The week 8 quest in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 asks you to perform an emote on the Duck Yacht dancefloor. The hard part is not the dancing. It is tracking down a floating yellow duck that never shows up on your map.

Quick answer: Land on the giant yellow Duck Yacht floating off the coast west of Heatwave Harbor, climb the outside staircase to the first floor, then open your emote wheel and play any emote for a second or two while standing on the dancefloor.


Duck Yacht location in Chapter 7 Season 3

The Duck Yacht sits west of the Heatwave Harbor POI. Look to the southern coast of an unnamed island within the archipelago, and you will spot a large yellow duck floating just offshore. Because it is neither a named POI nor a landmark, nothing marks it on the map, which is why it can be easy to miss on your first few drops.

The surrounding area is worth a quick look too. It holds cash registers you can search for gold bars while you are there.


How to reach the Duck Yacht

The fastest way in is to glide straight down from the Battle Bus onto the yacht. That only works if the bus route passes close enough, so it is not guaranteed every match. If the path is far off, drop on solid ground nearby and cover the remaining distance using an Air Sprite or a Batman Sprite.

Once you are on the boat, head to the first floor to reach the dancefloor. Take the staircase on the outside of the yacht. The interior layout can get confusing, so the outdoor route is the cleaner option.

Emote on the dancefloor to complete the quest

Any emote counts. You just need to be standing on the dancefloor while it plays. The controls depend on your platform.

Stay on the dancefloor and let the emote run for a second or two. A progress bar will appear and fill, confirming the quest is done. You do not need a specific dance, and there is no long timer to wait out.

Note: If the progress bar does not appear, you are likely standing just off the dancefloor rather than on it. Move onto the marked deck area and emote again.


Reward and deadline

Completing the quest grants 12,000 XP, which feeds directly into your Chapter 7 Season 3 Battle Pass progress. There is no rush to knock it out in a single session, since the quest stays available until the end of the season.
