The gameplay of this yacht mechanic simulator has been widely criticized for its numerous bugs, unintuitive controls, and lack of depth compared to established titles like Car Mechanic Simulator. Players express disappointment with the simplistic mechanics, awkward movement, and a disembodied spirit perspective that detracts from the experience, leading many to feel that it fails to deliver on its promise as a mechanic simulator. Overall, the game is seen as frustrating and lacking in engaging gameplay elements, making it difficult for players to find enjoyment or a sense of accomplishment.
- “This is the only yacht mechanic game on the market, so I really appreciate it.”
- “Gameplay is confusing and completely overcomplicated.”
- “There are many problems with the performance of this game, mostly due to glitches in the game mechanics.”
- “The main issues I experienced had to do with the game's mechanics not being very intuitive, and a severe lack of user-friendliness.”
- “The mechanic part is very unappealing - tool selection is clunky, you float around anywhere to work on your boat (you can't actually walk on it), it's buggy - wooden floors turn pink out of nowhere, and there's no sense of shopping for parts before working on the boat.”

Many feel it was released in an unfinished state, lacking essential polish and optimization, leading to a frustrating experience that detracts from its potential enjoyment. Overall, the game's mechanics and interface are described as clunky and poorly designed, contributing to a sense of abandonment by the developers.
- “It is not finished, buggy, and completely abandoned by the developers for over 2 years now.”

The game's optimization is severely lacking, with players reporting significant performance issues, including extremely low frame rates even on high-end hardware. Glitches in game mechanics and a buggy interface further contribute to a frustrating experience, leading many to advise against purchasing the game.
- “There are many problems with the performance of this game, mostly due to glitches in the game mechanics.”
- “This game isn't even optimized for any kind of play; FPS on a 2080 RTX drops to 10-15 FPS. Even on a 3090 Ti, the FPS is terrible, around 20-25 FPS when testing the boat on those poor water details. I do not recommend this game to anyone.”
- “Yes, the interface requires some work; it's a bit buggy, not optimized, and the mechanics are a bit odd (for now).”
story

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players noting a minimal backstory and repetitive missions that fail to evolve after completion. Once the campaign is finished, players are left with monotonous grinding and limited mechanics, leading to a sense of stagnation and frustration. Overall, the narrative experience is seen as underwhelming and lacking in variety.
- “You don't need to restart the whole mission.”
- “1) You start with very minor backstory - okay whatever.”
- “Reached the top level, congrats you completed the story campaign, pat on the back...now you can just grind on forever doing the same 2 or 3 dozen jobs from the same people on the same boats with the same problems earning $$ with nothing to spend it on.”
- “The engines come out of the ship in one lump, so not much in the way of mechanics. There aren’t many ships, controls are not intuitive, and you don’t seem to be able to own your own vessels. Story missions keep coming back as if you never did them.”
- “You start with very minor backstory - okay, whatever.”

The graphics received mixed feedback, with some users noting a few graphical bugs and a lack of realism in certain elements, such as boats and camera movement. Overall, the visuals were described as "okay," but many felt that the design and execution fell short, leading to a disappointing experience.
- “A couple of graphical bugs, and even the somewhat quirky controls didn't bother me.”
- “I was very excited for this game's release, and after 45 minutes, it seems like it was made in 10 days and not 2 years. The camera was really buggy, menus were clunky, the boats in the water did not feel at all realistic, and everyone felt the same. The graphics were okay, and the design around working on the engine was plain bad. Seriously, who calls an outdrive the propeller mount, or removes an engine oil cap to take an engine out?”
- “The graphics, gameplay, movement, controls - it all just sucks.”
