The design provides both efficient storage and improved game play. Many of the trays can be utilized during the game, and they greatly aid set-up and clear-away times. The rules and boards act as a lid on top of the trays.

The full colour print really brings the trays to life, tying them in with the theme of the game and making it easier to see which components go where.

The insert is arranged in up to two layers, with the long thin tray placed at one end of the box. The insert provides for two separate resource trays which can be placed at either end of the table. The two large blue card trays are sized for sleeved cards and have sufficient space for more than double the base game number of cards. The additional capacity is for future expansion fish cards providing space for up to 230 additional cards.

Every tray includes images to match the theme of the game, plus icons to show which components go where. The images greatly improve the look of the trays, but also help in game clear up as you can instantly see what goes where.

The insert includes one long tray for storing the starter fish cards, nautoma decks and the first player token. This tray also holds the boards in position over the other trays.

When packing the box, first place the ocean mats on top of the lower level of trays. Next add the player aids in a single stack adjacent to the achievement board. The rule books and scorepad are added last as shown. This fully fills the box without any lid lift and allows for vertical storage of the game.
