Checkpoint Charlie is the only mission at the Boatyard in Viceport. Dwayne and Jethro sell Tommy the yard, and the job that makes it pay is a boat race where the checkpoints are packages floating in the harbor.

Walkthrough

  1. Buy the Boatyard from Dwayne and Jethro at the house icon.
  2. Walk down to the water and get into one of the boats to start.
  3. Collect the packages one after another. The next one is always on the radar.
  4. Pick up all 26 before the two and a half minutes run out.

Tips

  • Do not go flat out. IGN says both boats handle poorly, and it is easy to overshoot a package or turn too sharply.
  • GameSpot calls the course tough, with a tight time limit and several jumps. Line up straight and carry enough speed before each ramp.
  • Only the first run is needed to complete the asset. IGN notes you can get back in a boat to try five harder levels for bigger cash prizes.

Rewards and unlocks

You earn $5,000 the first time, and the Boatyard starts earning $2,000 a day. It is one of the assets needed for 100% completion.
