When you want to conquer the ocean in Corsair Cove, you will need more than a high-tier ship; a ship is only as good as the crew and captain behind the wheel. Corsair Cove features a long list of Captains and Crew to manage the ship’s exploration, damage dealing, armor, and more. The stats of each crew member and captain will make up for a lot of possible combinations to make you a fierce opponent on the sea.
So when you are stepping into the Naval Battle in Corsair Cave, here is the list of Captains and Crew information you need to know about beforehand.
All Ship Captains List
The game features 12 ship Captains, each with their own unique personality, perks, and captain’s actions. When you first build your ship, the Landlubber, you will get access to the first four: Teach, Scarlet, Honorata, and Kanja right away without any quest involvement. The next four Captains: Charlie, Raven, Timothy, and Enrique are tied to different quests, and the remaining four: John, Akua, Chen, and Audenzia are obtained from exploration.

Unlike the ships and crew, Captains don’t have a tier system attached to their name. It’s the Captain’s actions and perks that set them apart from each other. They are all categorized to meet different needs; if you are solely seeking more damage, then Teach will be a better candidate, but if you want to hunt for resources such as Lens or wine, then Jonah will be the proper man behind the wheel.
All Pirate Crew Types
Starting out, all of your early to mid-tier crew’s demands are somewhat manageable, but as you progress, the upkeep cost will weigh you down. Some resources are rarer than others, such as Tobacco, which you will have to go out and obtain.

Unlike Captains, you will have to deal with way too many things when you are picking the perfect crew for your vessel. The Tier system will always help you guide you to a better crew, but you will also have to keep an eye out for the upkeep item. As you play the game, you will soon realize keeping people happy can be a difficult task in the game. They also need the requirement of the construction of a specific building on the island to even unlock. Not all crews are compatible with every ship in the game apart from the Swabbie.
That’s it, now you know about all the Captains and Crew that will help you bring havoc to the ocean in Corsair Cove.
