Sea The Moon's first race as a three-year-old was the Frühjahrs Dreijährigen-Preis on 11 May 2014. Jockey Andreas Helfenbein sent him into the lead after the field had traveled one furlong. He was challenged in the finishing straight, but pulled away inside the final furlong to win by two lengths from Abendwind. Just over one month later, Sea The Moon started as favourite for the Union-Rennen. He was again sent out into an early lead by Helfenbein, and after being challenged with two furlongs to go, he drifted to the left and pulled clear in the final 100 yards to win by three lengths from Rapido. On 6 July, Sea The Moon started as the favourite for the Deutsches Derby, where he was ridden by Christophe Soumillon. After being drawn wide he soon took the lead. As the field turned into the finishing straight, he crossed the track to race on the opposite side to the rest of the field. In the closing stages of the race, Sea The Moon pulled well clear of the other runners to win by eleven lengths from Lucky Lion, who was a further two and a half lengths ahead of third placed Open Your Heart.
