GTA 6 Port Gellhorn is one of the major locations confirmed for Grand Theft Auto VI’s state of Leonida. While Vice City represents glamour, tourism, and modern nightlife, Port Gellhorn appears rougher and older. It is more closely connected to roadside businesses and industrial areas, along with local criminal activity.
Rockstar Games has released five dedicated screenshots showing different sides of the region. These images include the Starlet Motel, a railway corridor surrounded by industrial structures, an apparent street-level exchange, the Delights cabaret and an outdoor gathering beside parked vehicles.
The location is also associated with Raul Bautista, an experienced bank robber who constantly searches for skilled people willing to accept major risks for bigger rewards. His connection suggests that Port Gellhorn could become an important destination for robberies, crew recruitment and criminal contacts.
However, Rockstar has not yet released the complete Port Gellhorn map, its exact position within Leonida or a full list of its businesses and neighbourhoods. Many gameplay ideas remain reasonable possibilities rather than confirmed features.
This complete guide covers everything officially shown about Port Gellhorn, including its motels, railway, nightlife, local atmosphere, transportation, Raul Bautista connection and possible role in Jason and Lucia’s story.

What Is Port Gellhorn in GTA 6?
Port Gellhorn is another confirmed location within the world of GTA 6, and it is set within the fictional state of Leonida.
From what we can see in the official screenshots, Port Gellhorn is a small area. It doesn’t look as refined as the Vice City area that Rockstar has shown off. There are no high-rise skyscrapers or busy tourist hotspots in Port Gellhorn. Instead, Rockstar has focused on creating old roadside locations and a large amount of railway lines, alongside some low-end restaurants and bars for the residents to socialize.
The location does look lively though, with many vehicles and open spaces. Many residents gather around to socialize with other players.
It’s worth noting that the name Port Gellhorn suggests a waterfront, possibly even a harbor but there is no sign of this from Rockstar so far. The screenshots show the roads through the town, the various businesses, the railway and the inhabitants of the town.
Port Gellhorn could be a regional town for Rockstar to develop within Leonida. Players can explore as they travel back and forth through the two major cities and open countryside of GTA6’s fictional State.
For the complete world overview, read our GTA 6 map and confirmed Leonida locations guide.
What Does Port Gellhorn Look Like?
All Port Gellhorn official screenshots of this area look rather darker and worn out compared to Vice City in general as well as Leonida Keys’.
Even more so than for Vice City and Leonida Keys, the official images of Port Gellhorn convey a darker, more worn impression of the area. Most of the official images were made in the evening or at night, showcasing visible light from streetlights and signs, as well as car headlights.
The images also show old buildings and construction barriers. There is abandoned railway equipment and many road signs. Although a lot of time has passed, Vice City has developed significantly. In contrast, Leonida Keys feels very lived-in.
Its visual identity appears to combine several elements:
- Older roadside motels
- Railway and industrial infrastructure
- Small entertainment businesses
- Parking lots and local gathering places
- Pickup trucks and modified vehicles
- Low-rise buildings and limited high-rise development
This gives Port Gellhorn a strong identity separate from Vice City’s wealthier and more tourist-focused districts.
The Starlet Motel
The Starlet Motel is one of the clearest named Port Gellhorn locations revealed by Rockstar.
An official screenshot shows the motel at night with a large illuminated roadside sign advertising vacancies, king-size beds, low rates, a swimming pool and Wi-Fi.
The building appears older and relatively small. Palm trees surround the property, while a pickup truck is parked near the entrance. Construction barriers and road equipment can also be seen along the street.
The Starlet Motel could become important during GTA 6’s story. Motels are natural meeting points for people who need temporary accommodation, privacy or a location away from their normal homes.
Possible uses could include:
- A temporary safe location for Jason and Lucia
- A meeting point for Raul Bautista’s crew
- A location connected to a robbery preparation mission
- A place where players meet regional contacts
- A business used during a side mission
These possibilities are not confirmed. Rockstar has not said whether players can rent rooms, freely enter the motel or use it as a permanent safehouse.
Could the Starlet Motel Be a Safehouse?
Until confirmation by Rockstar Games that The Starlet Motel is a safehouse in GTA 6, we will refer to it as The Starlet Motel (GTA 6).
As mentioned earlier it is a small roadside motel, perfect for a temporary story-based location for Jason and Lucia who are on the run across the Leonida neighborhood trying to avoid other characters in the game.
