GTA 6 Contender 39ST-Style Boat and Its Police Version

A big centre-console boat with three outboards, moored in the Grassrivers and the Leonida Keys in Rockstar’s screenshots, and in police colours in its artwork. It copies the real Contender 39ST; the game has not given it a name.

Identified in Rockstar’s footage by outside editors; Rockstar has not named it. Rockstar has published no vehicle statistics for GTA 6, so this page prints none.

Contender 39ST in GTA 6 — the name, and where it is seen

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Has the Contender 39ST been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in an official screenshot, and in official artwork.

A large centre-console boat moored at a Grassrivers marina at Watson Bay (an official screenshot). Another among several bay boats in a Leonida Keys screenshot. A Vice Beach Police version with roof lights in artwork of Jason and Lucia. These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.

Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.

Is the Contender 39ST really in GTA 6?

Nobody has said

Not under that name. “Contender 39ST” is the real American boat it copies; Rockstar never uses real brands, and the GTA 6 boat has no name yet.

GTA Wiki lists it as an unnamed Contender 39ST-inspired boat and GTA 6 Intel as an unknown boat based on the real Contender 39ST, a cruiser and fishing boat. What GTA 6 shows is the shape: a stepped hull, a centre helm under a large roof, three outboard engines and a mast with lights and aerials, by GTA Wiki’s description. This page uses the real model’s name only because the game has not given one.

Still open — The name and maker Rockstar gives it.

Where is the Contender-style boat seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

In two official screenshots — moored at a marina in the Grassrivers and among bay boats in the Leonida Keys — and as a Vice Beach police boat in artwork.

GTA Wiki places one at a marina at Watson Bay in the Grassrivers and another with several bay boats in the Leonida Keys, plus two more in a Leonida Keys postcard; GTA 6 Intel counts the same two screenshots, published with Trailer 2. A police version with blue and red roof lights, run by the Vice Beach Police Department, answers a call in Rockstar’s artwork of Jason and Lucia — the real Miami Beach police use a Contender 39ST, GTA Wiki notes.

Still open — Whether the police version chases you on the water.

How we checked this page

The page was titled with a real boat maker’s model as if it were the game’s name; GTA Wiki and GTA 6 Intel both list the boat as unnamed and based on the Contender 39ST, so the copy now says so. The two screenshots are counted by both. The police version is GTA Wiki’s reading of Rockstar’s Jason and Lucia artwork, and its note that Miami Beach police run a Contender 39ST is reported as the wiki’s, not checked against the police.
