About this game

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 and fenders. The wind strength can be set individually depending upon desired degree of difficulty.

Since version 2.3 you can also hoist the sails and the wind behind mountains is calculated correctly.

When subscribed you will get access to the scene editor and also be able to share scenes with your friends or students.

IMPORTANT:
If you do not have a recent device with strong CPU and GPU, let the app run for a minute. It will try to measure performance and reduce the ocean quality accordingly. Optionally, change parameters in the system settings inside the app.

Ratings and reviews

(Updated based on developer response.) Basic tutorial is free for evaluation. Probably easier to use on a tablet, I had difficulty tapping the tiny buttons on mobile. The controls for non-basic actions weren't entirely clear to me especially for pulling in lines, apparently there are tutorial videos that could help. I didn't pay for any content, and might try the game again sometime.

Interesting App and I usually go for the paid option, but this one is not ready. There are far too few simulations to warrant a yearly subscription of $13. Seems a one time pay at this point would be appropriate. UPDATE: Your analogy is flawed. My point is that your app is totally locked but it did peak my interest and would probably pay at a lower price point. But, I guess the 5 minutes I spent installing it and going through the tutorial will be it for me.

It's probably really good but running a simulation on a tiny screen using touch screen controls is awful. So, I decided to cast my phone screen to my 65" TV and that was already a lot better. I also have a bluetooth game controller but sadly the game even though it is written in Unity does not allow the use of a game controller. Developer: Please, please support basic game controllers it essentially makes this a desktop app and no more fumble fingers on the screen.
