Free Aquarius Upgrade in GTA Online Black Friday

GTA Online players are getting an unexpected taste of luxury this week thanks to Rockstar's “A Superyacht Life” event, running from November 27 to December 3, 2025. For many, the star of the show is the Aquarius Super Yacht, which suddenly becomes free to upgrade into if you already own the Orion or Pisces models GTA 5 Modded Accounts. 

On most platforms, the jump to the top-tier vessel costs nothing at all, while PC players only see a token GTA$1 charge on DockTease. It's a simple way for long-time yacht owners to instantly turn an older model into the game's flashiest floating mansion, complete with a helipad, spa, and the captain's quarters everyone loves showing off. Players without a yacht aren't left out either—thanks to a flat GTA$2 million discount and an additional 40% price cut, the Aquarius' usual eight-figure price drops to about GTA$3.6 million, making it reachable just in time for the free upgrade trick to help new buyers.

Among the three Galaxy Super Yacht models, the Aquarius has always been the one people actually want. Its long deck gives plenty of room for helicopter landings, there are multiple spots to lounge in the sun, and the interior looks more like a luxury resort than a boat. Upgrading from the Orion or Pisces doesn't just make the yacht look nicer—it also improves some of the services it provides, from faster captain support to better missile defense.

This week's bonuses make yacht ownership even more tempting. “A Superyacht Life” missions are paying out 5X GTA$ and RP, which means simple tasks like fending off pirates or searching for wreckage can turn into big payouts. Shipwreck chests and New Listings missions are also paying double, helping players work toward the “Very Important Prix Gold Tier” before December 7. Just completing three yacht missions earns an extra GTA$100,000 and the Vibrant Check Smoking Jacket, while GTA+ members get boosted rewards on FIB Priority File missions. Even just logging in drops the Pluck Me Sweater into your wardrobe.

Rockstar folded the yacht deals into a long list of Black Friday discounts across Los Santos. Big vehicles like the Mammoth Avenger and Terrorbyte are half off or more, and popular aircraft such as the Hydra and F-160 Raiju are down 40%. The same discount applies to favorites like the Deluxo and Toreador. Property prices are slashed too, making it a good week to pick up a nightclub, hangar, garment factory, or the Eclipse Blvd Garage. Even yacht extras—like hot tubs and anti-air upgrades—are cheaper once the free Aquarius upgrade goes through.

As the event goes on, more and more players are posting their upgraded yachts under sunset skies and cruising around Los Santos with full crews. With the huge mission payouts and piles of discounts, the free Aquarius upgrade is shaping up to be one of the most generous holiday surprises Rockstar has put out in a long time GTA 5 Enhanced Accounts buy. If you want in, make sure to grab it before December 3—this is one of those rare moments where everyone gets to feel like they're living the superyacht life.
