It means taking charge of your very own crab boat, choosing your own crew members, managing them, deciding where to fish for crab. In-between, you will have your hands full with side missions pursuing whale poachers, fixing hydraulic hoses, upgrading your ship, etc.

As the captain, you are stuck with having to play mother hen to your crew, helping them get out of trouble with their girlfriends, catering to their superstitions, dealing with injuries or simply just making sure that there's enough food on the table. After all, a happy crew is often the prelude to a successful operation.

Sounds like a tough job? Well, it is! However, players have the advantage of getting helpful input from Sig Hansen about running a successful crabbing operation. Players can either select a career mode or arcade-style games. Competing with other crabbing ships, players battle to be the first to locate the crabs and to get to the scene before anyone else.

The content in the game is based very closely on reality, right down to the characters, ships, harbour specs, weather, geological conditions, and of course, the crabs themselves, which means it's as close to the real thing as you can get without getting your feet wet - or putting your life in danger.
