Not a Child’s Toy best in my review

This is a fragile plastic model. It solely relies on an understanding of how to sail. If you do not understand how to "come about” the boat could sail away and never come back. Can only be used in light winds and relatively calm waters. I think it’s a bit over priced but have enjoyed the challenge of playing with it. Not recommended for salt water.

Pros
  • Remote & App Controlled Vehicles
Cons
  • The product may be difficult to repair or replace if it experiences damage, as replacement parts or support may be hard to find

Fun little boat best in my review

Fun in the pond but does not handle winds above 10mph. More of a toy than a hobby grade model but it is fun. That's my feedback!

Pros
  • The grand where so excited to receive the sail boats
Cons
  • The wind-powered nature of the vessel means that it is highly dependent on environmental conditions, making it difficult to use on calm or inconsistent wind days

Really easy to get sailing with a short learning curve.

It was difficult to keep the tiny hooks on the boom and sails clipped in high winds, but if you have tweezers at the beach you're good

Pros
  • Requires: 4 AA batteries and wind. 17.5" tall (14" above the waterline) and 11" long.
Cons
  • The boat's small size and relative fragility can make it vulnerable to damage if not carefully handled or transported

Outstanding product with great educational value

I ordered two boats - red and blue - and I am absolutely delighted. Boats charge quickly and controls are simple and straightforward.These are excellent tools to teach basics of sailing for adults and kids alike!Thank you!

Pros
  • Great for the pool. FYI size listed is mast height not hull length. Works great.
Cons
  • The sailboat is relatively small, making it difficult to play with in large bodies of water

Fun little sailboat

I throw this in my pool on windy days and it’s a blast to sail and fun to take the turn under the handrail by the steps. The product's niche appeal may make it less attractive to those not specifically interested in RC sailboats or wind-powered devices.

Pros
  • The Red PLAYSTEAM Voyager 280 RC Sailboat is a great product for those who are passionate about remote control toys, thanks to its reliable and precise wind-powered design
Cons
  • The product's niche appeal may make it less attractive to those not specifically interested in RC sailboats or wind-powered devices
