Group Iron players get a big boost from Sailing, so it makes sense to know how the skill works when you are not solo. This guide breaks down the team flow, shared tasks, and how boats work when your whole group hops on board.
How Group Ironman Sailing Works
Group Iron teams can use shared boats and complete Sailing tasks together. Most progress is still personal, but the skill has several team benefits that help everyone move faster.
Sailing Basics For Group Iron
Group Iron players unlock the raft after Pandemonium just like normal accounts. Your group can ride together since it has space for two people. Higher tier boats open more spots so the whole squad can sit on the same deck.
The skiff unlocks at level 15 and has room for five. The sloop unlocks at level 50 and has room for ten. Extra crew slots help you handle more tasks at once.
Shared Tasks And Team Flow
Group tasks work well because many Sailing actions scale with people helping. Loading crates, clearing salvage and burbs, and handling boat jobs all feel quicker with extra hands.
Port Jobs Together
Courier tasks are a big win for teams. One person grabs crates, another loads the cargo hold, and someone else can handle steering. Your group can complete more runs in a shorter time.
Bounty tasks still give individual rewards, but doing them together is better because the team can handle storms, rapids, or enemies much easier.
Salvaging With Friends
Salvaging hooks and the salvaging station work better when your group splits jobs. One person can steer while others yank up salvage or stack loot in the cargo hold. A bigger boat helps because you can install more facilities.
Sailing Trials And Events
Barracuda Trials and other timed challenges become easier when a group spreads out the tasks. Someone handles the helm, someone pops wind motes, and someone watches for hazards. Group Iron teams save a lot of time when splitting these roles.
Group Boats And Access Rules
Every Group Iron player still owns their own boat, but teams can board each other's boats as long as settings allow it. You can build different setups too. One person can run a speed skiff, one can run a combat sloop, and someone else can build a salvage boat.
A group can rotate between these depending on the goal. This saves resources and cuts down construction costs because you do not all need the same builds.

Final Blurb
Group Iron teams get more value out of Sailing than almost any other account type. The skill rewards teamwork, shared roles, and smart builds. If your squad plans ahead, you can clear tasks, grab loot, and unlock docks at a pace solo players cannot match.
