Cheap sailing holidays
Dreaming about sailing and looking for a low-budget option to get your water fixed?
Virtual reality might be a cost effective alternative for you ;-)
We offer safe yachts in always perfect condition and locations you can reach in minutes (time to download an app) rather then hours or days. And it’s much cheaper :-)
If you already have virtual reality hardware, then just go straight to our sailing apps section.

Go aboard a ship, set sails and be a captain - here are some access codes for you to use:

VR Regatta - Mainsail control
We have just shipped VR Regatta 0.2 for HTC Vive on Steam.
The most important feature: You can control sails by grabbing mainsheet
With this new feature, your both hands can be busy holding the tiller and mainsail sheet. Your Vive sailing is now even more immersive :-)
