yacht missions on GTA Online as well as the Payouts you'll receive for completing them. Be sure to check back here soon, as we'll update this listing with the most relevant information as it's made available.

GTA Online’s richest players finally have something to do with their useless yachts

The purchase still isn’t ‘worth it,’ though

Share All sharing options for: GTA Online’s richest players finally have something to do with their useless yachts

In Grand Theft Auto Online — and I guess, the real world — super yachts are the ultimate symbol of wealth. I mean, have you seen Below Deck ? It just sounds like yachting is what rich people do. The thing is, yachting isn’t worthless in the real world. Sure, it’s extravagant, but it has a function. It takes you places! Unfortunately for the richest of the rich in GTA Online, that’s not the case. Super yachts in GTA Online don’t actually do anything.

Players can’t move the yacht themselves; instead, they can pay a captain $25,000 to do it for them. (Actually this is starting to sound a lot more realistic for the super rich.) Essentially, it’s an item people buy simply to flaunt their wealth, because yachts start at $6 million and only go up from there.

(There are other pricey items in GTA Online, like high-end apartments. But these have a purpose: You can make money from them by doing heists.)

But last week, developer Rockstar Games announced a new summer update, the Los Santos Summer Special . It added a bunch of stuff, including new super yacht missions. Finally, someone gave GTA Online’s super rich something to do! Wealthy GTA Online players were excited — finally, they could profit off their extravagance.

At least I enjoyed clicking the buy button from gtaonline

The Los Santos Summer Special went live on Tuesday, adding since new co-op missions to GTA Online. The missions can be played solo or with a co-op group, and you do get money from doing them. But ... it’s not a lot of money. Not even enough to pay off 1/10 the cheapest super yacht. (Rockstar is running a double rewards special until Aug. 19, however, but it still won’t make a dent in the super yacht price.)

The good news is, you will unlock the Yacht Captain outfit by completing the six new missions. Now you can flaunt your wealth on land: I’m rich enough to afford a yacht! (Or, at least, you’re friends with someone who does.) Sure, the yacht still doesn’t really do anything. But you do have a lot of internet money!

The next level of puzzles.

Take a break from your day by playing a puzzle or two! We’ve got SpellTower, Typeshift, crosswords, and more.

Michael, Franklin, and Trevor take down all their enemies: ambush FIB agents and Merryweather mercenaries at the foundry in Murrieta Heights, then target Wei Cheng, Stretch, Steve Haines and Devin Weston.

Lester's Assassinations (Side Missions)

The following are the  GTA V's Assassination Missions given by Lester Crest to Franklin. Only the first (" The Hotel Assassination ") is required for story progression, which is why it's also listed as a main story mission above.

The other four Assassinations are optional, and it's strongly advised to play them after finishing the main storyline , in order to make the most profit out of the stock market investment.

1. The Hotel Assassination

2. The Multi Target Assassination

Lester tasks Franklin to take down four corrupt jurors that are planning to throw a class-action lawsuit against Redwood Cigarettes.

3. The Vice Assassination

Franklin must find and kill Jackson Skinner, the head of product development at Facade. 

4. The Bus Assassination

Lester asks Franklin to assassinate a man called Isaac Penny, who is about to take a controlling share in the Vapid Motor Company. 

5. The Construction Assassination

In the last Assassination, Lester tells Franklin to take down Enzo Bonelli, a mafia member turned real estate developer. 

Note:  Even though  Lester's Assassination Missions  are optional (not required for story progression), they're still counted under the main "Missions" checklist, and they're still needed for 100% completion of the game.

How many missions are in GTA 5?

Despite the GTA V in-game statistics stating that the game has 69 missions , there are actually many more missions available, with branching paths and three possible endings. 

There are actually 83 available story missions in total in GTA 5, which you can find all listed on this page. However, due to the branching nature of Heist approaches, only  74 missions  are played in a single playthrough, while the others can be accessed by selecting different paths.

So why does the game's checklist show "only" 69 missions instead of 74? Well, Rockstar has decided to not include the  "Fire Truck" and "BZ Gas Grenades" heist setups in their listing, and they also don't count the 3 optional "Family Missions" that Micheal can do. This is probably so they could make a reference to the "69" number on purpose, in typical Rockstar fashion.

What do Mission Icon Colors mean in GTA 5?

Since GTA V features three playable protagonists, the game indicates with unique colors on the map the missions that can be started by the different characters:

• A blue icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Michael
• A green icon on the map shows missions that can be started by Franklin
• An orange icon on the map icon shows missions that can be started by Trevor
• If you see a question mark on the map, it's a Strangers & Freaks  side mission.

You can also see the number of missions currently available for each protagonist when switching between them via the Character Wheel.

How to Replay Missions in GTA 5

Grand Theft Auto V features mission scoring, with specific objectives (such as time, damage, accuracy, etc.) required to achieve the  Gold Medal in a mission.

Just completing a mission will give you a Bronze Medal by default. You earn a Silver Medal by meeting at least one objective, but you must complete 100% of the objectives to earn a Gold Medal.

To improve your score, you can replay the missions you already completed, by accessing the Pause Menu and going to the "Game" tab.

It's important to note that you can complete each Gold Medal requirement in multiple playthroughs of the mission - you don't need to obtain them all in one single playthrough.

Earning at least 70 Gold Medals between Missions and Strangers & Freaks is required for the  "Solid Gold, Baby!" Achievement / Trophy .

How to Play All Endings in GTA 5

If you would like to play all three endings in Grand Theft Auto V in a single playthrough, and experience what each ending has to offer, the game allows you to do so.

