11Starsand Port Construction is a main quest in the Island Life progression system that tasks the player with helping Marston rebuild the Maritime Bureau at Half-Moon Bay. Despite requiring only 15 Stone and 15 Softwood, it is one of the most impactful quests in the game because it unlocks the Merchant Ship (the best vendor for selling goods), yacht rentals, the Parrot Ship for deep-sea fishing, and is a prerequisite for the Building Starsand Station quest.22Quick Reference44DetailInfoQuest TypeIsland Life Main QuestQuest GiverMarstonLocationStarsand Port, Half-Moon BayIsland Life RankIsland ProMaterials15 Stone, 15 SoftwoodMain RewardsMerchant Ship, yacht rental, Parrot Ship, deep-sea fishing zones66Prerequisites77Reach the Island Pro rank in the Island Life phone app.Complete the initial batch of Island Life tasks leading up to Island Pro status.1010The quest becomes the first major rebuild objective at the Island Pro stage. It is the gateway to a chain of infrastructure quests.1212Step-by-Step Walkthrough1414Step 1: Find Marston1616Locate Marston at the run-down, dilapidated port in Half-Moon Bay. He is the dock manager and can often be found on the beach near the port area.1818Step 2: Speak to Marston2020Talk to Marston and agree to help rebuild the port. He explains what materials are needed for the Maritime Bureau construction.2222Step 3: Deliver Materials2424Gather and deliver the following materials to Marston:2626MaterialQuantityHow to ObtainStone15Mine rocks with a pickaxeSoftwood15Chop small trees with an axe2828The material cost for this quest is notably low compared to other construction quests. Most players will already have these materials in their inventory.2929Step 4: Wait for Construction3131After delivering the materials, the quest objective changes to "Wait for port construction." The port completes construction the next in-game day (overnight). Simply sleep or wait until the following morning, then return to the completed port.3333What Unlocks3535Completing the Starsand Port Construction quest unlocks several major game systems, all accessible at the rebuilt Starsand Port:3737Merchant Ship3939The Merchant Ship docks at Starsand Port and operates from 08:00 to 22:00. It is the most profitable vendor in the game:4141ItemDetailsSells items at premium pricesThe Merchant Ship buys player items at 200% of normal vendor value (double the standard sell price).Buying ordersThe Merchant Ship posts weekly buying orders for specific items at an additional markup. Pickled goods are frequently requested.Stock refreshes every MondayThe ship also sells rare items including food recipes and special goods.4343Yacht Rental4444Rent a yacht for 150 Coins per hour to explore the ocean and fish manually.Boats are found on the left side of the dock near the Parrot Ship. A speedboat rental is available at the end of the pier.4646Parrot Ship (Deep-Sea Fishing)4848The Parrot Ship captain at the dock offers fast travel to three specialized deep-sea fishing zones:5050ZoneNotable FishCoral SeaRare coral fish speciesLuminwaveHigh-value deep-sea speciesCelestwaveTuna, Mola Mola, and other premium catches5252These zones contain rare, high-value fish that require upgraded fishing rods and specific bait. Access to these zones is essential for progressing the Angler profession beyond the Apprentice tier.5353Angler Profession Progression5555The port is essential for the Junior Angler Trial, which requires the player to acquire a boat. Without the rebuilt port, boat access and deep-sea fishing remain locked.5757Tips5959TipDetailsGather materials before visiting Marston15 Stone and 15 Softwood are trivial to collect. Having them ready lets you complete the quest in a single visit.Prioritize this questThe Merchant Ship alone is worth rushing this quest for, as selling goods at 200% value is the best money-making method in the mid-game.Save high-value items for the Merchant ShipOnce the port is built, hold onto pickled items, Golden/Silver Poop, and processed crops to sell at the Merchant Ship for double profit.Check buying orders weeklyThe Merchant Ship's buying orders refresh every Monday and offer substantial bonus income for specific items.6161Known Issues6262ItemDescriptionMaterial delivery may be skippedSome players have reported the quest saying "Wait for port construction" immediately after speaking to Marston, apparently skipping the material delivery phase. The port still auto-completes the next day.Marston unresponsiveMarston can occasionally get stuck talking to tourists and become uninteractable. Workarounds include taking the ferry, waiting a full day, or advancing to the next season.6464Related NPCs6565NPCRoleLocationMarstonDock manager and quest giverStarsand Port, Half-Moon BaySolaraGives the follow-up Building Starsand Station questCommunity CenterDelphinFishing Mentor; Angler trials require port accessAquaBlue OutpostNeonaG-Power Bike shop; sells boat blueprintsMain road near Half-Moon Bay6767Quest Progression6868The Starsand Port Construction quest sits in the following Island Life progression chain:7070Complete initial Island Life tasks (Returning Resident rank)Reach Island Pro rankStarsand Port Construction 15 Stone + 15 Softwood for MarstonWait one in-game day for constructionBuilding Starsand Station Significantly more materials requiredBus Stop Reconstruction Repair 10 bus stops across the island
