Crest Kayak
Crest · Watercraft
The Crest Kayak is named directly by Rockstar Games in the official Grand Theft Auto VI screenshot library, where an image carries the caption "Crest Kayak". That makes it one of the small number of Leonida vehicles confirmed by name before release — and one of the more unusual ones, because a kayak is a paddle-powered recreational craft rather than an engine-driven boat. We classify it as watercraft rather than forcing it into a car category. Rockstar has published no performance, handling or acquisition information about it, so this page carries none.
GTA VI
GTA VI appearance
The official screenshot shows a kayak in the waters of Leonida, consistent with the mangrove, canal and coastal environments Rockstar has shown elsewhere in its GTA VI material. Whether it is a fully controllable player vehicle, how it is paddled, and where it can be obtained have not been stated, and we will not infer those things from a still image.
Previous games
GTA history
Grand Theft Auto has featured plenty of powered watercraft — speedboats, jetskis, dinghies and yachts — but human-powered craft have been rare in the series. On that basis a named kayak reads as an expansion of the vehicle roster rather than a returning model. This refers to earlier games only.

Design
Real-world inspiration
The Crest Kayak appears to draw inspiration from No specific real-world basis has been identified. A sit-on-top recreational kayak is a generic type rather than a branded design, so we make no manufacturer comparison.. Rockstar Games has not confirmed any real-world basis, so this is an observation about the design rather than a licensed relationship.
