The Binnacle AI Arcade is a collection of 32 maritime mini-games covering every major domain of professional seamanship. Whether you're studying for your USCG license, brushing up on COLREGS, or just want to experience what it's like to dock a 500-foot container ship, there's a game for you.
What you'll find
Games are organized around the core disciplines tested on USCG license exams and required for day-to-day vessel operations:
- Navigation rules — COLREGS rules of the road, VHF procedures, chart course plotting
- Cargo operations — stowage, stability, hazardous cargo
- Emergency procedures — damage control, fire suppression, EPIRB activation, abandon ship
- Bridge watchkeeping — collision avoidance, radar plotting, passage planning
- Port operations — harbor piloting, tug assist, mooring lines
Who these games are for
The arcade was built by Binnacle AI — the company that builds maritime crew compliance software for professional vessel operators. The same regulatory knowledge that powers our compliance platform is baked into every game. If you're an AB studying for your mate's license, a new mate preparing for a USCG inspection, or a mariner who wants to stay sharp, these games are calibrated to real-world standards.
All games are free, run in your browser with no installation, and work on mobile. Your progress is saved automatically with a Skipper ID, and top scores appear on global leaderboards.
