Sailing is the Old School Runescapes latest skill, and with it came 25 new islands that the player can set foot on. With the addition of these islands, the progression path of Runescape changed forever. There are now new ways and locations to train old skills, which completely switch up how an account progresses or makes money. This is especially true for Ironman accounts with the addition of new fish, potions, weapons, and highly contested Hunter spots such as chinchompas. This guide is a list of all the islands and what they have to offer in a nutshell, so you can figure out which islands are useful to you and which aren’t!

All of these islands require a certain Sailing level to access the highest, being level 87. If you have yet to train your Sailing up to those levels, you can check out our Sailing Guide, or if you don’t want to bother training Sailing, you can check out our OSRS Sailing Services to have our specialists take care of any Sailing-related needs for you!
