Overview
The Bamboo Raft is the cheapest and simplest water vehicle in Starsand Island. With a blueprint cost of just 400 Coins and a crafting recipe requiring only 10 Bamboo Strips, it is accessible early in the game. The Bamboo Raft is slow compared to powered watercraft like the Jet Ski and Speedboat, but it provides a functional way to cross rivers and explore coastal areas before you can afford better options.

Tips
The Bamboo Raft is a temporary vehicle. Plan to upgrade to the Sailboard (1,300 Coins blueprint) or Jet Ski (45,000 Coins) as your income grows.
Bamboo is easily farmed near Cloudrest Lake and the Panda House area, making crafting materials readily available.
The slow speed makes the Bamboo Raft impractical for deep-sea fishing trips. Use the Yacht rental or craft a Jet Ski for ocean exploration.
