Über das Spiel

Hast du je davon geträumt, deine Lieblingsküste entlangzusegeln oder zwischen den tropischen Inseln im Südpazifik zu navigieren?

Vielleicht möchtest du dich ja der Herausforderung stellen, die Südlichen Ozeane während der schlimmsten Stürme, die sie zu bieten haben, zu überqueren?

Oder willst du einfach segeln lernen, hast aber keinen Zugang zu einem Boot?

Mit „Sailaway“ kannst du all das tun. Der Segelsimulater Sailaway bringt dir sämtliche Ozeane der Welt auf deinen PC oder Mac, damit du die ultimative virtuelle Segelerfahrung machen kannst!

In „Sailaway“ wurden die Ozeane des Planeten mit unvergleichlicher Genauigkeit nachgebildet. Willst du über den Pazifik reisen, dauert das Monate, wie es auch auf einem echten Boot wäre. Da es sich um eine beständige Onlinewelt handelt, kannst du deine Einstellungen anpassen, und dein Boot segelt auch dann weiter, wenn du nicht online bist.
Du erhältst Updates per E-Mail, während dein Boot weiterfährt, aber vergiss nicht, oft nachzuschauen – bei den Echtzeit-Wetterdaten, die von der National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) übernommen werden, können sich die Bedingungen schnell ändern.

„Sailaway“ ermöglicht Spielern ein überaus realistisches digitales Segelgefühl, mit genauesten Simulationen, was Wetter, Wind und Strömungen angeht, während dein Boot und sein Segel so gemacht sind, dass selbst der erfahrenste Segler ein Training bekommt. In den anfänglichen Schwierigkeitsmodi kannst du einfach segeln, während du das Spiel lernst. Wirklich zum Leben erwacht das Spiel, wenn die virtuelle Hilfe entfernt wird und es dann heißt, du gegen die Kräfte der Natur. Wenn du deine Freunde schlagen möchtest, musst du deinen Kurs planen, ständig die Form deines Segels prüfen und jeden kleinen Vorteil nutzen, um als Erster anzukommen!

Sailaway beinhaltet eine Vielfalt liebevoll erstellter Boote, mit denen du durch die Welt segeln kannst. Alle können in Hunderten von Kombinationen mithilfe der vorgegebenen Optionen zusammengestellt werden, du kannst aber auch deine eigenen Texturen hochladen, um dem ganzen einen besonderen Touch zu geben! Mithilfe der Steam Workshop-Integration kannst du diese Designs dann mit anderen Seglern teilen.

Schon dreist: erst kauft man dieses Spiel als vollständige (einzige) Version, danach werden wesentliche features (z.B. mehrere Boote) entfernt und nur für ein Lösegeld (sprich Kaufen der neuen Pro-Version) wieder freigegeben. Moderne Wegelagerei! Deshalb nicht zu empfehlen!

Inhalte entfernen im Zuge eines Updates und erneut dafür Geld verlangen, um den Inhalt der bereits Teil der Simulation war wieder zu bekommen. Ausgezeichnete Arbeit, wenn das Ziel der Entwickler ist, möglichst viele negative Rezensionen zu bekommen und zahlende Kunden zu verärgern. Ich freue mich auf das Update 3.0. Vielleicht muss man dann auch noch einzelne Segelreviere kaufen und jedes Boot einzeln als DLC?!

Das Spiel ist ganz Ok, noch nicht ganz ausgereift, aber man kann schon etwas Spaß haben wenn man gerne segelt.
ABER: Was gar nicht geht ist die Dreistheit der Entwickler!! Da kauft man schon das Spiel im Early Access um die Entwickler zu unterstützen und dann wird man im letzten Update tatsächlich nochmal zur Kasse gebeten.
Für mich war es das mit diesem Spiel und vor allem Mit Early Access.
Da fällt einem nichts mehr ein...
Sind das ehemalige Entwickler von EA???

Sailaway ist im Grunde ein ganz nettes Spiel.
Jedoch fehlt mir z.B. die Option das man das Wetter sowie die Uhrzeit selbst einstellen kann, dann wäre es schön wenn noch AI Verkehr hinzukommen würde. Auch das Ufergebiet und die Häfen könnten etwas schöner sein.

