How do you get enough doubloons to buy the phoenix warbird in Skullduggery Island?

Get the Jimmy Rigger as your first ship.
You do not have to buy the Warbird as your only ship. Normally, you will buy the ship that is next larger from your current one, then trade with it awhile to earn the doubloons for the next larger ship. As your available cargo space grows, you will earn ever-larger amounts of salvage, and make more profit. You can get ships faster with a loan from the Golden Harbor Bank (but they charge interest). When you have half of the price of the next larger ship, borrow the difference, then repay it using the larger ship. Eventually you will have the Warbird, which you need to defeat Captain Crawfish.
Trading Scheme
Use the "clockwise circular trading route" to take advantage of the cheaper price to buy some cargoes.
Buy Silk cheaply at Dragon Cove and sell it for much more at Bouffant Bay.
Buy Medicine cheaply at Bouffant Bay and sell it for much more at Parrot Port or Golden Harbor.
Buy Grain cheaply at Golden Harbor and sell it for much more at the Pirate Outpost.
Buy Spice cheaply at the Pirate Outpost and sell it for much more at Dragon Cove.
Sea Creatures and Pirates
When you have cannons, you can begin to fight sea creatures and pirates. Beating them generates a mass of salvage when they sink, enough to fill smaller ships. Skill at shooting will let you accumulate more doubloons at a faster rate, but you may still wish to trade at some times.
You can shoot sea creatures above Dragon Cove, and pirates between Golden Harbor and the Pirate Outpost. Smaller ships are at a disadvantage, but you may have some luck if the larger pirates crash into the reefs in the narrow passes around Golden Harbor.

All of the ships larger than the raft have cannons, but you need the biggest ship, the Phoenix Warbird, to beat Captain Crawfish. As you can afford each larger ship, trade up to get cargo and doubloons faster.
How do you get the Phoenix warbird and sink Captain Crawfish on Skullduggery Island?
You buy your first ship at Dragon Cove when you have 3000 doubloons from salvage and trading. As you accumulate more wealth, buy larger ships and hire the skilled crewmen. In order to beat Captain Crawfish, you need the Phoenix warbird and two skilled crew: the cannoneer (to fire fast enough) and the shipwright (to repair your ship). You actually only need 500,000 doubloons to get the Warbird because the Golden Harbor Bank will loan you the other 500,000 and you really don't ever have to pay it back because you win the island.

How do you get the governor to look at the treasure map on Skullduggery Island?
He doesn't need to see the map. He knows where the treasure is buried. Once you recover the 5 map pieces, revealing the small island Skullduggery, you still have to earn enough doubloons to buy the Phoenix Warbird, and hire the Shipwright and Cannoneer. Only when you have defeated Captain Crawfish will the governor give you the directions to the buried treasure.

You can get doubloons by sinking other ships, monsters and by selling cargo.
What do you do after you get to skullduggery on Skullduggery Island?
After you collect all 5 map pieces, the new island (Skullduggery) appears near the Pirate Outpost. But there is nothing you can do there right away. You have to continue to accumulate doubloons, so that you can buy a ship that can beat Captain Crawfish. You need the largest ship, the Phoenix warbird, and the skilled crewmen: the Shipwright and the Cannoneer. Once you defeat captain Crawfish, return to Fort Ridley and the governor will give you the directions to the buried treasure on the small island.
