If you got the demo, thats what you get.
If you use the small boats I guess you can cruise the coastlines and check out the veiw. The game has a number of different coastlines you can download. Their are a number of different vessels you can download of varying quality. The only one I liked was a Volvo racing sail boat. The cockpits/bridges are mostly of low quality graphics that look like the graphics from the early to mid-nineties. No textures. The ships I tried, it was difficult to look out the windows and vision was limited.
There is no feel of forward movement like other simulators.

If you use a mouse, movement is backwards which I can't get used too.
I think the best thing you could do is try the demo and decide for yourself.
If you are interested in sailing, Virtual Skipper is a much better program but it also cost more.
Some people might like it for designing their own scenery or making their own ships/boats.

Virtual Sailor cost $25.50 which while it didn't break, me it was a real disappointment.