Der grobe Ansatz bei dem Spiel oder der Simulation stimmt. Jedoch ist noch einiges zu tun um daraus was richtig gutes zu machen. Aber wie gesagt der Ansatz ist schonmal ganz gut.

This is such an austerely beautiful simulation. I'm currently crossing the Atlantic in winter. Throughout the day I will log in a few times, see how the voyage is going, sail for a bit, take in the scenery... Before bed, I'll log in, drop the sails, and enjoy the movement of the ocean for awhile. In the morning, I will log in with a cup of coffee and wake up the boat to continue its journey.

The 1:1 passage of time (crossing an ocean takes weeks) and true-life weather conditions (from actual weather reports at the boat's location) pairs this simulation with reality in a way I haven't experienced before.

Also, I'm very glad it runs on Linux using Steam Proton. I'm looking forward to the next iteration, SailAway III - the developer's progress videos look great!

I was looking for a game that could teach me a bit about sailing to prepare my self for the real thing in the future. I purchase this game and immediately was captivated by the realism of the world around me. The devs did a fantastic job of captivating everything with sailing mechanics and the open ocean environment mechanics. However I wish there was more to do on the ship while sailing. It would be nice if you could access the cabin on the lower portion of the ship. Rooms, engine rooms and galley and other places on the ship and do things in there like fix things, cook or prepare for your voyage as an option for more immersion while the ship is sailing to its plotted destination. It would also be cool to be able to view the environment from inside the cabin as well and listen to the weather outside and the songs of whales and creatures. Fishing would be nice! while sailing to pass the time as well. I absolutely love this game and it has given great insight on how sailing is and would strongly recommend this game. Outstanding job!!!!

There are two things I really like about Sailaway. The first is that Sailaway transmits an NMEA stream, which can be used in a chart plotter like OpenCPN. The second is that it uses real-world, real-time weather and tides.
This allows me to practice a lot of the factors that go in to planning passages, such as reading weather conditions and charting courses accordingly.
I have even taken to re-enacting a few passages I have made on actual sailboats, which is neat. This time with the luxury of setting autopilot and going to sleep for a full night's rest, without any fear of sinking.

There are a lot of things that need improvement. I won't go in to them, as plenty of other reviewers have. I just wanted to highlight that there are ways to use this simulator for some training purposes, which is invaluable for someone like me, who wants to keep up sailing and navigation skills, but find myself without the geographical ability to pursue ocean sailing at present.

The most realistic sailing simulation along with eSail.

As a sailor myself, both Sailaway and eSail are essentials; they complete each other very well... where eSail ends, Sailaway takes on!

Sailaway uses simpler mechanics but offers the entire world to navigate; time of day, cloud coverage, wind speed, current and swell are accurate to the location you are sailing (I use Windy.com for weather details and forecasts as I do in real life). The coastlines and depth soundings approximately correspond to their real world counter-part except when close to shore; land masses typically rise from the seabed like a wall (tides are not implemented yet).

Because we sail in real-time, once the heading and sails are adjusted, not many actions are required for long periods of time and I often run the game while doing something else; I set a nice view point and let the sounds of the sea create an immersive ambience...

Overall, Sailaway is one of my preferred simulator and I strongly recommend it.

See you there mate!

Sailaway is the best sialing experience out there. It does however have some major flaws. Sailaway markets itself as a sailing simulator, however with the poor physics and current controls, that title is not fit. But with a few small improvements, Sailaway could become a masterpiece. This curerently seems unlikely, as the team see it as perfect and disrespect us Steam 'gamers' and ignore our feedback.

Pros:
Fair selection of boats
Real time weather and waves
Most lines modelled
Beautiful sunsets
Whole ocean implemented
Variety of races and challenges
Multicrew
Graphics are adequate
Option for boat to continue sailing when offline- useful for long voyages
Tutorials are reasonably good and varying levels of help for beginners

Cons:
Devs do not listen to feedback
Clunky controls
If you had original Sailaway, you are stripped of some of your privileges and they are now locked behind a £20 'pro' license
No physical or mechanical damage to boat
General physics are lacklustre
Poor autosail modes

Conclusion:
Sailaway has a lot of potential, although its devs are ignoring any constructive criticism currently and have not updated anything for nearly a year now.

