| “ | Did I ever tell you the story about how I got into the Seaskipper business in the first place? You see, my brothers inherited everything my father had. Land, emeralds, everythin'. All I got was this little boat. So I had to find some way to make money with it. So I started takin' people on rides across the Ocean, and here I am! | „ |
| ~ Seaskipper Captain |
The V.S.S Seaskipper is a unique fast-travel feature added in the Wynncraft 1.14.1 Update, which allows quick travel to ports all over the Ocean, for a fee of a couple emeralds,. Seaskipper docks are located on almost every major island in the ocean, as well as the port cities of Nemract, Selchar and Llevigar. The ship is captained by the Seaskipper Captain, who will converse with you on your voyage, and occasionally gift you odd items for your time.
To sail on the vessel, you have to right click the sign in the middle of the boat to purchase a Boat Pass. Before the 1.20.2 update, you had to purchase a Boat Pass from a Seasail Merchant, who is usually located nearby the ship. Prices varied depending on the distance between the starting and the destination ports.
If you are in a party, one Boat Pass is enough to move everyone standing on the boat.

Trivia
- The name "Seaskipper" is a play on the ship's in-game use, which is to skip large portions of the Ocean.
- You have a chance to get random items by using the Seaskipper. This could be a dungeon key or even gold blocks that can be sold in Selchar.
- There used to be a bell you could ring by pressing a button on the ship's wooden post. The button was removed and the bell was replaced with a custom model, which can be rung by clicking it.
- If you look out on either side of the boat, fish can be seen leaping out of the water.
- If multiple players are present on the boat and a pass is bought, they all get sent on the trip.
- If the player finishes the quest Misadventure on the Sea before ever riding the Seaskipper, he will say unique dialogue as follows- "This is your first time legitimately riding my boat, eh? I 'ought that pirate adventure would've scarred you!" This will only play when meeting the conditions above.
- He used to give you fish that you could sell to Fish Merchants when they were still around.
- The Seaskipper has a Corkian Sail, likely imbued with electromagic, that allows it to sail in rivers, revealed in the Captain's dialogue.
- The company "Seasail Enterprises" is implied in one of the unique dialogues that play when a Talking Mushroom is brought aboard to be a small business with only one operating ship, that being the Seaskipper, as the Captain rejects the idea of buying other ships and expanding business.
- You used to be able to travel directly to a destination if you brought an extra legacy Boat Pass to a minor port without stopping at one of the major ports first.
- After unlocking The Nexus, the only remaining uses of the Seaskipper are to travel to minor islands and fast travel to Nesaak.
