## What is Boat Sim Pro?

The next generation of open boat sim for iOS.

This latest edition of our popular boat sim series is the most advanced yet!

This app brings you 3 boats to sail in a large area, purposely designed with no time limits or goals, simply relax, and sail where you want for as long as you choose.

Navigation is fun and easy, the scenery now has geographical features (terrain / buildings etc)  along the coast, and they're charted with actual nautical symbols for you to follow using the binocular view!

There are plenty of other boats around, including at the detailed docks.

Boats have appropriate lights to make them visible at night, use the binoculars to search and avoid other boats!

The water is now absolutely beautiful, with waves lapping realistically around you.

The user interface allows easy access to the chart, binoculars, and even some bonus music (different for each boat).

You can change which boat you are sailing directly from the user interface in real time, without need to go to a menu page.

## Key features

- Open world boat simulation
- No time limits or goals
- Realistic water and scenery
- Nautical chart navigation
- Binocular view for spotting
- Multiple boats to sail

### 1/5 — CRAP

*2019-03-09, version 1.01*

Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap oh......and....let me think...........C-R-A-p

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-03-18, version 1.01*

DO NOT GET!!!!!
 Horrible

### 4/5 — Great Game But One thing...

*2017-09-01, version 1.01*

It's good but please add money and cargo ships or cruise ship. The boats are slow that are in it now. Also if you could make a way where the money you earn goes toward upgrading the engine or buying a new boat. I hope you consider my comment!

### 1/5 — My Problem With This Game...

*2016-08-15, version 1.01*

There is so much lag in this game! It is absolutely ridiculous! I am running latest IOS version, and it still crashes when you open the app! This problem should be addressed. I have never really played the game because of the lag. I'm now very upset I spent my money on this simulator since it crashes constantly.

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2016-06-21, version 1.01*

No lag on iPhone 6 64 GB latest iOS. This has a harbor horse-shoe land geography feel. Boats have first person bridge view where you can pan 360 around. Also has a third person 360 view. You have to use a 2 finger pinch to pan. The three boats are a sailboat, a larger tugboat and a typical 20 footer speed boat. These boat sims would be better with a "hazard" or "danger" element added in like sandbars, rocks, and random storms where you can sink or damage your ship if you are careless. You can dock for repairs. Add rain showers and storms. Have a slider bar in settings where user can set chance of rain. Add a depth meter so you can monitor for shallow water. Waves seem a little too bouncy like a trampoline in first person view only. Third person looks fine. Water does look realistic but The default waves seem semi-rough so there needs to be more wave options.  Navigation is too easy once you know you're in a horseshoe harbor layout. Keep the updates coming.

### 5/5 — Excellent sailing sim

*2016-06-20, version 1.01*

I prefer the new controls.

I had no lag, it runs smoothly, maybe the other reviewer uses an iPhone 1 with 50 apps running?

### 2/5 — Lag

*2016-06-19, version 1.01*

The game lags way too much, it's impossible to play
