How it feels

You pilot a variety of boats in realistic water physics with variable weather, offering a calm and educational first- or third-person seafaring experience that is best in VR but works on a monitor.

What players say

Players praise the boat physics and water effects, saying it is the best VR boat sim for the sense of being on water. But many call the content thin with only a few boats and a small map, and performance is a common complaint even on strong hardware. Players split on the price, with some calling it overpriced for the early-access state while others appreciate the responsive developer.
