Virtual Regatta is an online web browser sailing race simulator, though the development of a mobile app version of the game has seen a significant number of users shift to this platform in recent years.
The company was created in France by Philippe Guigné, CEO of ManyPlayers, for the 2006 edition of the Route du Rhum, with Virtual Regatta Offshore established as a real-time yacht routing game. Since then, the company has been working with the media departments of major oceanic races and their sponsors.
In 2015, the company developed Virtual Regatta Inshore, a fleet racing game (similar to that of car racing games), in partnership with World Sailing. This led to the first eSailing World Championship in 2018.
