| Grab a group of friends for a
pleasure cruise in one of the most enjoyable rides in There. Perfect
for parties and tours, the HoverBoat is a five-person vehicle that lets
you hang out while you're getting around! The person in the driver's seat controls the movement and speed of the HoverBoat. The passengers can control their camera angles, giving them different views of the scenery and each other while riding through the air. Whether you fly by yourself or give your friends a ride, piloting a HoverBoat helps you gain points on the Boat Captain skill ladder. Hoverboats can be controlled easily with the arrow keys on your keyboard, although Action Mode is recommended to get the most out of your experience. A variety of standard HoverBoats are available for purchase in Shop Central, and you can also find many fun and whimsical designs by our members in the There Auctions. If you are interested in learning more about HoverBoats and testing your skills at fun events, HoverBoat_Risers is the club for you! |
 Ahoy! It's the
UniBoat!

Driver Controls
- Use either standard or action mode to control HoverBoats.
- HoverBoats go at several speeds that are controlled with the up arrow.
- Hold the up arrow key as you would a gas pedal. The HoverBoat will rise a few meters and start moving forward. If you release the key, the HoverBoat slows down just as if you took your foot off the gas.
- Pressing the down arrow slows down the speed, and causes
the HoverBoat to descend.
- Pressing the left/right arrow turns the HoverBoat in standard mode. In action mode, moving the mouse left/right also turns the HoverBoat.
- Pressing the up and down arrows (or the left and right mouse buttons in action mode) at the same time causes the HoverBoat to rise vertically. See how high you can go!
Passenger Controls
- The passengers can use the arrows to change their camera views, allowing them to see the scenery and each other from different angles. This is also a great way to get amazing aerial screenshots!
- Pressing the up arrow zooms in.
- Pressing the down arrow zooms out.
- Pressing the left/right arrows rotates the camera.
Note: If you'd like to enjoy the scenery and also chat with your friends, use Cruise Control. To activate this feature, just click There > Customize > World > Cruise Control. When it is turned on, holding the up arrow for a few seconds will initiate the cruise control and tapping the down arrow will disable it. Have fun exploring There!
