Personal vessels
Personal vessels are a class of ship in Ashes of Creation.[2][3][4] These are targeted at personal/solo naval content.[4]
- These boats are abled to be acquired early on, and can be used for activities such as fishing and coastal travel.[1]
- Players will have quests that navigate them toward creating a personal vessel at around level 10-15.[3]
- Personal vessels do not require an established harbor to launch from.[1]
- Small vessels can support up to 3 players.[5]

Ships
Sailing will be pretty in-depth and it's going to be based on the size of the ship that you're using. So there will be components for seamanship that other players you will need to have on board if you want to operate a vessel to the best of it's skills: Let's say in combat or traversing just the world.[7] – Steven Sharif
Ships are vehicles in Ashes of Creation. Ships are owned by the player who has the ship item in their inventory. Only that player can summon the ship.[8][9]
- Ship creation is generally delegated to players. There won't be many non-player-owned ships.[10]
- For the most part all ship creation will be delegated to the player. You have to build up a ship or find somebody who has one if you want to get across the seas.[10] – Steven Sharif
- Ship owners are able to grant permissions to allow other players to navigate their ships and access certain ship functions.[12][9]
- Ship navigators receive a significant defensive buff while they are navigating the ship. This reduces CC effects and increases damage mitigation significantly.[12]
- If the ship navigator is killed or otherwise removed from the ship then any player will be able to navigate the ship for a period of 15 to 20 minutes before the ship despawns and becomes a wreckage.[12]
- Other ship permissions may include operating weapons, anchors, and utility items.[9]
- Players will have quests that lead set them on a path toward creating a personal vessel at around level 10-15.[3]
- Player merchants will not be able to be placed on ships.[13]
- Nothing can move or or block ships, apart from other ships. Ships collisions come with the risk of significant damage to the vessels involved.[14][8]
- We adhere to some semblance of real physics feelings with regards to these vehicles; and so ships do have the potential to be pushed in different directions and out of the way for each other. That is an intended collision experience that we want ships to have. But it should come with significant risk and potential damage to the vessels themselves.[14] – Steven Sharif
Ship classes
Ships are divided into classes of vessel, which relate to their size and capabilities in battle and in transportation.[2][16][4]
| Size | Type | Usage.[4] | Crew.[5] |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Personal vessels.[3] | Solo/personal content.[2] | 1-3 |
| Medium | Frigates.[17] | Group content.[2] | Group size (8) |
| Large | Galleons.[18][19] | Raid content.[2] | Raid size (40) |
The amount of crew required in order for a ship to be effective depends on the ship's class.[20]
- All ship classes minimally require a captain to drive the ship.[20]
- Certain ship classes will have the ability to render Crowd control (CC) effects on other ships, such as a harpoon effects.[21]
- Ships have their own class of vessel and the class that is related to the vessel has a certain purpose both in battle, in PvE raids, in transportation.[16] – Steven Sharif
Fishing boats
Fishing boats in Ashes of Creation are utilized in deep sea fishing.[23][24][25][26][27][28][29]
Raft caravans
Caravans are capable of transitioning from land to raft caravans. So if you start out as a land-based Caravan and you move to the coast and you want to move into the water there's gonna be a little transition period there; it's gonna be a little construction site: You're not gonna have to do anything it's just gonna be a timer right so that you can't quickly move between land and water. It's gonna be probably in the matter of a minute to two minutes. There's a little bit of vulnerability in that regard.[31] – Steven Sharif
Raft caravans (also referred to as Naval caravans) allow the transportation of cargo over the water.[32][33][34][35]
- Unlike merchant ships, raft caravans are capable of transitioning to and from land caravans at the point of intersection of land and water.[33][34][36][31][35]
- Raft caravans may only be used in rivers.[37]
- Currently the stats of the raft are informed by the components of the caravan. This may be changed based on testing.[38][31]
- By default, raft caravans have a racial appearance. Players will be able to apply caravan skins to change this appearance.[31]

Naval content refers to content above and below the sea.[17][41]
- Aquatic mounts.[41]
- Coastal nodes.[17][42]
- Fortresses.[17]
- Harbors.[43][44][17]
- Island chains.[41]
- Raft caravans.[45]
- Naval NPCs.[17]
- Naval PvP.[45]
- Quests.[17]
- Raids.[17][45]
- Ships.[17][41]
- Trade routes.[41]
- Treasure hunting.[17][41]
- Underwater dungeons.[45]
Enhanced naval content was unlocked as part of the $1,500,000 Kickstarter stretch goal.[46]
There will not initially be naval content (such as a Dark Lake) in the Underrealm, but this may be something that gets added in future expansions.[47]
There won't be class abilities that are specific to naval content, but some utility skills (such as underwater breathing) may be of some benefit.[48]