It could be fun if there were things to do, but as it stands currently it's just incredibly boring. Hopefully they will add more content than just pulling ropes and losing races. This game is WAY too expensive for the lack of content.

A reasonable facsimile of sailing a boat. Some frustrating glitches when you run aground and try to recover but I guess the lesson is don't run aground. I haven't tried the racing yet, just cruising and enjoyable.

I've been sailing for 4 years, 470 when I started and for the last 2 years on a Hunter 40. I though Sailaway could be my simulator to test different conditions at sea that might not be very comfortable in real life. Reality is I had to refund it cos the controls are terrible and it is definitely not a simulator but an arcade game with lack of content. Graphics are ok but they don't feel very realistic for some reason, controls are terrible, camera angles are annoying, lack of mechanics and animations. For a Simulator 3/10 for an arcade game for those that just want to sail around with automatic sail trim 5/10.

If you are trying to decide between eSail and Sailaway.
eSail gives you a single dinghy in a fictional world with a single island you can sail around in an hour. The controls are more detailed, but that just makes them annoying.
Sailaway gives you the world with real coastlines, fairly accurate depths, real marker bouys and to sail around the whole map will take you 10 years. You get about 8 boats ranging from historical single sail Nordic boats to 60' Round the World carbon fibre racing yauhts.

Horrible UI and controls. Absolutely rubbish I would say.
Camera makes me sea sick. A lot of bugs here and there.

Physics are patetic. You cannot break a boat or collide. No docks or ports.

Basically its an arcade 'pull a line to sails' simulator

I simply cannot handle the clunky navigation controls and the default settings for game play are total rubbish. After spending an hour trying to tweak the game to an acceptable level, the camera is still unbelievably frustrating to control and the way the designer’s setup moving around the boat and accessing the rigging is absolutely ridiculous. Also, the middle mouse wheel has no functionality to speed up or slow down and its default is soooooooooo slow. Lastly, I love the realism of it, but it should have an area where you can setup different sailing conditions for practice. Seriously disappointed. I'm getting a refund.

If you enjoy sailing, then this might be the game for you. It is a sailing simulator, and it works well. It seems to be in constant development with new features added and bugs fixed often. At least that's my impression. I had the game sinse early version 1, but sadly haven't played it that much in a long time, before I picked it up again Christmas 2020.
As far as sailing simulators or sailing games in general goes, I think this is one of the better ones.

Game was awesome and loved it, competing in several very long distance races. Then came version II which added all the cool stuff but locked you out of it without paying extra money! Also nothing that was bugged got fixed so they just tried to scam you into paying more for the same game with 2 extra boats and no extra features.

Listen guys, I love your game but you killed it. No doubt about it. Makes me really sad.

The Steam games is Sailaway 1.0 or Sailaway basic. For the pro version or Sailaway 2.0 you have to pay more money. What they are saying in Forums is BS. Unfortunately you have to buy this game to get the truth. just go online an buy the full pro version. They are just using steam as a way to make twice the money and for advertisement of full product. If they weren't why wouldn't they just make pro version available to steam?

I actually paid a lot of money for what was an early access game based on the promises and assurances of the developers. Turns out it was a complete scam. To have to pay out even more to continue playing this game was a kick in the teeth to everyone who had invested so much money, time and assistance in fulfilling the game's potential. And the bugs I reported weren't even fixed. And the dev is always trying to establish new narratives which in itself is very dodgy.
It's developers like these that give early access a bad name. Avoid.

This is a pretty cool simulation. At first I was really impressed with the range of craft and the physics of the program. Then I discovered that it is impossible to sail into ports, even ones with large tidal ranges, at actual high water times, as the vessel ran aground in water depths which did not change with the state of the tide! This struck me as a major negative and I was ready to walk away right then.
However, this simulation is excellent in so many other areas, that I continued and now 78 hours in, after buying it 78.1 hours ago, I think speaks for itself! I would dearly love to sail into ports after an Atlantic crossing and berth alongside for a few well earned beers! The devs have constructed a pretty good sim here. Berthing would make it complete. I don't care too much for the crappy buildings! It's a sailing sim FFS!

