  • Dock in a crosswind: a launch lines up on an empty marina slip, seen from above.
  • Tow with the Harbor Tug: the tug steers a towed lobster boat toward the boatyard, with twin throttles and the wheel on screen.
  • Start easy in Arcade: the choice between Arcade and Realistic handling. Realistic pays 25% more.
  • Answer the rescue call: the Rescue Boat stops beside a survivor in the water.
  • Run the pilot out: the pilot boat matches speed alongside a ship, at the ladder.
  • Build your fleet: the Harbor Tug in the boat shop, with sea-trial ratings.
  • Explore a Maine harbor: the marina, the yacht club and the town from above.

Real boat handling

Wind, tide, current and swell push every boat. Momentum, windage and prop walk decide how each hull stops, turns and backs.

A harbor career

Start in a 6.6 m RIB running water taxis, then work up through exams and licenses to pilot runs, tows, rescues and a fleet of your own.
