Navigate and Dominate
About Us
Established in June 2005, SeaRates emerged as a pioneering IT startup with a primary focus on the shipping industry. Over time, this humble beginning blossomed into a sprawling global IT platform that streamlined online container shipping booking. Since 2018, the "Captain Phillip" game began to be used as a corporate gift for their clients. After the company was acquired by the largest port operator DP World, the idea of producing the game was put aside for some time. In 2023, a new development team was created in Dubai, whose goal was to organize and establish the "Captain Phillip" game production for consumers and enthusiasts around the globe.
About S. Dzhashytov
About the Creator – Sergio Orlini (a.k.a. Sergei, but that’s another voyage) Before he nearly became a captain — and we do mean nearly — Sergio Orlini had already done just about every job on a ship that didn’t involve being in charge. He was an oiler, a deckhand, a first mate, and came this close to the captain’s chair (a scheduling mishap and a suspiciously timed vacation may have played a role). Born Sergei, but proudly adopting his Italian roots (and a taste for strong espresso), Sergio spent years at sea plotting something far more ambitious than a mutiny — a board game. While others passed time with cards or questionable karaoke, he sketched out the early mechanics of what would become Captain Philip. Now based in Dubai with his company Qubictron, Sergio and his team bring this fast-paced, strategy-meets-Blackjack game to life — customized even for corporate pirates… ahem, clients. If you like your games clever, quick, and just competitive enough to lose friends politely, Captain Philip is ready to set sail. Welcome aboard. Just try not to mutiny before the first round.
