A large variety of vessel types and scenery have been created by users and are available on fan sites and forums. Vessels may be controlled by keyboard, mouse or customisable game controllers. Weather and sea conditions are adjustable, enabling different levels of play. Unusual for a vehicle simulator, users of Virtual Sailor can roam the interiors of their ships.

Control panels feature compass bearing, wind speed and direction, speed, rpm, fuel level, winch settings, sail settings, dependant on the vessel type.

It is possible to create and edit vessel types and marine scenery. Racing against either AI or online competitors is possible, as is exploring, recreating voyages or naval combat. Players may control a variety of sail and motor powered vessels above and below the sea, interacting with other vessels, changing weather conditions, marine life and dynamic wave movements.