In previous Grand Theft Auto games, hotels and motels were used as mission locations, as a temporary residence for a characters, or where other characters in the game’s story would meet with that character. Therefore, it would make sense for the Starlet Motel to be used as a temporary place for Jason and Lucia to stay in GTA 6.
It could be a location that you visit for a couple of scenes.
Until we get to play the safehouse and the area to the property is going to remain a mystery, we can’t confirm if Jason will be living in the temporary, short-term stay rooms of this motel called Starlet Motel.
Port Gellhorn Railway
Another official screenshot reveals a substantial railway environment inside Port Gellhorn.
A passenger train can be seen beside a platform at night. The surrounding landscape includes a water tower, roads, parked vehicles, streetlights and industrial cranes visible in the distance.
This image confirms that active railway infrastructure is part of the region. It does not yet confirm whether players can ride passenger trains, enter stations or control railway vehicles.
The railway could provide several important functions inside the world:
- Connecting Port Gellhorn with other Leonida regions
- Moving residents and industrial cargo
- Creating railway crossings and traffic hazards
- Providing locations for story missions
- Giving the town a stronger industrial identity
The tracks may also extend beyond the town, potentially linking Port Gellhorn with Ambrosia or other industrial areas. Rockstar has not published the complete rail network.
Can Players Ride Trains in GTA 6?
We still have not fully heard from Rockstar about the train in GTA 6.
The new passenger train and new train station is in the game world. A train and a station does not mean that you can use every train to travel wherever you like.
The trains could be simple traffic in the environment, used for a few missions, or a new transportation system in the game.
A working passenger service would also be a realistic way to travel between the many regions of the huge Leonida map, and would extend to a very long distance between places like Vice City and Port Gellhorn and others.
We will have to wait for more information on the gameplay of GTA 6 to know how you are able to play with the train in the game, can you get on the train by buying a ticket, can you get in any part of the train including the carriages that the passengers are in and travel around freely.
Industrial Areas and Port Infrastructure
Here we can see in this screenshot of the Port Gellhorn railway, the massive cranes, and the lighting of facilities of the shipping company in the distance to evening.
Based on the screenshot we see the large machinery used for shipping etc. for handling cargo but we do not see the rest of the Port, the docks and the rest of the facilities for cargo that Rockstar has not shown yet.
This would be an entirely new area of exploration as opposed to the single road that runs down the center of the town with all of the various roadside shops and stores. The warehouses, the rail yards, the loading docks, and the service roads to all of these would make for some great story missions as well as open world driving.
Therefore this area would also be a great base to link to the rest of Leonida’s supply chain. Ambrosia is also a region shown to be industrial / agricultural in nature to help service the economy of the area, therefore it would be a great idea for Rockstar to link the two areas by rail to open up more Industrial/Agricultural-based story and gameplay to the area.
This connection is based on the information found in officially released images as of now.
Delights Cabaret
Delights is a named cabaret shown in an official Port Gellhorn screenshot.
The venue is surrounded by bright red and pink lighting, a parking lot filled with vehicles and residents gathered outside. Its illuminated sign advertises that the business remains open throughout the night.
Delights gives Port Gellhorn a nightlife identity separate from Vice City’s larger clubs and high-profile entertainment industry.
Vice City’s venues may be connected with performers, influencers and music businesses such as Only Raw Records. Port Gellhorn’s nightlife appears smaller, more local and less glamorous.
The cabaret could become:
- A meeting place for local contacts
- A location associated with Raul Bautista’s crew
- A destination during a regional side mission
- A business players can visit during free exploration
- A place where rumours and local information are exchanged
Rockstar has not confirmed whether Delights is fully enterable, whether it contains activities or whether it is connected directly to Raul.
Port Gellhorn’s Local Nightlife
Port Gellhorn does not appear completely inactive after sunset.
Rockstar’s screenshots show residents gathered outside entertainment venues, around parked vehicles and near a large outdoor fire. Drinks, folding chairs, coolers and music may form part of these local gatherings.
This atmosphere differs from the crowded clubs and celebrity culture associated with Vice City. Port Gellhorn’s entertainment appears more informal and community-based.
These gatherings could exist simply to make the world feel alive, or they could introduce random encounters and regional side activities.
Rockstar has not provided a formal list of Port Gellhorn nightlife activities.
Cars and Local Vehicle Culture
Vehicles are prominent throughout the Port Gellhorn screenshots.
