Enjoy a fun and informative ninety minutes inside the ‘Full Mission Bridge Simulator’—the South Coast’s largest ship simulator, used to train real Navy personnel and ship captains.

Used for seafarer training since 2009, the Fareham-based simulator is now open to the public. It features several high-definition 4K screens providing stunning wraparound visuals.

That’s right, every skipper needs their crew, so why not make it a family day out?

My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Ship Simulator Experience which I had purchased for his 60th Birthday. The staff were excellent - very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. My husband successfully manoevered a tanker through 'Hong Kong harbour' and directed a Commodore Clipper from Cowes to Southampton! We even had time for a tour of New York harbour! My daughter and I also appreciated the opportunity to watch the amazing graphics and have a go at the helm. Great fun!
