The short version

Two of the vehicles in the Ultimate Edition move under their own power. This one does not.
Kayaking is a confirmed GTA VI activity, and in a state with a wetland and an island chain, a hull that draws almost no water goes places a speedboat cannot.

Where a kayak actually helps
Grassrivers is a wetland of shallow channels through sawgrass and mangrove.
Depth is the whole point
A speedboat needs water under it. A kayak needs almost none.
If the region is built to be explored rather than driven past, a paddle craft is the tool for it.
It is also silent
That matters in a game with confirmed prone movement, body carrying and non-lethal options.
Whether the game actually models noise that way is not confirmed, and our non-lethal page covers what would need to be true.
What it says about the Ultimate Edition
The vehicle set is not a performance package.
One for each way of moving
Read as a set rather than a list, the logic is obvious.
- Supercar. The '95 Cheetah, for road
- Period muscle build. The '67 Dominator Buggy, for sand
- Dual-sport bike. The Enduro, for trails
- Speedboat. The Squalo, for open water
- Kayak. For water too shallow for the Squalo
It is a preview of the traversal
Five vehicles, five surfaces.
That is a reasonable sketch of how varied moving around Leonida is meant to be.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get the Crest Kayak?
It is included with the Ultimate Edition at $99.99.
Can you kayak in GTA 6?
Yes. Kayaking is one of the confirmed activities.
Where would you use a kayak in GTA 6?
Rockstar has not specified. Grassrivers is a shallow wetland and the Leonida Keys are an island chain, so both are plausible.
