Build and Defend Your Raft
Start on a tiny wooden boat and build your way up to the ULTIMATE RAFT. Collect floating resources with your harpoon and nets, expand the deck, upgrade the Crafting Table to unlock better gear, wall in your chests, and raid other players' rafts to steal their loot. Automatic cannons, turrets, lock-raft shields and 18-player servers make every voyage a raid risk. New updates every Saturday.
