In Dead Sails, hand-to-hand combat won't get you far. To effectively defeat mobs and secure valuable loot, you need to be armed and dangerous.

Boats in Dead Sails are not just for transportation; they serve as oversized inventory bags. With a team, you can shuttle loot back and forth to sell for a good profit. While there's no difference in speed or size, the aesthetics can make a big impact:
