Boat is an Adventure Map object that allows heroes to move over water tiles. 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 shipyards, which are always located next to a shoreline. Additionally, Castle, Necropolis, Fortress, Conflux, and Cove Horn of the Abyss, and Conflux towns can build shipyards if the town is next to a shoreline. Boats cost 10 Wood and 1000 Gold when built 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.

There is a limit of 64 boats on the map.
