Water taxi

Name not confirmed

Rockstar has not named this vehicle

So we describe it by what is actually visible in the footage. We do not invent a name to fill the gap.

When the real name is confirmed, this page moves to that name and this address keeps working.

A canopied passenger boat on a city waterway in the Extended Look, with people seated and standing under a roof on posts behind yellow rails, on a yellow hull over a white lower band.

The boat is an open passenger craft under a canopy roof carried on posts, light along its edge and dark underneath, with a curved section at the left-hand end. Under the roof the passengers can be made out one by one: several seated along the rail, among them a man with white hair at the left, a man in a hat standing near the middle with something in his hands, and others standing further to the right. Yellow railings run around the deck at waist height, and the hull below them is yellow over a white lower band that carries yellow and red markings.

Two life rings are in view: an orange one on a post in the left half of the deck and a red one at the right-hand end of the rail. A short run of yellow steps closes the rail at the left-hand end, between two grey posts. Until 27 September 2026 this page had a single ring, at the stern, and put the board on the starboard rail; which end is the bow the crop does not settle, since the canopy curves down at the left and the hull rises at the right, so the page now says left and right.

It is on the same stretch of water as the kayaks at 17:28.93, and the same frame holds a motor yacht to its right and the elevated rail viaduct behind it. Inside this crop there are trees on the bank behind it, above a pale blue-grey wall.

There is lettering in at least three places: along the edge of the canopy at the left, on a white board with two yellow blocks and an orange emblem on the rail at the right, and in dark characters on the yellow hull band. All of it sits far under this site’s letter floor, so the page notes that it is there and does not read it; the heights are in the lettering table. Until 27 September this page counted two places.

How to recognise it

  • Canopy roof on posts over an open passenger deck, curved at the left-hand end
  • Yellow railings around the deck at waist height
  • Passengers seated and standing under the canopy
  • Yellow hull over a white lower band with yellow and red markings
  • Two life rings, orange and red, and a short run of yellow steps at the left-hand end
  • Lettering on the canopy edge, on a board at the rail and on the hull, all under the letter floor

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 17:28.93. It is 3840 by 2160, and the vehicle occupies 537 by 259 of it. Also in it: the elevated rail viaduct, Crest Kayak, and a motor yacht.

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

  • Any livery or operator lettering. None is legible.
  • Which end is the bow. The crop shows the boat side-on and the two ends disagree.
  • Whether it runs a fixed route, and whether you can ride it
  • Whether it is drivable
  • Everything measured: top speed, capacity, where it spawns
