## What is Dock your Boat 3D?

This completely redesigned 3D Version of the famous App "Dock Your Boat" offers even greater enjoyment of training because of its advanced user-friendly functions and beautiful artwork. The developers are passionate skippers by themselves and bring their sailing experience into the game.  

The basic concept behind Dock your Boat 3D is the same as for the first 2D Version: The boat and harbour-simulator for docking and undocking under engine helps the skipper to improve her/his skills in safe manoeuvring of yachts in different environments. It also allows to handle lines, fenders and anchor. The wind strength can be set individually depending upon desired degree of difficulty. 

If you want to play all scenes you will have to purchase a subscription. You will get access to all existing and future scenes then.
From now on you can also design your own scenes and share with your friends or students.

We offer several subscription models ranging from 1 week to 1 year.

The price is shown inside the app since it slightly varies for different countries. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your App Store account settings after purchase.

Should also work on older devices back to 2015!

Recommendation:
Make sure the app can access the internet on the first run! It should download scenes and other configurations that might be specific for your device. After that network is not needed anymore. However you will not get any configuration updates or new scenes then!
You might have to tap the "Factory reset" button on the start screen, if you encounter problems.

### 5/5 — Very good  but add more boats

*2026-08-13, version 26.5*

One of the best mobile boat game I’ve ever seen but it’s just they need to add bigger boats

### 5/5 — Would love to play more scenes

*2026-07-31, version 26.5*

I would love to buy more scenes and practice levels. I don’t have the patience or skills to build them myself. I want to keep practicing but I got bored with the same levels :)

### 5/5 — Very realistic

*2026-07-23*

It helped me a lot with docking a real sailboat. I understand that I could build my own scenes but I’m willing to pay for access to more scenes. Is there a list of PIN numbers I could use to subscribe to more scenes?

**Developer response:** Thank you for the rating. The PIN is more for sharing scenes between friends or students from a sailing school.

### 5/5 — Great games

*2026-06-05, version 26.3*

Wish you could do more stuff in the free version wish there were more boats maybe like a fishing boat but great game

### 3/5 — Wtf

*2026-05-30, version 26.3*

I love it, but we still have to put help charter on

### 5/5 — Tide

*2026-04-17, version 26.3*

A working tide system would be great with marinas that you can only enter at high tide etc

### 1/5 — Nothing to do

*2026-04-07, version 26.3*

Can someone tell me otherwise but I couldn’t find the ‘open world ‘ part because it said I need a subscription can you add something for the free version

### 5/5 — Super Realistic! More scenes??

*2026-03-26, version 26.3*

Love this app!!! I’m actual ocean boater and the realism is incredibly accurate. When get we expect more scenes??

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-02-20, version 26.3*

The physics are pretty close to docking an actual boat, by far the closest you will find on a phone game. I spent money for the paid version to throw some money at the developers to enhance the game, particularly new boats. There are only 3 boats to choose from and that is the only downfall of the game. Some boats are a little too responsive vs real life, but those are the ONLY complaints. Great job to the team and hopefully we will see some big updates in the future.

### 4/5 — Too little vessels

*2025-12-22, version 24.2*

The game is really good and all but I would like it if the game had more vessels to choose from and I don’t like that you have to buy a subscription just to do the first level
