Sharkbay is a community-created King of the Hill map. It takes place in the harbor in New York, USA, with the main control point being on a boat named Iron Inkwell from Brisbane, Australia, docked between RED and BLU's wharves. A local newspaper seen on the loading screen, as well as various in-game signs, advertise an increased abundance of shark sightings in the area. There are various seagulls flying around the map.
Sharkbay was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Dock: The spawn room and the area immediately outside of it. The spawn room itself contains an aquarium with a shark swimming in circles.

- Transfer: The way between the team's Wharfs and flank to the stern of the Iron Inkwell, contains a medium health kit and ammo pack.

- The Iron Inkwell uses the Tide Turner as its steering wheel.