Very good simulation. The new fans-made addon CVE had a great dimension. Strongly recommended for people who want to learn about sailing or just enjoy sailing.

I strongly recommend to play with the keyboard the get the sheets and trim. It is really not practical with the mouse and stopped me to play at the beginning. Game is much better with the keyboard control.

Assuming you enjoy sailing for just the sailing, the question isn't whether to buy this. It's whether to buy this or eSail. Personally, this works better for me because you can choose different boats to sail, customise what your boat looks like, and undertake real voyages with real wind speeds and travel times. It even continues sailing your boat along your planned course when you're offline. However, eSail has a better tutorial, both for the simulator itself and for sailing in general, and it's better for racing. It takes place in a fictional ocean which is much, much smaller (but also faster to get anywhere) than Sailaway.
eSail is better for beginners, because with a small yacht being the only sailable boat, it has fewer things to worry about when trimming the sails, and you can rely on the engine a lot more to get you out of a tough spot. Sailaway is better for people who want a realistic sailing experience, possibly to practice for a real voyage. There are still activities to do otherwise, but the part that really makes Sailaway shine is the plain sailing and realistic voyages.
I would also say that Sailaway has far better production value than eSail. The textures and models look better and more realistic, and if there's ever a questionable code interaction, it's usually as a result of two realistic events colliding in an unexpected way, rather than just being a strange quirk of programming as they tend to be in eSail.

I got this game to learn how to sail. I invested a lot of time on tutorials and videos as I have never sailed before (which I recommend to non sailors) and then started to use Sailaway. I am just loving this game! Once you have an idea of what the basics are it really comes to life. I feel after playing this game I would like to start sailing for real. It has been a really enjoyable experience for me. The only thing that bugged me about the game is the camera in free mode, it is a bit all over the place and hard to handle. The ship handling and the yacht models are great, I would certainly love to buy more add-on ships in any DLC's come out later.

+ Worldwide map
+ Water looks different in different parts of the world
+ Real weather updated in near-real time

- Clumsy controls
- Boring perfect steering without realistic drift
- Infinite strength boat parts let you do stupidly unrealistic things without consequences
- Many boat systems are not modeled
- No time acceleration

The result is overall boring gameplay. You just set course, find the sail setup that works and go AFK for fifteen minutes, after which you just check every fifteen minutes and mostly nothing changes. The only time you have to pay attention is if you are navigating narrow internal waters, and even that is slow and kind of boring.

This isn't because sailing is boring by nature. For example, on a real boat, you have to constantly manage the rudder or she will go off course. It takes an autopilot to keep straight course like in the game. Autopilot can break, it consumes power, which is in limited supply, same goes for many other systems. If you change tack without pulling in the mainsheet, the resulting rapid slamming of the boom as it swings to the other side can break parts of your rig or injure you. Exposing too much sail in high winds can lead to disaster too. Motor power is strategically used, for example to cross the Doldrums. Managing very limited resources and dealing with periodic emergencies is part of the challenge of cruising. Many of these things could have been included fairly easily to make an exciting gaming experience, but it wasn't done. The game is literally just made up of a simple sloop rig simulation, some neat water graphics, real time weather updates, and a world map.

It could be forgiven when the game was in EA, but the dev decided to arbitrarily call it released, rebrand it as Sailing Simulator II, and demand more money from existing players for an update. The game does not stand well on its merit, the dev's business practices are deplorable, and past history makes me skeptical there will ever be enough features added to make the gameplay enjoyable.

You buy a license and then the developer decides to streamline the next version into the same AppID so whatever purchased now will be obsolete. No DLC, no separate AppID, it just renders your copy retro. None of this is explained or accounted for on this store page.

Beware.

It's a great game for sailing enthusiasts, in that its a meticulously modeled simulator of the way sailboats interact with the wind and the waves. In that respect, I would recommend that you give it a try if you enjoy very realistic simulators.

