OSRS Sailing Facilities | All Facilities and What They Do
© gamerblurb.com | Published on 11/20/2025 at 7:21 PM CST (USA)
Every boat upgrade opens new tools that change how your ship works, so this guide breaks down what each facility does and how to unlock them as you level.
How Facilities Work
Facilities are structures you build on facility hotspots inside the Shipyard. Each one needs specific Sailing and Construction levels plus the materials listed on the board. Once built, they stay on your boat until you swap them out.
Better boats unlock more hotspots and more advanced facility types. Rafts start small, while skiffs and sloops let you set up real setups for salvaging, trawling, combat, storage, and utility.
Facility Types Explained

Cannons let your boat fight sea monsters. Each tier hits harder and needs higher Privateering to operate. Cannons require planks, nails, and bars that match their level.

What You Should Build First
Early levels need storage and hooks. Mid levels need salvaging stations and better cannons. Late levels use nets and wind tools to push XP faster.
Here is a clean order that feels smooth
Build a basic cargo hold at level 1
Build a bronze salvaging hook at level 15
Build a range or keg for early tasks
Swap to teak cargo hold around 29
Build steel or mithril cannon once unlocked
Move into trawling nets after 56
Add wind catcher at 53 for trim gains
Use facilities that match the content you are doing
Final Blurb
Facilities decide what your boat can actually do at sea, so upgrade them often and match your setup to your goals. Salvaging, trawling, and sea combat all rely on the right builds, and the Shipyard lets you switch everything as you grow.
