The S.S. Cheapskate is a fishing boat that plays a major role in the episode "Clams." It was used by Mr. Krabs to take SpongeBob and Squidward on a trip to go clam-fishing in a smelly lagoon.

Description

The S.S. Cheapskate is a very old fishing boat, with some brown rust marks on the hull. The boat is painted white and appears to be made of wood. At the top is a steering wheel, along with a tall red flag at the back. It also has a refrigerator and some deck chairs on board. The boat also has a few rafts over its rails and a porthole at the bottom with an anchor coming out of it.
