The Reefer is a recurring boat featured in all Grand Theft Auto games in the series, between Grand Theft Auto III and The Ballad of Gay Tony (except for Grand Theft Auto Advance ).

Design:
- Grand Theft Auto IV:
In Grand Theft Auto IV , the Reefer assumes a completely new design, strongly resembling the Orca from the 1975 movie Jaws .

The vessel remains largely similar to its previous renditions, but has several differences in terms of details and features. On the bow, there is a long wooden pulpit in the center that is supported by two metal frames below and tall hand rails around, while the deck has a wooden finish and has a protruding section with circular portholes .

The cabin is seemingly linear in shape compared to previous renditions, featuring dual rectangular windshields and three side windows, which are slightly larger at the bottom than the former. Beside the same cab, there are bulky sections below the side windows and small hooks on the side pillars, carrying a set of harpoons. The back section is more enclosed and features an access door on the right and a square window on the left, in conjunction with propane tanks, an access door, a small bell and what looks like the exhaust for the inboard engine. The top of the cabin carries a similar structure with lifebuoys on either side, another harpoon on the left side and small cleats on the rear section. The radar mast is no longer there, as it is instead moved to the top of the fishing crane. The interior is detailed with the typical features of most boats, but the character stands in the center of the cab (instead of on the right like on previous iterations).

On the stern, the vessel carries the large fishing crane similar to the GTA San Andreas iteration, but is decorated with steps, various cables/ropes and the radar equipment on top. Again, most of the deck has a wooden finish and bears small hand rails near the transom. There are also additional cleats on the gunwales with cables/ropes attached to the end of the fishing crane's arm, and fenders are hung along the sides of the stern. A single propeller with a single rudder can be seen below the hull.

The vehicle is only available in an all-white color.

Performance:
- 3D Universe:
Based on a common shipping and fishing vessel, the Reefer is a slow yet durable fishing boat. In addition to being slow, it can hold only one passenger despite its large size. It is also a very poor choice of vehicle in a police chase because it will be quickly destroyed by police boats and it lacks the speed or maneuverability to evade them.

All renditions of the Reefer use an inboard engine and use small nozzles for propulsion.

The GTA Vice City Stories rendition of the Reefer is much slower than other 3D Universe renditions of the vessel.

- Grand Theft Auto IV:
The Reefer pretty much performs the same as in the 3D Universe, having slow speed, low acceleration and stiff controls. The Reefer is not recommended for Wanted Levels due to its slow speed, which makes it an easy target for enemy gunfire. It is, however, able to ram and flip other boats without causing too much trouble for the Reefer.

The Reefer uses an inboard engine that produces a low-revving sound, powering a single propeller.

Special Variants:
- Episodes from Liberty City:
In the mission Clocking Off , a unique black Reefer can be seen in the pier that Luis and his friends have to get there. It cannot be obtained, since boats cannot be saved in parking spaces in the game.

Prominent Appearances in Missions:
- Grand Theft Auto IV:
Babysitting - A Reefer filled with counterfeit 100 dollar bills must be escorted into Liberty City safely.
- The Ballad of Gay Tony:
Clocking Off - A black Reefer is seen at the pier, where the shipment of heroin is transported to the Cavalcade .

Locations:
- Grand Theft Auto IV:
Docked by a ramp slightly north of the Hickey Bridge .
Docked in the waters of Tudor , Alderney .

Trivia:
- General:
The name Reefer is a play on the slang term meaning Marijuana , but it is also a reference to coral reefs, which can be found on the seafloor of oceans.
As with other 3D Universe vehicles, the Reefer makes an appearence as an unplayable vehicle in Manhunt 2, another Rockstar game.
