Shipyard sets your income ceiling: more capacity = fewer collections, more speed = faster gold, higher level = stronger PvP and rankings. Here is a clear plan from your first 100K gold to a parallel fleet.
1 Buy a new ship
Harbor → Shipyard. Compare gold cost vs capacity and speed. After ~100K steady gold, consider a mid-tier ship.
2 Upgrades
Upgrading your current ship is often cheaper early. Raise speed if you play online a lot; capacity if you rely on Golden Fisher.
3 Understanding stats
- Capacity: fish before collect.
- Speed / trip time: shorter = more gold/hour.
- Level: unlocks stronger competition.
- Luck / quality: better odds among 46 fish types.
4 Further enhance
5 3-phase investment plan
- Phase 1: one well-upgraded ship + wide storage.
- Phase 2: second ship + Golden Fisher.
- Phase 3: full fleet for events/PvP with shields for AFK.
6 Common mistakes
- Buying ship #2 before upgrading #1.
- Ignoring storage — fast ships with no space stall new trips.
- All capacity or all speed — balance wins.

Should I sell my old ship?
Upgrading and keeping early ships is usually better.
When should I buy a second ship?
When daily income stays above ~50K gold and you understand collect/sell.
Capacity or speed first?
With Golden Fisher prefer capacity + storage; manual players gain more from speed.
