Your Boatyard!: Dock Upgrade Order
Plan Your Boatyard dock upgrades by boat slots, offline earners, crate tier, leaderboard push, event mutations, and payback time.
Quick Summary
Dock upgrades are worth it when you have boats ready to use the extra space. Upgrading too early creates empty slots; upgrading too late leaves valuable boats stuck in inventory. Upgrade your dock when you have enough profitable boats to fill the new space or when an event boat would otherwise sit unused. Dock upgrades are better when you already own valuable boats.

Your Boatyard Roblox Dock Upgrade Order
Your Boatyard search intent is built around crates, boats, docks, events, mutations, and offline income. The page is intentionally different from shop-layout and car-repair tools.
Recommended Decision Rule
Best rule: upgrade docks when valuable boats are waiting, not when the new slot would stay empty.
Boat and Crate Priority
| Rank | Boat Route | Crate | Cost | Income | Payback | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Starter crate boats | Starter | $600 | $232/hr | 2.6h | Fill first dock slots cheaply. |
| #2 | Event mutation boats | Candy event | $1,800 | $669/hr | 2.7h | Use when event candy creates bonus value. |
| #3 | Premium crate boats | Premium | $5,200 | $1,262/hr | 4.1h | Mid-game offline income jump. |
| #4 | Expensive boats | Late crate | $15,000 | $2,704/hr | 5.5h | Leaderboard and long offline sessions. |
Dock Upgrade Order
| Priority | Dock Step | Cost | New Slots | Payback | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | First extra dock slot | $1,200 | 1 | 1.8h | Buy when you have a second useful boat ready. |
| #2 | Mid dock expansion | $5,200 | 2 | 3.9h | Worth it after premium crate boats appear. |
| #3 | Event-ready dock | $9,800 | 3 | 4.9h | Use during candy events if mutation boats are sitting in inventory. |
| #4 | Leaderboard dock | $22,000 | 4 | 8.2h | Late game only; needs expensive boats to pay back. |

Dock ROI rule
Upgrade docks that increase working boats × income before vanity berths
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working boats | Boats that can actually operate |
| Turnaround | How fast boats complete cycles |
| Berth capacity | Slots that convert to income |
| Vanity | Looks-only upgrades |
Example: more berths vs faster turnaround
Setup: Boats sit waiting on a slow dock process.
Result: Speed upgrades beat another empty berth until the queue clears.
Takeaway: Fill and finish cycles before expanding forever.
Common mistakes
- Expanding berths while boats idle.
- Upgrading docks for boats you have not unlocked.
- Ignoring crate requirements tied to dock tiers.
- AFK without dock upgrades that affect offline payout.
