Hey there! To upgrade your boat, you first need to unlock the better boat recipes by crafting a workbench and progressing through the game's tech tree. The three boat types are the raft, the karve, and the longship. Each one is faster and can carry more cargo than the last. Happy sailing!
I upgraded my boat by just building a new one! Start with a raft, then move to a karve, and finally, a longship. No actual upgrade mechanics, just better boats.
Hot take: Who needs a boat upgrade? Just build a portal network and skip the seas entirely!
