Fortnite - Search between Three Boats location

Where to Search between Three Boats in Fortnite.

Working out where to search between the Three Boats is one of Fortnite's many Weekly Challenges.

Completing it will give you additional XP to help go towards your many Season 3 rewards. Note you'll need to be a Battle Pass holder in order to undertake this challenge.

If you're just getting started, our Fortnite Battle Royale tips and tricks can provide some helpful hints.


Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the Grind Rails and Kinetic Blades, along with the new Battle Pass, character collection and Eren Jaeger skin. It's a good idea to know how to get XP fast in Fortnite.


What does Search between Three Boats mean?

For the Week 8 Challenges you are tasked with the following:

  • Search between Three Boats (1 total, 10 Battle Stars)

Another on the list that week includes dance on different Dance Floors and finding a Vending Machine.

This means you must find these objects on the map, and look between them until you find something. But what?

Turns out this is a secret treasure. Once you find the location it will appear, then all you have to do is collect it. Doing so will complete the challenge.

See the three boats? Continue reading for the specific treasure location...

As with other challenges, you must do these as you play matches (you cannot enter the map without other players), so you'll have to avoid combat encounters as you attempt to find each location.

Note you need to complete the match in order for the challenge to be finished - quitting the match as soon as you collect it won't work.


Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is here! It brings a free Lego Insider skin and redemption codes with it, along with a new Victory Umbrella. We've also got pages on new features like Medallions, Weapon Mods, and how to complete a Train Heist. Meanwhile, learn what the best weapons are in the current season, how to get XP fast, and what the best PC settings are to help earn a Victory Crown.


Fortnite Three Boats location

The challenge refers to the location of 'three boats'. If you know the map well enough, you know the only body of water is Loot Lake (in the north-west corner of the map), and this is exactly where it refers to.

But where exactly is the treasure? It's on the largest island right in the centre of the island.

Specifically, you'll want to find a pier on the south of the island, underneath the house. The treasure will appear as soon as you get close.

When you do, you'll see a button prompt to collect it. Do so, and the treasure is yours.
