'''Viceport''' (rarely spelled as '''Vice Port''') is an industrial area in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]. There are many laborers working in this district; and as a result most of the traffic is for commercial purposes. A [[Boatyard]] is also located here among the many warehouses, which would eventually be purchased by the [[Vercetti Gang]] circa [[1986]], the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. There are also freight ships surrounding the whole district. One of these freighters is owned by the [[Vice City Triads]], and is believed to be used for a large-scale counterfeit operation. The Triads pay the [[Patrol Invest Group]] to keep trespassers off the ship. Due to the fact that the Triads have their freighter there, it's considered that Viceport is Triads turf, with the exception of the Boatyard. A [[Chartered Libertine Lines]] boat is docked in the boatyard. Industrial vehicles are seen driving around, with a [[Squalo]] and [[Jetmax]] parked at [[Tommy Vercetti|Tommy Vercetti's]] boatyard, although entering them activates a side mission.


Geographically, Viceport is located on the south-eastern side of [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]], between [[Escobar International Airport]], [[Little Havana]], and the ocean.
'''Viceport''' (rarely spelled as '''Vice Port''') is a district and the principal seaport in [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]].


Also, in [[1984]], the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the Viceport district houses the [[Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound]]. A [[Pay'n'  Spray]] is found here.
== Character ==
Viceport is located on the southeastern peninsular of [[Vice City Mainland]], neighboring [[Little Havana]] to the north and [[Escobar International Airport]] to the west. As expected for a seaport, the district primarily contains port facilities and warehouses, and large shipping vessels dock on the southern and eastern shorelines of the seaport. Laborers and commercial/industrial traffic are common in the district.


==Businesses==
Viceport's boundaries also extended further southeast into the bay towards [[Vice City Beach]], encompassing a set of stilt houses drawing inspiration from the real-life [[wp:Stiltsville|Stiltsville]]. In GTA Vice City, there are only three such structures, one of which has partially fallen apart; GTA Vice City Stories modifies the area to include four stilt houses, which are all in good condition and connected by an extensive network of concrete and wooden piers and is also secured by wooden guard towers.

*[[Boatyard]]
Viceport contains [[Boatyard]], a boat-building facility which would eventually be purchased by the [[Vercetti Gang]] circa [[1986]] in GTA Vice City. After purchase, a [[Squalo]] and a [[Jetmax]] will be found docked at the Boatyard, although entering them activates [[Checkpoint Charlie|a side mission]]. One of Viceport's container ships in GTA Vice City is also owned by the [[Vice City Triads]], and is believed to be used for a large-scale counterfeit operation and is protected by [[Patrol Invest Group]] guards to keep trespassers off the ship. A [[Chartered Libertine Lines]] ship (implied to be [[Les Cargo]] in GTA III) is also docked at Viceport in GTA Vice City. In GTA Vice City Stories, set in [[1984]], the Viceport district also houses the [[Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound]], [[Phil's Depot]] and [[Phil's Shooting Range]].
