How to Build an Impressive Boat Dock | Valheim

In this video, I show you how to build an aesthetic boat dock on Valheim. The boat dock can fit a longship which is currently the largest ship in the game. Additionally, the supports are made completely of stone which removes the need to repair components that have been weakened by wet damage. The build also comprises of a boat house attached to the dock where you can place comfort items (including a hearth to remove the wet effect), portals, or a small storage area.

That "lock" for the boat so it doesn't float away is simply genius.

The signs behind the portal’s is such a great idea!!

The dock is nice enough, BUT- Major warning- do NOT try to build the long roof on one of the dock arms if the water in area you're building is noticably affected during storms. High waves will rock your boat wildly and smash the mast against that roof till something breaks. Its the same problem Vetlive's boathouse looks good but in practice has issues.... Either keep both roofs only covering the dock to just short of the ships mast or build somewhere that doesnt get waves, like a river or rivermouth. Strongly suggest checking a potential rivermouth site during a storm before beginning construction if you want to build there to see if its protected or not in the specific spot you're interested in.

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It was fun to build and I even added my own details to it along with minor changes. So satisfying to look at the finished results

This is a great build, i’m trying to make it slightly wider with the steps in the middle to allow 2 boats to dock. One boat for adventure in & the other as an emergency backup in case one sinks! Thanks for you detailed build 😊

Great video!! Man, this took me so long! Built mine in the plains with much deeper water. Had to raise the ground under the ocean to get the dock extensions. So much stone laying on the bottom now from messing it up haha! Thanks for the awesome idea.

Used the foundation of this to build my own that matches my meadow base a little bit better. Very well done, thanks!

What a great video, it kinda reminds me of playing with Legos back in the day and following the instructions the first time building it. This video also helped up my building game. Seriously appreciate this one, job well done.

So you used the shutters as a dock gate at the steps then mentioned wood beams to park. I had a bit of a time in rough or sideways winds. I used a 2m where you put the wood beams on the inside with shutters attached so when you want to release the boat, you release it from the inside and you can pull right out. Then as just as you coast into port, put it to 2 sail, and hop off the seat, run up to the front of the longboat, and lock her in with the same shutters. Has worked wonders. Great video. Love the dock idea. Actually have used a few of yours in my most recent playthrough.

I just finished this build for my new base and it's awesome! Great job as always.

I really like this dock. Just started playing Valheim... Looking forward to better materials. Thanks for the inspiration!

[nekotsune]

I build along with this, I made a few alterations to the design but over all great work thank you.

Great build! Cycle snapping makes getting the dock poles and big stones in place easily :)

[discogeek]

Were you watching my latest game? 'Cause I need a boat dock right now! Thanks Phinqsies, love it.

[OfficialSammySix]

Incredible! I struggle with creative design and tend to find myself coming back to the ‘same old’, but the X beams and dividers really helped spark some creative touches for my far inferior build 😂 Thanks!

[guyinutah]

I built it! Thanks so very much! Great dock!

[eainen]

thank you! gorgeous build as always :>

[sarahno]

Nice build! Definitely using elements in my dock!

[beefnasty]
