In Black Desert Online, boats have different lifespans depending on their tier. Lower-tier boats, such as the fishing boat and Epheria Cog, have limited lifespans and are destroyed when they run out of durability. Higher-tier boats, on the other hand, are permanent and can be repaired at a Wharf Manager if they are destroyed in combat. Players can acquire lower-tier boats by buying them from the Central Market or crafting them, while higher-tier boats may require significant sea play time and investment.
| Characteristics | Values |
|---|---|
| Boats with limited lifespans | Fishing boat, Epheria Cog, lower-tier/older ships |
| Boats with unlimited lifespans | Bartali, Epheria boats and above, higher-grade ships |
| Repair options | Lower-tier boats cannot be repaired, while higher-tier boats can be repaired at a Wharf Manager if destroyed in combat |

What You'll Learn
Small boats have limited lives, while Bartali and Epheria boats and above do not
Small boats in BDO have limited lives, while Bartali and Epheria boats and above do not. This means that lower-tier/older ships, such as the row boat and fishing boat, are destroyed when they run out of durability, whereas higher-grade ships are permanent and can be repaired at a Wharf Manager if they are destroyed in combat.
The Epheria Cog is one of the boats with a limited lifespan, and the higher-tier sailboats have some durability repair options. However, the lower-tier boats will simply run until they die.
If a boat is destroyed, it can be remote collected at a wharf.

Sailboats have durability repair
Sailboats in BDO have durability repair, but this depends on the tier of the boat. Higher-tier sailboats can be repaired at a Wharf Manager if they are destroyed in combat, whereas lower-tier sailboats are destroyed when they run out of durability.
The Epheria Cog and fishing boat are examples of boats with limited lifespans. On the other hand, Bartali and Epheria boats and above do not have limited lifespans.
It is recommended that players buy their first entry boat, whether it is a sailboat or frigate, instead of building their own. Upgrades will require plenty of actual sea playtime, so it is beneficial to save time and effort by purchasing a boat with silver.

Boats can be destroyed and collected at a wharf
Boats in BDO have different lifespans depending on their tier. Lower-tier boats, such as the fishing boat and Epheria Cog, have limited lifespans and will be destroyed when they run out of durability. Higher-grade ships, on the other hand, are permanent and can be repaired if they are destroyed in combat.
It is worth noting that some players choose to buy their first entry-level boat rather than building it themselves, as building a boat can be time-consuming and may not be worth the effort. Upgrades to boats will also require plenty of actual sea playtime.