Some examples of vehicles featured in official images of vehicles driving around the motel’s, clubs, bars, and back street gatherings of Port Gellhorn are: Pickup trucks, SUVs, sports cars, and more general vehicles such as cars.
They might even reflect a local car culture consisting of large, modified trucks and outdoor events of an informal nature.
Port Gellhorn has a lot of wider roads with lots of parking spaces. This part of town also has places like the train crossings and industrial type areas to get some more driving action in Vice City as opposed to driving through the center of the town.
Possible activities to feature in Port Gellhorn could be to show a vehicle meet, go off road for a bit and feature some local racing. None of these systems are confirmed for Port Gellhorn.
Street-Level Criminal Activity
A view of an exchange in progress next to a car parked along side another. A package is being thrown through the window of the first car, parked along side the other vehicle, with another individual standing next to it.
In the above screenshot taken in the game, the package transfer is happening on the streets of Port Gellhorn. Unfortunately in this case Rockstar haven’t gone into details about the package or why it’s being transferred on the streets.
This is important because it shows that there is more to the criminal activity in the area of Port Gellhorn than Raul Bautista’s line of work as a professional robber for hire in Vice City.
The various criminal activities going on in Port Gellhorn are possibly smaller then Raul Bautista’s professional robberies, and might consist of smaller local operations, just normal people you pass on the street that you don’t know, or even crime in Vice City that isn’t organized through a professional like Raul Bautista.
It is unclear whether or not this shot is part of a scripted scenario (storyline) or simply a random encounter/environment within the game. Unfortunately, no information was given as to what the player can expect to do with this in terms of gameplay.
Raul Bautista’s Connection to Port Gellhorn
Raul Bautista has been confirmed for GTA 6 as he is featured in Rockstar’s official presentation for Port Gellhorn.
Raul Bautista – A seasoned bank robber. Very Confident. Very Charming. Very Intelligent. Looking for the right people to join his crew to do the professional jobs for huge risk and reward.
Note: We can not confirm where in Port Gellhorn he resides or where his operations are headquartered, but it’s more than likely somewhere in the city.
Port Gellhorn could potentially hold Raul’s crew, places of planning for the heists and Raul’s professional contacts that can assist him in obtaining the greatest rewards for the greatest risks.
For now, Raul’s started to rob places like local motels, and fancy nightclubs, warehouses of businesses in Port Gellhorn, and then he will make his way to Vice City and the rest of Leonida.
Read our complete Raul Bautista character guide for his personality, crew and possible story role.
Could Raul Recruit Jason and Lucia in Port Gellhorn?
No information provided by Rockstar Games about where Raul first meets Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
This is just hypothetical. As previously stated, Rockstar has not confirmed where Raul first meets Jason and Lucia. But I can establish a plausible location for this meeting between Raul and the other two, in search of their respective goals.
Jason’s experience in the Army as well as his previous life of crime would most likely be something that Raul would be interested in for his future operations. The confident and determined Lucia would be someone that a crew leader would surely look at for potential involvement in future missions.
The meeting could take place at The Starlet Motel, Delights or any other business located in Port Gellhorn.
Please remember this is just a theory for the story, Raul could have met them in Vice City while taking part in a heist for example, or through another supporting character.
Could Port Gellhorn Feature Bank Robbery Missions?
An association with Raul Bautista is required for creating robbery related missions for the game. But so far there is no official Port Gellhorn bank confirmed by Rockstar Games.
Instead of the whole region just being for the robberies, it could be where the characters plan their heists before traveling to other locations in Leonida to hit their targets.
They are planning the robbery in a motel, parking lot or warehouse within the Leonida region and then drive to the larger target in that area for the heist.
There are also some local financial institutions within Port Gellhorn which would make good targets for a robbery.
Rockstar has not revealed a mission list, target list or even a full robbery system for the game.
Port Gellhorn and the Failed Score
Official Storyline so far for Grand Theft Auto 6 – An Easy Heist Gone Wrong for Jason and Lucia as they get pulled into a massive and connected crime organization spanning the whole of Leonida.
Many fans believe the score fails in Raul’s specialty, Port Gellhorn.
There is currently no confirmation supporting that conclusion.
This heist could have been failed by Raul, Brian Heder or even another character to the game that has yet to be revealed, and that is what sparks the events of the story.
Rockstar is keeping his role prior to the main score, during the main score, and after the main score a secret in order to prevent the leaking of information regarding the GTA 6 story.
Where Is Port Gellhorn on the GTA 6 Map?
