The Gup-B is a shark-styled Gup with one seat. Known for its fast speed and acceleration, it is Kwazii's favorite Gup. He mainly uses it for almost all the missions the Octonauts go on, takes it out for solo missions, or to just have fun driving it around, such as racing with fast creature. It is also the fastest Gup of all, even faster than the Gup-R.

Trivia[]
- It is the fastest out of all the Gups, as it can keep ahead of a Pacific Sailfish.
- Some fish (like the Humuhumunukunukuapua'as) mistake the Gup-B for an actual shark and get scared. Even the Hammerhead Sister Pup saw the Gup (in Tiger Shark mode) and got scared.
- Kwazii said that he painted the shark teeth on the Gup-B himself.
- The Gup-B obtains retractable pectoral fins and a tail, as seen in The Flying Fish.
- Like Shellington with the Gup-D, Kwazii has an unexpected tendency to crash the Gup-B, especially when he goes too fast.
- Like the Gup-D, outside of flying fish mode, there is no visible way for the Gup to move forward.
- Although Kwazii is the Gup's default pilot, Peso and Tweak have been seen at the crafts wheel on a few occasions.
- In The Damselfish episode, Peso drives the Gup for the first time and calls it a "Getaway Gup." He feels nervous at first, but soon finds that driving it is pretty fun.
- In the Tiger Shark episode, as Tweak tries to avoid being eaten by Tom the Tiger Shark, the Gup-B is revealed to have a few other modes. Although, she ended up crashing it in a cave. In the same episode Tiger Shark mode was revealed.
- In The Spinner Dolphins, Kwazii was able to use the Gup to act like a spinner dolphin and lead the dolphins (while asleep and awake) out of the trash in the bay.
- Kwazii is very protective towards the Gup, not wanting to let it out of his sight, as seen in The Octonauts and the Ring of Fire.
- This gup has been seen at least twice in Octonauts: Above & Beyond, like when Kwazii would meet up on a beach with his granddad, like in The Beetle Invasion and The Sand Cat.
- The Prototype version was blue and didn't have teeth, fins, eyes, and was blue and was a little smaller.
