The boat is very large, and as expected for a vehicle of its size, is very slow, even more so than a [[Reefer]]. The Tug Boat also possesses heavy control and very poor stopping power (due to the vehicle being a watercraft, coupled with its weight). The Tug Boat is by far the largest controllable boat in the game, and probably the entire series thus far, boasting a huge and sturdy [[wp:Hull (watercraft)|hull]], and a three-storey [[wp:superstructure|superstructure]] (including a [[wp:funnel|funnel]]) with the [[wp:Bridge (nautical)|bridge]] attached on the top (other portions of the superstructure are inaccessible).In the Lost And Damned the tug's front is extended a tiny bit. The Tug Noat has an obvious industrial use in GTA IV, and it is most likely used to move the large garbage boats dotted around the cities waters.

* When the boat explodes, it will keel over just like wrecks seen around the south coast of Alderney. Though the boat is very difficult to destroy due to it's huge size.
* When in the water, the player can board the ship by pressing "Enter Vehicle", and the player will do a leap for the side, but often cannot climb up onto the deck. If that does not work then players can park another boat alongside, jump on it and then jump on the Tug.