There is no official map of Vice City from Rockstar Games, and no confirmation of the coordinates to Port Gellhorn.
There are a few mapping projects for the game that attempt to pinpoint the location of the fictional town of Port Gellhorn. These map projects are based off the screens shots of the trailer(s) for the game as well as the in game screenshots.
These maps are unofficial in the sense that until the complete official map of Vice City is released, the final location of Port Gellhorn and such other details as the length of the roads in Vice City to its center, and the boundaries to other areas, are subject to change.
Port Gellhorn is depicted as a town in it’s own right and as being outside of the main Vice City metropolitan area, although it’s unclear just how far from the Vice City center Port Gellhorn is.
How Big Is Port Gellhorn?
The exact size of Port Gellhorn has not been announced.
Five screenshots show motels, entertainment, railway infrastructure, industrial surroundings and residential activity. This suggests the region extends beyond one small street.
However, screenshots cannot provide a reliable measurement of the complete town.
Port Gellhorn could be a compact but detailed regional centre or a broader area containing several communities and industrial zones.
Port Gellhorn Compared With Vice City
| Feature | Port Gellhorn | Vice City |
|---|---|---|
| Overall atmosphere | Older, rougher and more regional | Large, glamorous and heavily populated |
| Buildings | Motels, low-rise venues and industrial structures | Hotels, towers, clubs and luxury properties |
| Nightlife | Local cabarets and informal gatherings | Major clubs, performers and music businesses |
| Transportation | Cars, trucks and railway infrastructure | Dense traffic, boats, motorcycles and urban roads |
| Known character connection | Raul Bautista | Boobie Ike, Dre’Quan Priest and Real Dimez |
Both regions may offer criminal opportunities, but their visual style and social environment appear significantly different.
Explore the main city through our complete GTA 6 Vice City guide.
Port Gellhorn Compared With the Leonida Keys
The Leonida Keys focuses on tropical islands, boats, bridges, marine wildlife and coastal communities.
Port Gellhorn appears more heavily connected to road travel, railways, motels and industrial infrastructure.
Jason already lives and works in the Keys, while Raul is associated with Port Gellhorn. Travelling between the regions could represent Jason’s movement from smaller local jobs toward larger professional robberies.
Rockstar has not confirmed a direct storyline progression between the two locations.

Possible Activities in Port Gellhorn
Rockstar has not published an official activity list for the region.
Based on the released environments, possible activities could include:
- Exploring motels and roadside businesses
- Travelling through railway and industrial districts
- Meeting regional criminal contacts
- Visiting local entertainment venues
- Participating in vehicle-related events
- Completing missions for Raul Bautista
- Discovering random roadside encounters
- Using the town as a stop between larger Leonida regions
These are reasonable possibilities based on the official screenshots. They should not be treated as confirmed gameplay systems.
Will Port Gellhorn Have Enterable Buildings?
Rockstar has not confirmed how many Port Gellhorn buildings players can enter.
The Starlet Motel and Delights cabaret appear detailed enough to become mission or exploration interiors, but the screenshots show only their exterior areas.
Railway stations, motels, entertainment venues and industrial buildings could provide a useful range of interiors.
Claims that every motel room, warehouse or business will be accessible remain unsupported.
Could Port Gellhorn Be a Safe Region for Jason and Lucia?
Port Gellhorn’s distance from Vice City could make it useful when Jason and Lucia need to leave the main city temporarily.
Motels, railway links and regional contacts could provide transportation and temporary accommodation.
However, Raul’s high-risk criminal operations may make the town equally dangerous. If his crew operates there, powerful criminals and law enforcement may already be paying attention to the area.
Rockstar has not described Port Gellhorn as a safe zone or confirmed any temporary hiding mechanic.

Final Thoughts
Port Gellhorn already looks like one of GTA 6’s most atmospheric regional locations.
The Starlet Motel, railway platform, industrial cranes, Delights cabaret and outdoor gatherings establish a town that feels very different from Vice City’s beaches and luxury towers.
Its visual identity appears older, rougher and more local. Rather than focusing on tourists and online celebrities, Port Gellhorn seems shaped by roadside businesses, transport infrastructure and residents who have created their own nightlife and social spaces.
Raul Bautista’s association could make the region important to GTA 6’s robbery storyline. His search for talented crew members may eventually bring him into contact with Jason and Lucia.
However, Rockstar is still keeping most of the location secret. The complete map, exact size, position within Leonida, number of interiors, train system and connection to the failed score remain unknown.
