Common questions
- How do I learn the controls?
- Tap Learn the controls on the chart screen. It is a guided two-and-a-half minute tour covering the throttles, wheel, bow thruster, sails, mooring pickup, the anchor and the dinghy.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Once installed, the whole simulator runs with no connection — it is built for a boat at anchor with no signal.
- Where is my progress saved?
- On your device only. There is no account and nothing is uploaded, which also means progress does not transfer between devices and is removed if you delete the app.
- The throttles feel small on my phone.
- Turn the phone to landscape. The view goes full screen and the throttles move to the left and right edges, under your thumbs.
- How do I pick up a mooring ball?
- Come up to the ball slowly — under about a knot and a half — with the ball near the bow. When it is within a boathook's reach, Hook the ball lights up on the console.
- Is this real chart data?
- Coastlines and structures come from openly licensed sources and depths are hand-authored estimates. It is a trainer, not a navigation aid — never use it to navigate a real vessel.
