The graphics are amazing and the game does an absolutely phenomenal job of simulating (and teaching) the art of sailing.

It may be a little lacking in depth for the real skippers, but for everyone else into sailing, there's some fun to be had. Probably.

Virtual Skipper 3 truly is the Holy Grail of sailing sims, satisfying both hardcore and casual virtual helmsman. [Oct 2004, p.84]

This game has some problems but is somewhat soothing. An accessible interface, the challenge of grabbing wind with the right sails, and dazzling sea effects make for a solid experience.

A formidable simulation, but landlubbers are likely to run aground on its steep learning curve. [Oct 2004, p.90]
