List of boats

Boats, also known as Ships, are a common form of transportation in the Final Fantasy series. They are used to travel the high seas.

Pirate Ship
The Warriors of Light get a Pirate Boat from Bikke the Pirate and his men in Pravoka, after defeating them in battle. The boat can be used to travel around areas in the lower continent, like Elfheim. It can only land at docks, or when the Canoe is found, at rivers.

Leila's Boat
Leila and her gang of pirates are hired to bring Firion and his party to Deist, where she then double-crosses them and attacks. Once she is defeated, she joins the party, and thus gives them access to her boat.

Enterprise
A Viking in the Viking Base gives the party the Enterprise in exchange for defeating the Nepto Dragon. Later it is converted so that it can can change from an airship to a boat.

Unnamed Ship
Cecil Harvey, Yang Fang Leiden, Edward Chris von Muir, and Rydia travel by boat to attack Baron and save Rosa Joanna Farrell. However, along the way, Leviathan attacks and destroys the ship and the party is scattered around the world. Cecil awakes in Mysidia.

Fire-Powered Ship
The Fire-Powered Ship is the kingdom of Karnak's flagship. Designed by Cid Previa, it uses the power of the Fire Crystal to sail without relying on the wind. However, the crystal amplifier powering the ship places strain on the Fire Crystal, shattering it and rendering the ship immobile. Cid and his grandson Mid later remodel the ship to sail without the Fire Crystal, and the player party uses it to travel to Crescent. Unfortunately, the ship gets sucked into the Catapult during an earthquake. It remains there for the rest of the game.

Airship
The unnamed airship of Final Fantasy V can land in water and thus be used as a boat. It was built by an ancient civilization and is discovered in the Catapult.

Unnamed Boat
A boat is used a ferry service between the ports of South Figaro and Nikeah, even after the world ends. Leviathan can sometimes attack it in the World of Ruin in the GBA version. Also, the Gestahlian Empire supplies the party, along with General Leo, with a boat, to go on a mission to get goodwill of the Espers.

Cargo Ship


A Cargo Ship connects the ports of Junon and Costa del Sol. Rufus Shinra uses it to travel to the western continent to find Sephiroth, while Cloud's party comes onboard as stowaways. Afterwards, it can be used freely for 250 gil, and can transport the buggy to the eastern continent.

Tiny Bronco


Though originally a small plane, the Tiny Bronco is shot down by Shinra soldiers, and crashes into the ocean. Afterwards it is used as a crude boat, traveling through shallow water and rivers, until it disappears in disc 2.

Alexandrian Fleet
Queen Brahne leads the Alexandrian naval forces, which consists of a sizeable fleet capable of cannon fire. The ships are commandeered by both Alexandrian soldiers and by Black Mages. Brahne brings a large portion of her navy to the Iifa Tree's shores with the intent of ridding Kuja from her plans for world domination. The Queen summons Bahamut, but her strategy backfires when Kuja calls the Invincible and takes control of the Eidolon. Kuja orders Bahamut to wipe Brahne out with a devastating Mega Flare attack, destroying her and the majority of her fleet.

Garnet and her mother traveled to Alexandria long before the game's start on a tiny boat. Zidane and Garnet find a similar boat in Madain Sari which triggers Garnet's memories.

Traveling between Selbina and Mhaura requires no special effort, but in order to get to Aht Urhgan Whitegate, players must complete a quest to get a "Boarding Permit."

The Manaclipper is a different sort of ship. It operates as a sea tour for people wanting to see the beautiful waters around Bibiki Bay. This is also one of the only ways to get to the tropical island of Purgonorgo.
