This mod adds several boats to the rivers and one to the coast that can be used as a fast travel system. They work similarly to carriages. Just activate the ship and select your destination.

The boat must be purchased or repaired before it can be used.

There is only one boat per "route". For example if you take a boat from Riverwood to Guardian Stone, the boat will stay at Guardian Stone until you use it again.

If you can't remember where you left your ship, open your world map and you'll see its location as a map marker.

I can't see a recipe for the parts I need to repair my ship. what do I do?

How do I get a boat near Riften?

Read the instructions on board to get you started. You have to read the instructions to do the mini 'missions'.

Why are some parts of the river unavailable?

The routes are chosen based on natural obstacles such as waterfalls. Small weirs and tumbles can be easily crossed by picking up the boat and moving it a few feet. Very high or long drops will be very inconvenient or difficult to negotiate. In such cases it is easier to walk a short distance and take a different boat. For example the waterfall between Riverwood and Whiterun.
