More repetitions
Approach to the pier, departure from the dock and marina maneuvers can be practised many times under the same conditions.
For sailing schools, charter academies and training centres
VR marina handling simulator for sailing schools
Students practise docking, approach, reverse, inertia and low-speed manoeuvres with a physical helm and engine control lever. The instructor follows the 3D view, instruments and recorded track, then repeats and debriefs each exercise.
Not instead of the water. Before it.

Pre-water preparation
Build the first handling skills before water
The simulator helps the student understand boat handling in advance. On water, they consolidate the skill in real conditions.
Time savings
The instructor spends less time explaining basic actions on water.
Calmer first session
The student understands what is happening around them, feels less lost and follows the instructor’s commands with more confidence.
Quick refresh after a break
Before the season or after a long pause, the student can quickly and safely refresh handling and return to practice.
