Does this game offer an open world map ?

Meaning: Can I sail wherever I want to? I.e start in the U.K and end up in California or China? Or does the map just stops you at some point.

Yes, the entire globe is there. some lakes and canals might still be too undeep to sail on but the devs are working on that.

Okay.

I was wondering if there is also something like pirates, and ports you can stop and also some type of goals you can have. Like deliver package A from Africa to Europe in time. I.e

Never played a ship or sailing simulator in my entire life. So I have no idea how I can imagine this game works.

I have only seen the videos about it, and graphics look amazing, sea looks very realistic.

All oceans and seas are open.

Except :
- I think you can't acces south and north pole (can someone confirm?).
- Maybe not the dead sea, didn't check :)

Ho ... and near realtime weather, wave, currents. so you can use stuff like windy.com for wind prediction.

It's in the wishlist, doesn't mean it will be done but i hear it's considered.
For now, it's early acces so you can free roam, join race event, multicrew.

Also, if you configure stuff correctly the boat will keep sailing when you're offline. That's how we can do long race that take days to finish.

Does anybody ever read the info on the store page of a game anymore?

Hi.

It says:

Sailaway brings all the world's oceans to the comfort of your PC or Mac for you to experience the most accurate simulation of sailing you can find anywhere!

I get that, but it wasn't clear if you are able to sail from one ocean to an other one, or if you are restricted to let's say the North Sea or Persian Gulf. Hence my question.

Cheers, and thank you for your extraordinarily helpful reply.

weird, i always found a helpful community in sailaway, perhaps i got lucky.
But i own the game since 3 days only (and already have 30 hours of online play :D ), wait and see :)

I am not sure what your reply is referring to. But thank you for your reply.

You can sail in the Arctic Circle. I teleported up there.

[Limmin]

I doubt you can sail at the south pole.
