Sailing should be second nature to a pirate. As you cruise the Caribbean, you'll get a feel for each type of ship and learn how to get the most out of them.

Captaining and Crews
If you're daft as well as brave, you can set sail alone –– just don't expect to survive. For those who want a fair chance of coming back, there are two ways to sail the seas –– as a captain of your own vessel with your own crew, or as a member of another captain's crew.
If you're not ready to captain your own vessel yet, or if you don't want to gather a crew, you can sign on to someone else's ship. Just make sure that ship is going in the direction you want to go, and that captain is strong and stout. After all, it's your hide on the line.
Becoming a Captain
Blimey, all you need is your own ship! But keep in mind that a captain has responsibilities. Know how to handle your vessel. Make sure she's the right kind of ship for the job at hand. And it's a smart sailor who crews aboard other ships first in order to learn how to command fellow Pirates in battle.
Sailing Skills
There's nothing Pirates love more than the feel of a ship beneath their feet. And when you command your own vessel at sea, you have access to special commands that allow you to enjoy and profit from the experience all the more. These commands will appear at the bottom of your screen, and allow you to control your crew and coordinate battles.

|Game Tip: Only the Captain can fire a ship's broadsides cannons. Crew members control a single deck cannon apiece. Sailing solo, a Captain can leave the wheel to man a cannon by hitting Escape. Disengage from the cannon by hitting Escape again, and return to the helm.
