You can get your own boat as part of the Sailing skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS), and you can even move and teleport it around without actually sailing on it!
This is convenient when you wish to make sure of fast travel and the like. It saves you time as you don’t need to actually sail if you can just summon your boat to where you are.
In this quick guide, we’ll tell you about every method to teleport your boat.
How to Move/Teleport Your Boat | OSRS – Sailing Update
Warning About Cargo
Before we go over how to move or teleport your boat, we have a warning! If you plan to use the teleportation before you get off your boat, make sure that your boat’s cargo is empty.
This is because all of your cargo will be lost upon teleportation. It’s true for every method, no ifs, ands, or buts! Make sure there’s nothing precious in your cargo before using any of the following methods.
With that said, let’s start with the simplest method!
Retrieve Boat at Shipwright
For this one, just talk to any Shipwright at a dock and select Recover Boat. For a small gold fee, Port Wizard Peter will appear and teleport your boat to the dock.
Do note that the price varies depending on your boat type and its damage, if any. The bigger the boat and the more damaged it is, the higher the feet!
Boat Bottle
For the second method, you’ll need to get a Boat Bottle. This is a very rare item that can appear as loot while Salvaging. Alternatively, you can buy it from other players in the Grand Exchange as long as you’re not in Ironman mode.
Once used, you’ll be able to pick which boat to transfer into the bottle. You can then use the Bottled Boat at any docking point to instantly spawn it.
Do note, however, that the Boat Bottle is a consumable. It will be lost as soon as you retrieve your boat from inside it! Keep that in mind.
Summon Boat
Lastly, for the final method, you’ll need to reach Level 56 Magic and Level 55 Sailing. Level 49 Construction is also recommended here.
With those requirements met, you’ll need to use the ship customization interface to build and place a Teleport Focus on your boat. It requires the following materials:
- Mahogany Planks x8
- Mithril Nails x32
- Lead Bars x4
- Magic Stone x1
Once you’ve built and placed the Teleport Focus on your boat, you can use the Summon Boat spell on it. This spell is available in the standard spellbook and can be used at any docking point out in the world.
By casting the spell, your boat will be teleported to the docking point you’re at. It’s as simple and convenient as that! No fees or consumables required, but the cargo on the ship before teleportation will still be lost…
That’s all of the methods you can use to move and teleport your boat around in OSRS! Well, besides just sailing around on the thing, of course… but that doesn’t count here!
