SAILORSIM
Sail & motor boat simulator
Free
New in 3.0: a speedboat with planing, trim and wave jumps, and a time trial from Salou to La Pineda against a rival. Free, no ads.
Take the helm and sail or motor across the Mediterranean, from the Costa Dorada to the Balearic Islands.
SailorSim is a boating simulator with a 3D view and a nautical chart. Hoist the sails, trim your course to the wind, manoeuvre under engine inside the harbour and moor alongside the pontoon. Or set off on a long passage from Salou to Mallorca or from Palma to Menorca, with day and night passing over the sea.
MISSIONS
- Leaving port: cast off and reach open water without touching anything.
- Sailing: learn to beat, reach and run with shifting winds.
- Salou regatta: find the start line, win the position and round the marks ahead of your rivals.
- Guided sailing: follow the route waypoint by waypoint.
- Docking: enter the harbour and moor with precision.
- Salou coves: cruise the coast among beaches, shoals and buoys.
- Entering Maó harbour: head up one of the longest natural harbours in the Mediterranean to the visitor pontoon.
- Passages: Salou–Palma, Salou–Mahón and Palma–Mahón.
THE SEA AND THE BOAT
- Wind with changing direction and strength, plus an apparent wind indicator.
- Sails and engine, with fuel consumption: if you run dry, use the reserve can, carry on under sail or call for help. Refuel when you reach port.
- Buoyage: lateral marks, isolated danger marks, beach buoys and lighthouses flashing at night.
- Marine traffic: container ships, ferries, yachts and other craft moving around the area.
- Coastline with relief and shallow water: watch out for rocks and shoals, you can run aground.
RADIO AND RESCUE
- VHF radio with voice messages.
- SOS button: send a MAYDAY, get the acknowledgement and wait for the rescue boat, which tows you to the nearest port so you can carry on sailing.
CONTROLS
- 3D view with smooth zoom and free camera: tap a ship or an object to focus on it, double tap to return to your boat.
- Nautical chart showing the mission route.
- Route pilot: "Follow route", and "Back to route" if you have strayed.
- Time acceleration for long passages.
- Restart the mission at any time.
- Save and resume passages.
FOR MAC, IPAD AND IPHONE
Layout adapted to every screen, with all controls available on iPhone too. Includes a full in-app manual in Spanish and English.

more ailorSim 3.0: the speedboat is here!
New 8.5 m speedboat with twin 200 hp engines. It is moored next to your yacht in Salou harbour. To change boat, double-tap the other boat on the pontoon (double-click on Mac) and you are aboard.
• Gets on the plane and reaches about 40 knots. Set the trim with its lever: a green line shows the ideal point.
• Jumps the waves and lands with slams and bow spray.
• From the cockpit you see the dashboard with rev and speed gauges, the wheel and the throttle.
New mission: Time trial to La Pineda. Eight buoy gates around Cap de Salou. Race against your record or the red speedboat, and choose the sea and the surprises: a pedal boat, a dive boat or a squall.
Also new
• Sea follows the wind: waves build and drop with the wind, and the water inside the harbours is sheltered.
• Home button on the engine panel, to go back to harbour and start from scratch or repeat the mission.
• When you quit you can continue where you left off, repeat the mission or start again.
• Wind, race and passage panels redesigned to fit on a single screen.

Smoother and more realistic
• Smoother graphics on iPhone, iPad and Mac: lighter image effects, simpler shadows and optimised anti-aliasing.
• Realistic turns: the bow leads into the turn, the stern swings out and the boat heels as it turns.
• More natural outside camera: it follows the boat smoothly and goes with it through turns, so you can see the boat moving over the sea.
• New wooden steering wheel with turned handles, a brass hub and a knob on the king spoke.
• A slightly brighter scene.
• The wheel always starts free and centred, and tilt steering starts off on every device.
• The beam-sea warning now clears itself once you change course.
• Minor fixes.

VERSION 2.1 · FIX
- Fixed on iPhone Plus and Pro Max: the controls appeared at iPad size, covering the top bar and getting cut off at the bottom. They now display correctly.
VERSION 2.0: a big free update
OPTIMISED FOR IPHONE DUO
- Open in landscape: full iPad-style view, with the sails on one side and engine and helm on the other.
- Open in portrait: split-screen helm station.
- Closed: controls rearranged so nothing is covered or cut off.
NEW i HELP BUTTON
- Yellow button in the top bar: explains every icon and control, and reminds you that you can change the wind and sea state at any time.
- Manual expanded with the chapter "Heavy weather and damage".
IMPROVED GRAPHICS
- Salou coast with real relief: sandy beaches, cliffs and the coves of Cap de Salou, in comic style.
- Renewed Salou harbour: Club Nàutic, breakwater, huts, palm trees, and moored sailboats, motorboats and yachts.
- More detailed sailboat: white hull with stripes, bathing platform with ladder, steel pulpit and pushpit, sprayhood and mainsail cover.
- Mahón harbour entrance: layered rock, La Mola Fortress, the Lazaretto, the Illa del Rei hospital and Sant Felip castle.
MORE REALISTIC SAILING
- Sea state: calm, slight, moderate, rough or very rough. Take the waves on the bow quarter: head-on you slam, beam-on a breaking sea can knock you down, and from the quarter the boat broaches.
- Gusts and knockdowns: with too much sail up, the boat lays over. Ease the sheets to bring her up, and reef in time.
- Breaking waves, rare capsizes and dismasting: secure the rigging, watch the propeller, and call PAN-PAN or MAYDAY.
- Throttle with an S (full ahead) position and a clear "click" into neutral.
- Visible anchoring, with chain and trip buoy, and swinging when the wind shifts.
- Precise contact with quays, pontoons and moored boats: hull scrapes count.
- Tap the bollard to cast off; in Mahón the boat lies neatly alongside the pontoon.
- "Salou and its coves" starts under engine off Platja de Llevant.
Also: change language without restarting the game, a more visible mooring button and many small improvements.