After completing one of the endings, you will find the ability to play the two other endings by accessing the Pause Menu, going to "Game" > Replay Mission", and scrolling all the way to the bottom.

However, this won't change the original choice you made during the course of the playthrough.

If you're unsure on what ending to choose, it's advised to first  make a save in a separate slot after completing "The Big Score" mission. At this point, you are free to experiment with choosing and playing any of the three endings, knowing that you always have a previously saved game that you can return to choose a different ending.

Unless you want to lose access to Michael or Trevor after the end of the story, we strongly recommend choosing  Ending C (Deathwish) , as that's also been confirmed to be the canon ending of the game.

More GTA 5 Side Missions

In addition to the main GTA 5 Story Mode, GTA V also features other optional side missions and activities that can be played.

These include Strangers & Freaks missions , which involve interesting characters that Michael, Franklin, or Trevor can encounter outside the main story.

There are also many  Hobbies & Pastimes and Random Events that you can take part in if you want to fully complete the game.

Gta online nightclub guide: how it works & what to buy.

Nightclubs in GTA Online can be purchased to generate income, and require a player to increase their popularity through missions and upgrades.

Quick Links

Which nightclub in gta online is best, the best nightclub upgrades to buy, how to make money with nightclubs.

The After Hours update of Grand Theft Auto Online added Nightclub properties that you can purchase as a way to generate money and increase your character's popularity. These are arguably the most expensive places to own in the game, with tons of start-up costs and maintenance fees. Beyond the visual appeal, a Nightclub has multiple uses as a place that can store your vehicles and offer various missions.

Even the most basic Nightclub in GTA Online costs around $1,000,000 of in-game money to start up , making one a huge investment right away. Any Nightclub property you purchase can be improved with cosmetic upgrades to improve interior features and the place's overall appearance. While you could just buy a Nightclub and dance at parties every night, there are other uses for these locations through Club Management.

The only way to engage with Nightclub missions in GTA Online is to reach the rank of VIP, CEO, or MC President from other jobs. Earning these titles will require purchases of other specific properties before buying a club.

10 Mistakes Everyone Makes When Playing GTA Online

There are 10 available Nightclubs you can buy, each with a price that reflects how many features it starts with. For example, the more expensive Nightclubs come with several visual attractions from the start that you don't have to add on through more purchases. Typically, pricier clubs are closer to heavily populated areas with appearances meant to attract customers from busy traffic nearby.

The best Nightclubs to buy in GTA Online are ones you can visit frequently depending on where you live in the city. Your popularity increases the more time you visit clubs you own, so having one close to your home will let you build your reputation and put the place close for when you want to manage it. Minimizing travel time will make it easier to reach your Nightclub and engage with missions there.

Perhaps the most convenient Nightclub to buy is the Downtown Vinewood Club, which sits perfectly in the middle of many other properties and homes you could live in within the city.

Many small upgrades and other enhancements to your Nightclub's appearance can be made when you buy it. However, many locations already come with different features, especially if they are in popular spots and cost more to purchase. Those who have just bought the minimum layout for a Nightclub have many different options for what changes can be made to increase the profit you get from the location.

Some available upgrades include Dancers , Costumes , a Light Rig , Dry Ice , a Garage , a Storage Facility , or even changing the Nightclub's name . There are four available storage floors you can use to keep various gear and items collected from missions. Buying a Garage in GTA Online will give you three floors of space that can each hold 10 of your cars, allowing you to keep 30 vehicles total.

10 Things To Buy First In GTA 5 Online (Weapons, Cars & Properties)

Another important upgrade you can get is the Equipment improvement, which doubles the production rate for crates and increases the productivity of warehouse technicians . You have to spend $1,425 for this content, but you can also purchase an overall upgrade to staff for $475,000 as well. Doing this will give you more help running the Nightclub and reduce the daily popularity loss of the establishment.

You'll want to spend money initially earned from a Nightclub on upgrades rather than aesthetic improvements first, so you can maximize your profit while the club retains its early popularity.

One of the biggest struggles of owning a Nightclub in GTA Online is how it will inevitably get attacked by other players. You can buy a Security upgrade for $695,000 that not only gives you armed security staff but also lowers the frequency of raid missions near the club. You also gain a gun locker in your Nightclub office along with weapon spawns in the basement, which is manned by another group of security at all times.

The most reliable ways to make money with your Nightclub is to make it as popular as possible and complete missions tied to the establishment . According to a video by YouTube creator TGG , managing the Warehouse element of a Nightclub could lead to millions of dollars in profit. Similar to how places like the Chop Shop in GTA Online can generate a ton of money, you need to pay attention to what tasks yield the most reward.

One of the most common tasks associated with your Nightclub will be to transport items back to the property. These missions are usually followed up by a job where you steal a bus full of various equipment that has to be returned to your club's location. This can be a tricky contract to complete since you have to bring the bus back in one piece while contending with the police after stealing it in GTA Online .

Increases to your Nightclub's popularity can come from throwing parties as often as possible and purchasing all the staff upgrades mentioned earlier. Completing missions will also boost your club's reputation, bringing in a much larger audience from the city. Even simple advertisements, like putting up flyers showcasing your Nightclub, can lead to small improvements in how many people show up.

The most efficient clubs can generate as much as $10,000 every in-game day, which translates to around 48 minutes of real-world playtime. You can check your safe in these establishments to collect money earned this way, but keep in mind that these containers can only hold around $70,000 at a time. Check back in with your Nightclub often in Grand Theft Auto Online to reap the rewards of some wild parties.
