Testimonials

"VR Regatta is an exciting new development for the sport of sailing. We have utilised this technology as part of our Discover Sailing offerings at a number of events including the Australian Grand Prix, The Volvo stopover and Club opening and Discover Sailing Days. It has proven to be a successful platform to introduce new people to the sport of sailing in conjunction with real life on water experiences"

Gavin Wall, Regional Manager, Australian Sailing

“I’m so pleased that when I was asked to organise a VR stand at the London Boat Show, I stumbled across MarineVerse and their VR Regatta app. Working with the guys at MarineVerse has been a dream, they make it so easy to set up and run that the stand was a roaring success, with over 200 participants and many more showing interest on how it could be used at their training school, or club, or even as an interactive exhibit at a museum….”

Events FAQ

▶Event Basics#

▶What kind of events can MarineVerse support?

MarineVerse can be featured at boat shows, sailing club open days, school STEM events, corporate team building, Sailability programs, and any event where you want to introduce people to sailing in a fun, safe, and engaging way.

▶What equipment do I need to run VR sailing at my event?

You need a Meta Quest headset (Quest 3 or Quest 3S recommended), the MarineVerse Sailing Club app installed, a stable WiFi connection, and ideally a TV or monitor for spectator viewing via casting.

▶How many people can try VR sailing at an event?

With one headset, expect roughly 10-15 people per hour (5-6 minute sessions). For higher throughput, use multiple headsets. Many events run 2-3 headsets simultaneously with a dedicated facilitator for each.

▶Is there a commercial license required?

For occasional club events and demos, the standard app is fine. For commercial use (paid events, ongoing programs, branded experiences) with under 5 headsets, ensure each account has a Club Membership (Sailing Pass) purchased. For events with 5+ headsets, contact us at events@marineverse.com for discount and custom pricing.

▶How many headsets can sail together?

Up to 7 sailors can join the same multiplayer room/sailing session. For larger groups, you can create multiple rooms running simultaneously. This lets you support bigger events by splitting participants into groups of 7.

▶I have more than 10 headsets. Can you support that?

Yes! For large-scale deployments with 10+ headsets, contact us at events@marineverse.com for custom solutions, volume pricing, and dedicated support.

▶Setting Up#

▶How do I set up VR sailing for an event?

For self-service setup, follow our event setup guide. Key steps: download MarineVerse Sailing Club, set up a play area, configure casting to a TV, and prepare a quick intro script for participants.

▶What space do I need?

A 2m x 2m clear area per headset is ideal. Participants will be seated or standing in place, so you don't need a large room. Ensure good lighting (not too bright or dark) and minimal obstacles.

▶How do I cast to a TV for spectators?

Use Meta Quest's built-in casting to a smart TV, browser, or the Meta Mobile App. This lets spectators watch what the VR user sees, making it more engaging for everyone waiting in line.

▶What about hygiene concerns with shared headsets?

Use disposable face covers (available from Meta or third parties), clean headsets between users with alcohol wipes, and keep hand sanitiser available. Some events provide individual face masks for each participant.

▶Getting Help#

▶How do I get support for my event?

Contact us at events@marineverse.com with details about your event. We can provide guidance, promotional materials, and for larger events, discuss custom arrangements.

▶Can MarineVerse attend or help run my event?

For select events, we may be able to provide direct support. This depends on location and event size. Contact us well in advance to discuss possibilities.
