Brian's Boat Works & Marina
The boatyard Brian Heder runs in the Leonida Keys, a working marine repair business and a front for Keys drug running. The name comes from signage in Trailer 2 and official screenshots; Rockstar's bio for Brian calls it his boat yard.
Brian's Boat Works & Marina sits in the Leonida Keys, the island chain that serves as Jason Duval's home region at the start of the game. Rockstar has not named the business in writing. The name comes from its own signage, which appears in Trailer 2 and in official screenshots released alongside it on May 6, 2025, and community mappers place the yard on Key Lento, an island name that comes from the leaked Leonida map. What Rockstar does say, in Brian Heder's character bio, is that he is 'still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori,' describing a drug-running operation dressed up as a working marine yard. The Keys setting fits: the whole smuggling economy of the region runs on boats, remote marinas, and water access that has always been difficult to police from land.
Jason's connection to the marina is direct. Brian lets Jason live rent-free on his Keys property in exchange for help with local shakedowns, placing the yard at the center of Jason's early story setup. That arrangement puts Jason inside the Keys underworld from the start, with Brian as both his landlord and his first employer. How the marina figures into specific missions, whether players can use it as a personal property, and what happens to the Brian relationship as the story escalates are all unconfirmed until launch.
The boathouse and its rooftop sign reading 'BRIAN'S MARINA' appear in the opening waterfront sequence of the GTA VI launch trailer, released October 15, 2026. The trailer opens with a panorama of the Keys waterfront, placing the marina in the visual establishing shot for GTA 6's opening geography.
