  • Control

    The boats are really hard to control this a rubbish game I don't recommend this game
  • Addictive

    Just a bit of fun in lockdown
  • Some room for improvement

    I use this app when I’m not out on my boat. Over the years I’ve owned many boats but leave them in a different state. I would say certain aspects of this are quite good and realisitic however, there is some room for improvement such as, if a PWC crashes into you it should not fail your mission. In the real world, the less maneuverable vessel can hold its ground while lesser maneuverable vessels have to give way. Furthermore, winds seem to affect the boat more at the slip than in the basin. No doubt the graphics are great but some things just don’t make sense. I also think it would be quite cool to add a free play section where you are able to venture off and explore an open world on your own. To make this more realistic, a first person view would be much appreciated. A cool intentioned game / sim but clearly some room for improvement and added features.

  • Outstanding

    The boat’s response to the throttle inputs seems fairly accurate, and the graphics are incredible. Great for training, and fun at the same time. My only complaint is that, since the simulator is so good, I wish there were more added to it. There are a lot of scenarios that would make great additions. Regardless, this is a great simulator and a fun game at the same time. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • Meh..

    The docking element is fun at first, but not all that realistic. The elements (wind and current) seem to affect the vessel much more right in/near the slip than in the fairway. If planning to align to a slip and then let the wind or current to move the boat to the slip, you will sit two slips down waiting forever. But when in the slip, the wind or current is more than strong enough to push the boat quickly into the dock or the neighboring boat.

    The navigation element should be viewed strictly as a video game and not at all a simulation. Even when you’re operating in full reverse or at a dead stop other vessels are more than happy to crash into your vessel—especially the PWCs: they not only don’t hold their course, they will actively change their course into you.

    Overall, it is fun for the first few minutes and worth getting the free options, but after a few days of playing, I’m not at all tempted to purchasing any of the options and will likely remove it from my device shortly.

  • Great for new boaters

    This app isn’t the greatest per say and really it’s the best your going to get for your standard mobile phones or tablets. I’m new to yachting and having duel engines and this is helping out a lot in how to maneuver it.
  • It is not easy for me

    Hi I am 8 years old but when you are older you used to it
  • Frustrating steering

    Very frustrating and unrealistic steering. First of all there is an extremely small selection area making the wheel unresponsive unless you touch just the right spots. Secondly, in a real boat you have to quickly steal full right to full left, especially in tight quarters like docking in a marina. The way the steering is implemented, when you try this you end up going left and right when going back to grab the wheel. Overall a very frustrating experience.
