In much of its appearances, the Dinghy is depicted as the smallest boat in the games, only being able to hold one person. For 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.

  • In GTA IV, the Dinghy resembles a military RHIB (Rigid-Hull Inflatable Boat), is available with one or two motors, and can hold a maximum of four people.

Due to its size and lightweight construction, the boat is nimble and maneuverable, and has the potential to reach a moderately high top speed. Despite its construction, inflatable portions of the Dinghy do not deflate or burst when shot.
