Direct answer: there aren’t distinct raft archetypes to pick from in Raft. The game focuses on one raft that you expand and customize, not multiple independent vessels. You can alter its layout with floors, walls, and foundations to suit your style, but it remains a single connected structure that moves as one unit (you can’t run separate boats in the same world).

Beyond this, you can get creative with your one raft. You build upward and outward using foundations, nets, pillars, and floors, effectively crafting many distinct looks—ranging from sprawling mansion-like bases to multi-story layouts—while still staying on one raft. The early-game notes highlight these building blocks and the idea of expanding from a basic wreckage into a buoyant home.
