How to complete the Seaman Challenge in BitLife

Live life out at sea

BitLife’s Seaman Challenge has you living as someone familiar with the ocean. From working as a fisherman to joining the Navy, you’ll experience the sea in all forms, ending the challenge with relaxing times on a boat. Or, at least, we hope it’s safe and relaxing. Here’s how to complete the Seaman Challenge in BitLife.

BitLife Seaman Challenge guide

The Seaman Challenge in BitLife has five objectives to complete:

  • Be born a male in Alaska
  • Get an honorable discharge from the Navy
  • Become a crab fisherman
  • Purchase a boat worth $2,000,000
  • Sail on your boat worth $2,000,000 three times

For the most part, you can complete the middle three tasks in any order you wish. However, going through them in the order they appear is the easiest way to finish the Seaman Challenge, especially since you’ll need time to raise money for your boat.

Be born a male in Alaska

Your first objective is to be born a male in Alaska. To do this, create a new character whose starting gender is male, whose country is the United States, and whose starting place is Anchorage. Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, making it a great place to start for this challenge.

Once you create your Alaskan character, age them until they turn 18, avoiding any and all crime so they can easily join the Navy.

Get an honorable discharge from the Navy

After your character turns 18, head into the Occupation tab and select Military. Here, you’ll find the Navy, which you’ll have to enlist and perform well for at least four years. Once you have worked hard and have lasted at least four years in the Navy, you can request a discharge to receive an honorable discharge, knocking out the second task.

Become a crab fisherman

Your next goal after joining and discharging from the Navy is to become a crab fisherman. To do this, head into the full-time job list and continue searching until you spot the Greenhorn position. You’ll know you’ve found it when you see a job with a crab emoji icon next to its name. If you don’t see it, close and reopen the BitLife app or age up your character and recheck the list.

Once you spot the Greenhorn job, apply for the position and pass the interview to become a crab fisherman. Three tasks down, two more to go.

Purchase and sail a boat worth $2,000,000

The last two tasks of the Seaman Challenge require you to have plenty of money to buy a boat and a boating license. You can get a boating license by heading into Activities, choosing Licenses, and taking a quick boating license test. After getting your license and making some money, head into Assets, choose Shopping, and scroll through the boat vehicle dealer until you spot a boat worth at least $2,000,000.

It doesn’t matter how you get money for your boat. Some easy ways include marrying someone rich, getting inheritances from your parents, and working hard at your job until you get the money. You can also go a different, higher-paying career route, win the lottery, or resort to crime if you need to.

Once you purchase your $2,000,000 boat, look for it in your assets menu and sail it at least three times to complete the Seaman Challenge in BitLife.
