Overview

The Vapid Police Launch is a boats & watercraft-class watercraft from Vapid, takes advantage of Leonida's vast network of canals, harbors, and open ocean. Drawing clear inspiration from the Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless, it brings bold American automotive muscle to the streets of Vice City.

In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Vapid Police Launch benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.

Real-World Counterpart

Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless

The real-world Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless by Boston Whaler serves as the primary design inspiration. GTA 6's interpretation preserves the signature proportions and key design language while applying Rockstar's characteristic satirical modifications to badges, grille patterns, and taillight clusters.

Customization Options

Rideout Customs support includes custom hull wraps, upgraded propulsion, marine audio systems, and deck lighting packages.

How to Get It

Purchasable from in-game DockTease marina dealerships in Vice City.

Theft & Security Advisory: In GTA 6, car theft utilizes security tiers. High-end modern vehicles require key-cloning tools or the WAINK scanner to disable vehicle immobilizers and police GPS tracking before storage.
