This mod by the PiratesAhoy! Community is still in active development on our forums.

We have come a long way since 2003, adding much new content and many new features.

Some of those which were considered impossible to achieve!



The intention is to provide as full an historical Age of Sail game experience as possible,

both more realistic, but also more fun.


New features include more storylines, historical detail, abilities for free play,

variety and more customisation than ever before.


Not to mention that the graphics have also been improved upon,

mainly with new models and textures, but also the sea itself and anywhere else that we could manage.


Although the game is called "Pirates of the Caribbean" and a lot of movie-specific content has been added,

that is not all that's been done.


Better still, there is a lot to enjoy even for those people who don't much care for the movies.

It is entirely possible to play the game as a fully realistic period naval simulation, rather than a movie tie-in.

Ahoy there everyone, and a happy new year!


This one is one that was literately years in the making. It could have carried on, but there always comes a moment when you need to draw a line. So Pieter Boelen as his final act on this mod released the final version of Build 14. Which you can download here on ModDB and the PiratesAhoy! website since yesterday. The last mod update article we had shared was back in 2016, so let us take a small glance on what has been added since. If you haven’t played since you may find something new.

For starters there have been changes and improvements on various storylines. Grey Roger’s “Ardent” has been extended and bugs have been fixed. Same for Jack Rackham’s “Gold Bug” and “Woodes Rogers”. The latter also got a second part, which fans of the first part should check out. Another storyline that got some love is “Devlin Opera”. Which used to be classified as unfinished, but BathtubPirate fixed this by working on it. Now there should be more to it.

New side quests were also added. Grey Roger made "Crystal Skull", "Silver for Cartagena", and "Natividad Incident" for Horatio Hornblower (both FreePlay and storyline). While Bartolomeu o Portugues made "A Family Story" and "A French Companion" for José Joaquím Almeida. Plus there now are background profession specific “trophy quests”. So far the one for agents was made by Grey Roger, the one for engineers by Jack Rackham, and the gambler’s one by both pedrwyth and Jack Rackham.

Davy Jones, and his crew, got new character models by Karlik Nos.
And on the same topic, his ship and cabin also got new models I borrowed from Sea Dogs: To Each His Own.

Women can now also sit down, and be assigned governors.tavern women2


As for new ships; some that are used in quests or as character ships are the following:

“FastGalleon5” for “Ardent” by Grey Roger.ship1


A new version of the cursed Mariana by GhostOfDeath91 for Ricardo Orellana, his free play character.ship2


A modified version of Armada's "Kreyser" Class Frigate by me. Used as the “Mefisto” in the "Revolutions" period.ship3

Last but not least, there have been new characters to play as. One of them being Drake Stranton, from the novel Cursed Vengeance by Brent Jackson. Model made by Jack Rackham and Grey Roger.CV2


There is that, and more I couldn’t add here and now. So what are ye waiting for!? Go out to the seas ye scurvy sea dogs, will you!

I installed the mod and everything works amazingly well! Loved it. Just a small "problem". I see that in the game options I'm to be able to turn right/left with a/d keys, but this isn't working ;-;

The sidestep is disabled by default because people complained about it too much. You can enable it again at the bottom of PROGRAM\InternalSettings.h

I'm about to play this game for the first time and it'll also be my first sea dogs game. Would you guys recommend I play the vanilla version of this game first or should I just start with this mod enabled?
