Disney Dreamlight Valley is a magical life-simulation game available on PC and Nintendo Switch and free to play with Xbox Gamepass. Team up with some of the best Disney characters, with more exciting upcoming characters to follow, as you restore the land of Dreamlight Valley. It is your job to complete quests, redecorate, and rebuild the Valley to what it once was. There are plenty of upgrades to be made, from Magical Wells and Goofy Stalls to Moana's Fishing Boat. Each benefits you on your journey, offering the necessary materials and ingredients.
How to upgrade Moana's Fishing Boat
Following Moana's questline will lead you to a quest to repair the shipwreck on Dazzle Beach. Once you acquire all the materials for it, you can rebuild it into Moana's Fishing Boat, then continue upgrading it with Scrooge McDuck to make it even greater.
To upgrade Moana's Fishing Boat, approach the spot where it is placed in your Valley and look for the orange Scrooge McDuck construction sign. Selecting the sign will prompt Scrooge to your location, and he will ask you if you want to make the upgrade and tell you how much it will cost.
Why should you upgrade Moana's Fishing Boat in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Upgrading Moana's Fishing Boat is an excellent investment for your Valley. The Boat accumulates fish automatically, allowing a constant flow of fish without requiring you to spend energy fishing. This is perfect for cooking dishes that require fish, gifting to other friends of the Valley, or even making some extra Star Coins by selling them at Goofy's Stall.
