'''Boat''' is an [[Adventure Map]] object that allows [[hero]]es to move over [[water]] [[tile]]s. A boat can carry only one hero and their army at a time. If a hero on a boat is defeated in a combat, the boat disappears.

Boats can be built on [[shipyard]]s, which are always located next to a shoreline. Additionally, [[Castle]], [[Necropolis]], [[Fortress]] [[Conflux]] and [[Cove]]{{-}}{{withhota}} towns can build shipyards if the town is next to a shoreline. Boats cost 10 {{W}} and 1000 {{G}} when build in shipyards. Additionally, boats can be acquired with a [[Summon Boat]] spell, if at least one unoccupied boat exists on the map. However, with advanced [[water magic]], Summon Boat spell creates a new boat if there are none available on the Adventure Map. Also, [[Sea Captain's Hat]] allows a hero to cast summon boat spell even if the hero has not learned it.

Boarding or disembarking from a boat takes the remainder of a hero's [[movement]] allowance for the current day. Disembarking is possible to any clear square of land, except if the tile has a [[hole]] in it. It is impossible to disembark to a square with a hole, but it is possible to board a boat from a square with a hole.

There is a limit of 64 boats on the map.

A hero on a boat can also visit and pick up objects on water. While sailing on a boat the hero can:
* gather [[Flotsam]], which may provide {{W}} [[wood]] and/or {{G}} [[gold]]
* gather [[Sea Chest]]s, which may provide {{G}} gold or an treasure class [[artifact]]
* rescue a [[Shipwreck Survivor]], who will always provide an artifact as a reward
* search [[Shipwreck]]s and [[Derelict Ship]]s to fight guardians for gold and artifacts
* meet up with [[Mermaids]] for a [[luck]] bonus
* investigate [[Buoy]]s and get better [[morale]]
* visit [[Sirens]], which causes the hero to lose 30% (rounded down) of each stack in the hero's army and gain experience equal to the health of the lost troops.
* go through one [[Whirlpool]] and end up in another.
* read messages from [[Ocean bottle]]s.