My criticism of the game, however, is that it lacks depth. Beyond racing, there isn't much to do. If you, like me, are more the voyager type and enjoy being on the water and feeling the salt and spray in your face, the game will be good, but lack the depth to really immerse you. Many famous coastal locations look rather generic, the famous Calanques of the Cote d'Azur or the white cliffs of Etretat in Normandy are not modeled at all. Similarly, coastal cities like Hong Kong are also not modeled beyond having some generic buildings put there (though I think some like NYC and Sydney are well modelled, I've just not sailed there). I can't help compare with Flight Simulator, where you can fly over high fidelity replicas of real cities. I get this is not the same thing, but still.

By no means am I saying this is a bad game. I know modelling every single coastline in the world is an impossible task, and I would never expect that from an indie game. However, I would just inform buyers that while Sailaway will scratch that itch you have to get on the water, it will not scratch that explorer itch that some of us covet.

If its impossible to import things like real life coastlines from google maps or whatever, perhaps it could be cool to include things like the occasional dolphin when you near a tropical coast, or a rare whalespout in areas where whales are known to be. Some modelling of turbidity in water could be good, since I recall the beauty of the crystal clear water of the Mediterranean French coasts really was one of the things that made boating there incredible.

I would still nevertheless recommend people who want a high fidelity sailing simulator, as the boats are beautifully crafted and when you adjust the sails just right and the craft sails beautifully along, it feels pretty good. The game also has a fantastic, friendly, helpful community of both sailing noobs and real life sailors.

It is the best sailing simulator without a doubt. The sailboats, the sea and the map are very well created. The simulation is very successful, it gives you the impression of sailing.
But it still lacks a lot, in my opinion it falls short in some aspects such as the collection of sailboats to choose from, including some of the old ones, schooners, naos ... The visible coast area is very basic from a graphic point of view, There should not be so much difference between how well the sea is and how poorly the coast is.

On the other hand, I have also observed small errors, texts that do not fit within its own window, incomplete Spanish translations, sudden movements of the boat (when selecting a line with the mouse it always happens, it seems that the boat jumps), lines that do not have key assigned to select them, impossible transparencies of some sail ... these are almost insignificant errors but if they are fixed together with other improvements, the game would really start to deserve its price. I recommend it because it is still a young simulator and it promises a lot, but we must let its creators know that we do not want a half-finished game.

I don't particularly like racing, I prefer to go it alone, adventure and exploration, and since I will be many ... I think it would not hurt to give us the option to cancel the GPS, and thus stop seeing our sailboat on the map . To find out our position we could use other instruments such as the sextant, the stopwatch, the compass ... and be able to make notes on the map. And all this explained in a tutorial. It would be quite a hoot for the game.


Español (Spanish):

Es el mejor simulador de vela sin duda alguna. Los veleros, el mar y el mapa están muy bien creados. La simulación esta muy conseguida, te llega a dar la impresión de estar navegando.
Pero aún le falta mucho, en mi opinión se queda corto en algunos aspectos tales como la colección de veleros a elegir, incluyendo alguno de los antiguos, goletas, naos.. La zona de costa visible es muy básica desde el punto de vista gráfico, no debería haber tanta diferencia entre lo bien hecho que esta el mar y lo mal hecha que esta la costa.

Por otro lado también he observado pequeños errores, textos que no caben dentro de su propia ventana, traducciones al español incompletas, movimientos bruscos del barco (al seleccionar algún cabo con el ratón pasa siempre, parece que el barco salta), cabos que no tienen tecla asignada para seleccionarlos, transparencias imposibles de alguna vela.. son errores casi sin importancia pero que si se van arreglando junto con otras mejoras, el juego empezaría a merecer de verdad su precio. Lo recomiendo porque es un simulador aún joven y promete mucho, pero hay que hacer saber a sus creadores que no queremos un juego a medio acabar.

No me gustan las carreras especialmente, prefiero ir por libre, en plan aventura y exploración, y como yo habrá muchos.. creo que no estaría de más darnos la opción de poder anular el GPS, y así dejar de ver nuestro velero en el mapa. Para averiguar nuestra posición podríamos usar otros instrumentos como el sextante, el cronómetro, la brújula.. y poder hacer anotaciones en el mapa. Y todo ello explicado en un tutorial. Sería todo un puntazo para el juego.

