Viceport Boatyard

Overview

The Viceport Boatyard is the cheapest business asset in GTA Vice City. On paper it builds fast boats; in practice it is a front for smuggling drugs by sea. Its two workers are quick to explain the real business once Tommy Vercetti takes over.

Location and purchase

The boatyard sits on the waterfront in Viceport on the mainland. It costs $10,000 and, like the other businesses, goes on sale after the Vercetti Estate mission Shakedown.

Income and benefits

Completing its single asset mission, Checkpoint Charlie, pays $5,000 and unlocks income of up to $2,000 per in-game day, collected at the boatyard. The mission can be replayed at higher difficulty levels for extra cash.

Tips

• Checkpoint Charlie asks you to collect packages scattered across the waterways against a short timer. Take the Squalo, the faster of the two boats at the jetty.
• Learn the route on a first attempt rather than fighting the clock blindly.
• Income stops accumulating at the cap, so drop by regularly.
