Tek Hoversail — Detailed Guide
An Element-powered vehicle for two
The Tek Hoversail is a personal vehicle in ARK: Survival Evolved that you deploy, ride and pick up again. Its description: "Swift personal transport for quickly traversing terrain via hover and flying modes, at a cost of Element. Can support an additional passenger." According to the ARK Wiki it arrived with Genesis: Part 2, and it is also on Lost Island, Fjordur and Genesis: Part 1.
Riding it
- Crew: it holds two survivors, a pilot and a passenger lying at the prow. The passenger can use a weapon; the pilot may fire too, but only in first-person view.
- Load: the wiki gives it a carrying capacity of 1500 pounds.
- Terrain: it can hover over water and lava safely and climbs steep mountains well. Deploying it underwater carries the rider quickly up to the surface.
- Wildlife: wild creatures stay calm as you approach on it, unless they had already targeted you; angering one ends the effect.
- Tricks: in the air, the directional keys perform tricks, and they add hovering time and a speed boost on landing.
Picking it up, and its weak points
Besides the 
Canoe, it is the one vehicle a survivor can pick back up, and it fits on the hotbar for a fast escape. Riders can also stay on it when teleporting in the Genesis Simulation. Its health is low, though, and it can be destroyed easily in hostile areas. If it is left unridden in the world and not picked up, it destroys itself after 1 hour, with a countdown shown once you dismount.
