Melbourne, Australia, February 24th 2022 – Experience the thrill of sailing no matter where you are with the definitive VR sailing experience, MarineVerse Cup, out now on Meta Quest 2. Whether you are a complete beginner eager to learn how to take control of a boat or a veteran sailor looking for an authentic virtual experience, MarineVerse Cup has something to offer. This definitive VR sailing experience is available now for $19.99 / €19.99.

From competitive play, to pressure-free leisurely trips surrounded by sea, sunshine and the sound of the waves lapping the boat, MarineVerse Cup features a host of different modes catering to all kinds of sailors and experiences. The game offers solo, co-op or multiplayer sailing, including the option to compete against friends and other players. There are also leaderboards, mini-games, daily practice races, leagues and seven spectacular locations from across the globe.

Created by a team of sailors and engineers, MarineVerse Cup is designed to bring the world of sailing to anyone who may not have the time, physical stamina or access to a boat to enjoy the sport - or you can brush up on and practice your sailing skills in the middle of winter! With differing weather conditions to contend with, such as varying winds with gusts and lulls, the many courses available will challenge you differently each time for hours of replayability and offer a real test of your sailing prowess.

To support you in your foray into the world of virtual sailing, Marineverse has put together a handy collection of tutorial videos that will help you get the most of MarineVerse Cup, covering everything from the 101’s of sailboat racing, to the technicalities of sailing upwind.
