GTA Online: What's the Fastest Boat? The Complete Ranking (2026)
From the Shitzu Longfin's 122 mph top speed down to budget picks under $20,000, here is every fast boat in GTA Online ranked, with prices and where to buy each one in 2026.
Water covers a huge share of Los Santos, and once you own a boat, races across the bay, escapes from Merryweather, and cargo runs stop being a chore. But GTA Online's boat roster spans nearly 20 vehicles with wildly different top speeds, so picking the wrong one wastes money. Here is the complete 2026 ranking, fastest to slowest, with prices and where to buy each one.
The essentials:
- Fastest boat overall: Shitzu Longfin, 122.00 mph (196.34 km/h), $2,125,000 at Docktease.com.
- Best value speedboat: Speedophile Seashark, 67.00 mph (107.83 km/h) for just $16,899.
- Best armed speedboat: Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy - matches the standard Dinghy's speed and adds a mounted machine gun.
- Utility boats (the Kosatka submarine, tugs, patrol boats) are not built for speed and sit well below this list.

Speeds are the in-game stat shown on Docktease.com and confirmed by community testing; real-world results shift slightly with upgrades, water conditions and whether you are riding solo or with passengers.
1. Shitzu Longfin - the fastest boat in the game, by a wide margin
The Longfin is not close to anything else on this list. At 122 mph it beats the second-fastest boat, the Weaponized Dinghy, by more than 50 mph. It handles like a proper offshore racer: low profile, sharp turning, and a hull built to stay flat at speed instead of bouncing off every wave. The catch is the price. At $2,125,000 it costs more than most supercars, and it seats only two, so it is a toy for players who already have their business income sorted, not a starter boat.
If you only care about outright speed on open water, the Longfin is the only real answer. Everything else on this list is a compromise between speed, price and utility.
2 to 4. The Nagasaki Dinghy family
The Dinghy line proves that GTA Online's second-fastest boat does not have to be expensive. The 4-seater Dinghy costs $166,250 and matches the 71.50 mph top speed of the far pricier Weaponized Dinghy ($1,850,000), which trades nothing in speed for a mounted machine gun useful in Cayo Perico-style setups and PvP encounters on the water. The 2-seater Dinghy is not purchasable through Docktease.com; it mainly shows up as a mission or Freemode spawn.
For most players doing business battles, moving cargo between boats, or just wanting a fast, cheap runabout, the standard 4-seater Dinghy is the best speed-per-dollar boat in the game.
5. Pegassi Speeder - the balanced pick
At $325,000 and 68.25 mph, the Speeder sits in the middle of the pack on both price and speed. What it offers instead is comfort: a covered cabin, a smoother ride in choppy water, and enough seating to ferry a small crew. It is the boat to buy if you want something you will still enjoy using after the novelty of top speed wears off.
6. Speedophile Seashark - the budget king
The Seashark is a jet ski, not a full boat, but it earns its spot here: 67.00 mph for $16,899 is the best speed-to-price ratio on this entire list, and the Lifeguard variant (not purchasable) proves Rockstar built it as the everyday, low-friction way to get across water fast. If your garage budget is tight, this is the boat that gets you moving without draining your bank account.
7 to 8. Shitzu Squalo and Shitzu Tropic
The Squalo ($196,621, 65.75 mph) and the Tropic ($22,000, 63.25 mph) are both solid mid-tier speedboats, useful for casual races or just cruising the coastline. Neither stands out next to the Dinghy or the Seashark, but the Tropic in particular is a cheap way to have a presentable speedboat in your garage without spending real money on a business.
9 to 10. Shitzu Suntrap and Lampadati Toro
Once you drop below 51 mph, boats stop being about speed and start being about looks or utility. The Suntrap ($25,160) is a stylish, affordable cruiser. The Toro ($1,750,000) is expensive for its 50.25 mph top speed, but it is popular for its looks and interior space rather than performance - most owners buy it to relax on, not to race.
Which boat should you actually buy?
- Pure speed, money is no object: Shitzu Longfin.
- Best speed for the price: Nagasaki Dinghy (4-seater).
- Need weapons on the water: Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy.
- Tight budget: Speedophile Seashark.
- Comfort over speed: Pegassi Speeder or Lampadati Toro.
Boats matter more than they used to. If you are running the Cayo Perico Heist, you already depend on the Kosatka submarine to reach the island, and a fast speedboat shaves real minutes off the approach and getaway. Vehicle-focused players moving cars for the Import/Export business can apply the same logic on land with the fastest cars in GTA Online. And if you are still building up cash to afford any of the boats above, check the best ways to make money fast in GTA Online in 2026 before you buy.
None of this will matter once GTA 6 arrives on 19 Nov 2026 with its own vehicle roster, but for now, on the water in Los Santos, the Longfin is king and the Dinghy is the smart buy.
