Tug Boat

The Tug Boat is a very large and very slow boat in Grand Theft Auto IV. It can usually be found near the barges in the Humboldt River between the Broker and Algonquin bridges. It can also be found in the dock in the south east of Alderney. It is the largest boat in the game, and probably the entire series thus far.

Whilst on the Tug Boat, the player cannot run. However, pressing the correct button to board the ship will also cause the player to automatically walk to the wheel of the boat. As this vehicle can only properly contain one person in multiplayer (the driver), others can still stand on the deck, however all other characters will lose some control of their characters making it really hard for them to move. When the boat is moving, any other character on the boat will also begin to glide off slowly, and if anyone stands at the front of the boat they can actually pass through the built up area of the boat and see the water beneath it.

Trivia

  • When the boat explodes, it will keel over just like the wreckage seen around the coasts of Alderney.
  • When on the Tug Boat, if the player aims with the pistol they can walk faster.
  • When in the water, the player can board the ship by pressing 'jump', and the player will do a giant leap for the side.
  • On multi-player, when a person is flying one of the helicopters they can knock the tug by clipping the top of it.
