How to Load the Boat
Video guide for Cat Mail Co boat loading — captain dialogue, multi-destination stacking, physics placement, and ringing the dock bell.
Boat Loading Basics
Every dusk shift ends with the boat captain. This video guide walks through talking to the captain, loading parcels for his route, managing physics stacking, and ringing the dock bell to send mail onward. Multi-destination trips after Sunny Shores unlock require grouping parcels by regional stamps.
The complete reference is in our Boat Loading guide.

Loading Tips
Stage outgoing parcels near the dock before dusk. Load heavy items first on the bottom layer. Keep fragile parcels on top with nothing above them. Verify regional stamp text matches the captain's current route. Ring the bell only when satisfied — there is no time pressure.
Use the Postage Reference Tool and sorting guide to verify stamps before carrying parcels to the dock.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which parcels the captain wants?
Talk to the captain at dusk. He states the current route and required destinations.
Where should heavy parcels go on the boat?
Bottom layer. Heavy parcels crush anything stacked beneath them.
When do I ring the bell?
After loading all desired parcels. No timer forces early departure.
