They really need an update. ### 4/5 — Needs more boats *2025-10-01, version 1.8.0* Can you add catamarans ### 3/5 — Not very realistic *2025-08-25, version 1.7.3* It is not how the boat behave. It is a game, not w simulator. ### 2/5 — To hard *2025-06-16, version 1.7.3* It was too hard for my kids that they hated that the boat would drift so much and make you die on the easiest level it needs to be easer. ### 4/5 — Gioco molto carino *2025-02-25, version 1.7.1* 4 stelle perché si può migliorare inerzia, grafica e livelli gratuiti, quelli disponibili sono troppo pochi… ### 2/5 — No catamaran *2024-11-30, version 1.7.1* There is a picture of a catamaran but you can’t select the Catamaran to use ### 2/5 — Free drive *2024-07-15, version 1.7.1* I would like to be able to drive in a open world were I can go to different islands and drive everywhere ### 4/5 — fun but possible bug *2024-06-08* Can you all help? I have the game on IOS and I can’t get above one star on motorboat navigation 1. I stayed to the right of green and to the left of red and parked without any damage in under 5 minutes. I also followed the weird pattern the starting demo showed navigating the markers sometimes cutting between them for some reason, parked without damage in under 5 minutes. Still only one star. Any suggestions? ### 3/5 — Algunos fallos *2024-03-20, version 1.7.1* No aparecen los thrusters de proa y popa en algunos niveles del superyacht. Antes bastaba con reiniciar la partida pero ya ni eso. ### 4/5 — Das ist schon gut, was hier passiert! *2024-03-16, version 1.7.1* Selbstverständlich kann man noch ein paar Effekte wie den Radeffekt einbauen und ein paar Unterscheidungen der Bootstypen programmieren. Ich fahre seit vielen Jahren Boote und finde, dass das Programm mit Strömungs- und Windversatz wirklich gut gemacht ist. Also meine Begeisterung hat das Programmiererteam. ### 3/5 — Good but tires quickly *2023-12-27, version 1.7.1* Fun little app to help you think about berthing a boat. Limited selection of boats and weather, tide prop walk effects never add much variation. The marina never gives you a duff seaward pontoon, it’s never necessary to chose between astern and forward berthing they are always both good options. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst game ever! *2026-06-29, version 1.8.3* The controls do not make any sense and I can never find a game I like so app developers change the controls to like a left arrow and right arrow or make a steering wheel and please look in other games so you can get an idea of how to set up the controls! PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME BETTER!!!! ### 1/5 — Worst game ever! *2026-05-25, version 1.8.3* The controls do not make any sense and I can never find a game I like so app developers change the controls to like a left arrow and right arrow or make a steering wheel and please look in other games so you can get an idea of how to set up the controls! PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME BETTER!!!! ### 1/5 — Boring after two minutes *2026-05-11, version 1.8.3* It was fun for the first few minutes, but there’s not that much stuff that you can do and I failed every single time on the easiest level so I think this game is way too hard for me and it’s just boring like there’s nothing to do just except for documenting your phone and spending real money for a **** different boat ### 1/5 — Not realistic *2025-06-23, version 1.7.3* This game is not at all realistic as the controls are very jerky. It doesn’t let you dock right. I would not get this app if I was you. ### 1/5 — Not worth the time *2024-10-13, version 1.7.1* 0 out of 5 ### 1/5 — If I could rate this game ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ then I would, but I have to rate it ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ *2024-09-03, version 1.7.1* This game cost a lot of money to get any other boat than your regular boat. The graphics might be good, but the waves like a real jet ski or boat cost a lot of money and write what I started playing. I hated it do not get this game. ### 1/5 — Not realistic handling *2024-07-23, version 1.7.1* The boats handle like they are on wheels not on water. You can change the position of the engine with no thrust and if the boat is moving it will still steer which is lame ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-07-17, version 1.7.1* Needs a lot of improvements ### 1/5 — BORING *2024-01-04, version 1.7.1* The boat is so hard to drive and too hard so I think 1 star ### 1/5 — Batería y calentamiento *2023-09-13, version 1.6.8* En cuanto juegas 10-15min la batería desciende un montón y tengo el iPhone 14plus y el calentamiento es extremadamente rápido y alto al punto de tener que meter el móvil en el congelador con todas las cosas en su última versión de actualización por lo demás perfecto buen juego ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Honestly a good game *2026-05-23, version 1.8.3* Realistic controls challenging and fun ### 5/5 — Best boat game *2025-09-28, version 1.8.0* Boat master is such a fun game! You dock boats and it’s realistic. I have to brag, I completed level expert without crashing ### 5/5 — Game *2025-08-05, version 1.7.3* Great game but could use some center console boats as well single twin triple quad and quint ### 5/5 — Need to figure out *2025-03-15, version 1.7.1* The water physics to make this game a lot more precise and accurate I love this game ### 5/5 — Bien mais… *2025-01-02, version 1.7.1* Ce jeu est super bien,les graphismes,les ombres,les reflets!Mes les commandes sont trop dur a utiliser ### 5/5 — TRÈS BON JEU *2024-08-19, version 1.7.1* C’est un des meilleurs jeux de bateaux seulement il manque des fonctionnalités et ajout qui pourrait lui faire devenir les meilleurs .Par exemple dans certains on peut poser l’ancre,mettre des parbatages,choisir le type de moteur,personnalisé le bateau… Ceci sont que des petits amusements mais ce qui manque cruellement à ce jeu sont les vagues !!! ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2024-08-11, version 1.7.1* If the dev team can figure out the water physics, this can become a boating simulator. ### 5/5 — Super *2024-04-01, version 1.7.1* Bewerte normal nie, aber zum Üben...Topp... ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-01-02* That game is great but I wish that maybe in a future up date you could unlock that boat with money and stuff and maybe a free drive or something would also be nice ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-01-22, version 1.6.8* Now I have an idea and some confidence. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
