Longships are large boats with a high sailing speed, a high amount of storage and average maneuverability. Their cost of construction makes Longships less than disposable. However, their significantly higher health and fast sailing speeds make them a decent upgrade from the Karve. Longships are reliable boats, able to store a large amount of cargo while boasting some of the best maneuverability, without being so large as to be cumbersome.
They travel 3.6–9.4 m/s with full sails, 3.6–6.7 m/s with half sails and 3.16 m/s when paddling.
Boats cannot be deconstructed with a hammer, but their resources drop when they are destroyed and can be recovered if a player is standing or swimming in range to pick them up before they sink.
Longships can capsize from heavy waves during storms, though it is rare. Sail directly towards the waves at less than full sails to minimize the risk.

Trivia[]
Curiously, instead of real-life designs, the dragon head of the Longship in the game is based on the visage of Moorwens, a race of lizard-like quadrupedal aliens whose last surviving member served as the main antagonist of underrated 2008 sci-fi Viking film Outlander.
