Raft 101 Survival Ghost Ship & Haunted Ship
High-risk ocean landmarks — clear enemies, loot guns, finish totem missions.
The ghost ship (also called a haunted ship in creator videos) is one of the highest-risk landmarks in Raft 101 Survival on Roblox. The Experimental Games uses it for dense enemy packs, powerful guns, totem-style quests, and the Sink Ghost Ship badge track. Unlike quiet island wood runs, a ghost ship fight can erase outer raft tiles if you undock poorly — prepare like a mini-raid, not a sightseeing trip.
This walkthrough covers scouting, loadouts, boarding, looting, and return routing for solo and co-op crews aiming past Day 40 toward Day 101.
What the ghost ship is
Expect a floating combat arena with:
- Hostile NPCs that rush boarders
- High-value crates, guns, and crafting materials
- Quest objectives such as collecting totems across linked islands and ships
- Optional sink/clear conditions tied to badges
It is not the Steam Raft story — treat everything as Roblox ocean-survival mechanics.
Prerequisites before you sail
| Checklist | Why |
|---|---|
| Lookout Mast online | Spot the ship and threats early |
| Cooked food stack | Boarding fights drain hunger |
| Basic weapons + repair mats | Expect tile damage on return |
| Scavenger or strong looter | Faster crate clears |
| Ideally Scientist or Ghost Pirate | DPS for ship packs |
Finish Getting Started and expand via Raft Building so your dock has a clear return berth.
Scouting and approach
- Use the Lookout Mast to confirm ship silhouette and weather
- Sail with full hunger and a repair kit in inventory
- Dock on a short side — leave an escape lane away from octopus patrols
- Mark the raft with a teammate on repair duty in co-op
If octopus is active, postpone the ghost ship. Ocean bosses plus ship NPCs overwhelm mid-game rafts.
Boarding combat tips
- Clear decks before opening deep crates
- Use raft-mounted guns or crossbows if you placed defenses earlier
- Fight from elevated ship sections when possible
- Revive teammates behind cover, not on open rails
- Pull enemies toward your strongest fighter (Scientist or Ghost Pirate)
Creator showcases highlight powerful ship-drop guns — prioritize them for later island totems.
Totems and multi-island missions
Recent updates chain ghost-ship clears into totem collection across several islands. Typical flow:
- Clear or sink the first haunted ship
- Loot the map/marker for the next totem
- Island hop with materials for craft upgrades
- Repeat until the quest set completes
Do not leave crates behind if inventory is full — dump junk wood into storage, return, and finish looting. Scavenger sack space helps.
Loot priorities
- Guns / unique weapons
- Metal and rare crafting mats
- Food and medical items
- Quest totems / map pieces
- Cosmetic clutter last
Classes that shine here
| Class | Ghost ship value |
|---|---|
| Scientist | Best clear speed |
| Ghost Pirate | Toxic flintlock + scythe pressure |
| Pirate | Chest Coin luck + boarding kit |
| Scavenger | Loot throughput after clears |
| Captain / Advanced Carpenter | Support builds between raids |
See the full Tier List and Classes hub.
Return and repair
After looting:
- Recount crew on raft
- Repair broken outer tiles immediately
- Cook while sailing home so hunger recovers
- Store guns before the next Admin Abuse lag spike

The ghost ship pays for itself only if your raft still exists when you get back.
