Shitzu Squalo

A white sports cruiser with Squalo and a shark-fin mark on the hull. It comes from Rockstar's Ultimate Edition renders, under a name Rockstar itself uses, and it is the first Shitzu on file.

The hull is white with a sheerline that sweeps up towards a raked, wraparound screen, and a tall arch rises over the cockpit behind it. A long oval vent grille with vertical slats is set into the topsides near the stern, and a cleat sits on the gunwale above it. Squalo is written on the flank in a heavy rounded script with only the S as a capital, and a filled shark-fin shape stands in front of the word. On the leg of the arch sits a small teardrop badge with a fin motif; the word under it is too small to read on the render, and Shitzu comes from Rockstar’s own naming of the boat rather than from that badge.

In the wide render the boat is under way in front of the lit skyline, a white wave at its bow, with two people at the helm, a man in a white shirt and a woman in dark blue. It wears the Ultimate Edition finish: a pink-to-blue gradient over the white with a pale palm-frond pattern across it. A registration is painted on the bow topsides, reading VB 0522 05. Two long rods angle back from the top of the arch, a bow rail runs forward from the screen, a green navigation light shows on the side of the arch facing us, which is the starboard side, and a yellow tank is fixed to the rail on the swim platform.

Shitzu is one of the series’ older boat builders, and the Squalo was a Shitzu in GTA 5, so the nameplate returns rather than arrives. The GTA 5 boat was an open speedboat; this is a cabin cruiser with a raked screen and an arch, so it is the name coming back on a different hull.

How to recognise it

• Squalo in heavy rounded script with a shark-fin mark ahead of it
• Teardrop badge with a fin motif on the leg of the arch; its lettering does not read at this size
• Registration VB 0522 05 on the topsides, forward of the screen
• Long oval vent grille with vertical slats in the topsides
• Raked wraparound screen and a sheerline that sweeps up to it
• Two long rods angled back from the top of the arch, bow rail forward
• A yellow tank on the rail of the swim platform at the transom

What we know

The four renders of this boat come from a download bundle Rockstar’s media page calls Ultimate Edition Benefits, and the files inside it are prefixed ULTIMATE_EDITION_. That makes the Squalo bonus content in the $99.99 Ultimate Edition, on Rockstar’s own filing rather than on anybody’s reading of it. Its product page lists the boat among the Ultimate Edition’s items and describes it: Perfect for casting in Gambit Bay and reeling in catches of all sorts, this gradient pink and blue Squalo docked at Washington Beach is made open-ocean-ready with an explosives-laden weapons crate.

We have not seen this boat in either trailer, in the Extended Look or in the press screenshots, so we cannot say whether the Ultimate Edition version differs from a boat the base game also carries.

How this was measured

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

• We have not seen this boat in either trailer, in the Extended Look or in the press screenshots. This page is built from studio renders on Rockstar’s own site, made for the Ultimate Edition, so we cannot say how it looks or behaves in the game.
• Whether the pink and blue gradient is an Ultimate Edition scheme over a boat that also comes in plain white, or the only one it has
• Whether Shitzu builds anything else in this game. This is the only one on file
• The donor. The proportions read as a thirty-foot sports cruiser and we are not narrowing it further from renders
• Where Washington Beach, where Rockstar says it is docked, and Gambit Bay are on the map
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, price, where it spawns

A note on this record

Rebuilt on 22 September 2026 against the 4K renders, with a reading record on both crops. One thing changed. The page read SHITZU off the badge on the screen pillar; on the true pixel grid that word does not pass the floor this site reads by, so the maker's name now rests on Rockstar's own naming of the boat: Shitzu Squalo is the title of its Ultimate Edition item on Rockstar's site, while the alt text of the renders says only Squalo (corrected on 28 September 2026; this note had put the maker in the alt text). The check of 20 September stands: the registration VB 0522 05 is on the page, and the crop was widened for the outriggers. Checked again on 25 September 2026 at 1:1 against both crops. The badge sits on the leg of the arch, not on a screen pillar. The green light is on the starboard side, the side the render shows, not the port side. The two rods rise from the top of the arch, not from the stern quarters. The paragraph on the third and fourth renders came out, with the sun pad and the size estimate that rested on them, because neither render is shown on this page.
