Increase boat speed in Witcher 3

Increase boat speed in Witcher 3 - White and Black Sail Boat on Ocean

Is there any way (using console or otherwise) to increase the speed of the boats in the game it's just too slow for me (a lot of stuff in Skellige is accessible by boat only) .



Best Answer

Similar to horses, double tapping the acceleration key (A on the controller) does make the boat go faster. This is not indicated in the UI, so it's easy to miss.

But by far the quickest way is to use harbors, they're fast travel points for boats. They are only visible on the map when you're at the helm of a boat. Just open the map while you're on a boat and look for anchor symbols.

Merchants on Skellige also sell maps that reveal fast travel points on specific islands. Those will remove the need for a first boat trip there.

How do you speed up a boat?

You can't. Boats are not repairable. If it is broken, leave it behind and look for a new one.

How do you control your boat in Witcher 3?

Boats are simple enough to board; just walk right onto them. If Geralt finds himself already in the water, he may swim up to the side of the boat and heave himself aboard with the same controls you use to jump. To take control of the boat, proceed to the helm and press the appropriate button when prompted.
