### 2/5 — Auf dem iPhone kaum nutzbar

*2026-02-09*

Beim Steuern wischt man permanent den Bildschirm nach oben. Ist somit nicht wirklich nutzbar

### 5/5 — Hafenskipper2 noch besser als Hafenskipper!

*2025-03-25*

Sehr realistisch und schön,dass man über die Einstellungen so viele Parameter verändern kann

### 5/5 — Great game/simulator

*2025-03-12*

Great practice tool and fun game to get your ready for the boating season

### 5/5 — Hafenskipper 2

*2024-12-14*

Super realistisch. Wer hier das System Schiff-manövrieren erlernt und begreift tut sich in der Praxis erheblich leichter. Fender anbringen und später wieder stauen wäre eine tolles Upgrade.

### 5/5 — Einfach top

*2024-09-02*

Hier habe ich Boot-Fahren gelernt und war danach im realen Leben erfolgreich 💙

### 4/5 — Demo bleibt gleich - Tender aus- und einbringen fehlt - Verbesserung der Kamerafunktion

*2023-12-17*

Hallo Team, 

der Simulator ist sehr hilfreich und gut. Dennoch fehlen mir zum einen die sich den Einstellungen anpassenden Demos (z.B. wenn ich bei der Motoryacht von zwei Motoren auf einem Motor umschalte, verändert sich das entsprechende Demo nicht, es bleibt bei zwei Motoren, des Weiteren wäre es realistischer, wenn das Aus- und einbringen von Tendern möglich wäre und zum dritten, wäre eine Verbesserung der Kamerafunktion in der 3-D Sicht sehr schön, mit der man auch möglichst realistischer z.B. die Abstände vom Boot zum Ufer/Steg etc. einschätzen kann. 
Noch ein Wunsch. Steuert man z.B. die Motoryacht mit einem Motor ist die Wendigkeit z.B. beim Drehen deutlich langsamer, folglich dauern die Manöver länger als mit zwei Motoren, die zur Verfügung stehende Zeit bleibt aber gleich.

### 4/5 — Très bien

*2023-06-21*

Il serait bien d’avoir des bateaux pontons (pontoon, boat), leur pilotage est particulier, surtout pour s’amarrer. Il serait bien aussi de pouvoir déplacer le bateau où l’on veut sur le plan d’eau. Merci.

### 4/5 — Très bien pour s’entraîner aux maneuvres

*2023-05-20*

Plusieurs situations pour s’entraîner : en marche avant, arrière, …

### 5/5 — I was actually thinking of building a game like this

*2022-10-30*

It’s simply perfect for practice in any environment. You have up to five dock lines and can adjust the physics to mirror those of any yacht.

I don’t like practicing with our million dollar yacht.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2022-10-15*

Amazing app worth the money 100 percent. I just move up from a single engine 140, to a 40ft van Dutch win twin engines this app helped me understand the boy thruster and which ways to use the twin engine. Worth every penny
