The short version

  • Part of the Ultimate Edition's Jason's Safehouse Vehicles benefit, with the Dinka Enduro.
  • Kayaking is a confirmed GTA VI activity.
  • A paddle craft reaches shallow water that boats cannot.
  • No handling or capacity details have been announced.

Rockstar gives the Crest Kayak half a sentence. It shares the Ultimate Edition's Jason's Safehouse Vehicles benefit with a motorcycle: 'Switch gears and soak up the sun in an Army fatigue-tinged Dinka Enduro motorcycle or Crest Kayak.'

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 the images show

Rockstar's product shot is captioned 'Jason sailing through the water in an orange Crest Kayak, shirtless'. The safehouse image shows the same orange kayak on the ground beside the Enduro and Jason's Vapid Ganado.

A new kind of vehicle

The GTA Wiki lists no kayak and no Crest brand in any earlier Grand Theft Auto.

Kayaking was shown as a shared activity for Jason and Lucia in Rockstar's Extended Look.

Frequently asked questions

How do you get the Crest Kayak?

It is part of the Ultimate Edition's Jason's Safehouse Vehicles benefit, alongside the Dinka Enduro.

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.
