How do I get to the boat in Valheim?
by
In order to build a boat in Valheim you will need to have placed a workbench nearby and have your Hammer ready in your toolbar.Upon selecting the Hammer, enter the miscellaneous tab and select either a Raft, Longship, or Karve.
Press [A] or [D] to turn the boat’s rudder. The boat will only turn in the direction of the rudder when it is in motion. Note that if the boat is reversing, the rudder direction will turn the boat in the opposite direction than if the boat were traveling forwards.
Is the Longship faster than the Karve?
As mentioned above, the Longship is usually the fastest. Still, without the power of its sails and with the wind against it, the best ship in terms of paddling speed is undoubtedly the Karve, which can reach a paddling speed of 11.5 km/h, that paired with its small size makes it stand out in this category.
There are currently three boats you can build in Valheim. Bearing in mind that this is an Early Access game, it’s currently unknown whether more will be added later on. These boats are the simple raft, the mid-sized karve, and the impressive longship.

How do I control the boat in Valheim?
There isn’t much to traveling Valheim’s waterways. All you have to do is jump on the vessel and press “E” to operate the rudder (the handle on the right side). When piloting the craft, you’ll see a yellow steering wheel appear above the rudder. Press “A” to steer to the left and “D” to steer to the right.
When you’re at 33% forward (1 arrow up) and in reverse (1 arrow down) speed, you’ll be using the rudder to propel your raft. You may not be able to move forward very fast (or at all) if you’re pushing into the wind. At 66% forward power and 100% forward power, you’ll deploy the sails and the wind will push you forward.