You are better off waiting a couple of years for the fully released game to be finished, they keep dropping the price of the game, and also adding new features that if your an existing player means you have to pay double that of a new player just so you can upgrade to what they are getting.

Superb simulator. If you've wanted to learn sailing this is better than the real thing (and I learned on the real thing).

I remember paying around $40 for this and then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it after a few month and now it is saying that I am on the basic version and wants me to pay $40 more? How does that even make sense?

What I bought a couple years ago for the full price is now the 'basic' and I have to fork out an extra 25€ for the races I want to partake in and have access to all boats. Leaving some negligible inaccuracies regarding boat physics aside, I suggest you don't buy this game solely because they decided to take this shady route.

Land graphics are poor, game play is one limited and few boats as part of game.

I am going to recommend this simulator/game but with a warning, it's not for everyone.

Pro:
This is the sailing simulator I have always wanted; one with a full globe, real world weather and real time, even when not playing. Awesome!
Also a good variety of boats and customisation.
Visuals of the boats and of the water (what you look at 90% of the time) is great.

Con:
This is inevitable with a full globe simulator, but scenery is too basic at the moment. you can find some good spots though like New York Harbour.
Sailing is a bit clunky. it's hard to assess the sail trim by looking at the sail, finding the correct ropes and adjust, I find myself always looking at the sailtrim 2d page and finding ropes with the Q and E keys. it takes away a bit of the immersion. the Dev's could learn a thing or two from Stentec Sailsimulator 5 on this matter.

My wishlist for the future:
improved user interface for managing the boat.
better auto-generated scenery.
If I may be so bold, a square rigger. Perhaps a Brig or a topsail schooner? :)

I recommend this game, but not on steam. Don't buy on steam. Steam offers the basic version for $45, while the Sailaway website offers the pro version for less than $45. Buying on steam you then have the option to upgrade the basic version to pro through the Sailaway website for about $25-30, which is a total rip off. Not sure if this was an intentional or accidental oversight on either steam or Orbcreation.

Yet another game I had high hopes for and was extremely disappointed. Returning to the game I find not only the graphics still remain very bad quality but now a game I paid full price for is subject to further charges, to have the 'pro' version which allows me unlimited boats, races and customisation which I used to have with my original game. Outrageous. If I had known this was going to happen I would never had bought it and it is a shame I cannot get a refund because I would.
The UI is clunky especially the camera and moving views around the ship. There are other sailing games with better graphics, better explanation of the techniques of sailing and not with horrible business practices.

I used to really like this sim, having bought it during early release, but recently the whole thing, including the developer's attitude has gone down the gurgler. I'm having all sorts of problems controlling cameras and lines, plus this whole change to basic/pro versions makes me feel like I'm asked to buy the game again. Well, no, thanks!

You absolute wankpuffins, I supported this at early access with your exorbitant price then, now that you finally uploaded an interesting boat thats not a god damn bermudan sloop you want to charge 25£ extra to sail it.
This game has potential and would have great potential if community was allowed to play a role in the boats and rigs, sadly it seems devs are getting greedy.

2 out of 5
This simulator is awkward, in trying to get the best view to try to figure out the best way to adjust your sails correctly. I am disappointed in the way they implemented this game. They took away items from the original design and then make you pay for the new update, to get what you originally paid for in the beginning. So they are also very shady whit no ethics. I personally will not purchase anything from this company again.

Th simulator is realistic, but very awkward to operate and having limited boats to chose from, it's not a purchase that i can recommend at this time. unless you can get it on sale for under $15.00 they offer the extra boats for free and continue to add new boats.

WOW Talk about being ripped off, One second I have paid for the game the next Im told that I need to purchase the content I had earlier again. Might be breaking a few Australian consumer laws here (will check). Do not buy this game from this untrustworthy dodgy Dev/Publisher

Uninstalling this garbage

I paid a lot of money for this game and now my version is downgraded to less boats etc due to a pro version released that you have to pay extra. So much for loyalty. I really would avoid at all costs if this is how the developers behave!!!
Not happy at all
