The Dinghy is a small boat which appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
Description
In games prior to GTA IV, the Dinghy is depicted as the smallest boat in the games, only being able to hold one person; in GTA IV, however, it holds a maximum of four people. It has two motors, making it the most maneuverable boat in the games. In GTA IV, it resembles a military RHIB (Rigid-Hull Inflatable Boat), and is available with one or two motors. It is also lightweight, so it has the potential to go very fast. Despite its construction, inflatable portions of the Dinghy do not deflate or burst when shot.

Trivia
- In GTA San Andreas, the default radio station in the Dinghy is CSR 103.9. Oddly, almost every time it plays the "Motownphilly" song, as it would be set to play each time.
- There's a visual effect glitch that has Carl go into an "invisible chair" sitting position for one second as he changes the radio station.
- In GTA IV, the default radio station in the Dinghy is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
