You get a larger ship by having a lot of doubloons and then go to dragon cove and buy and new ship. Hint the cheapest ship is 3000 doubloons and the most expensive is more than 30000 doubloons.
You can trade your ship in when you buy a larger one.
When you have enough doubloons, from salvage or trade, you can buy a larger ship at the Shipbuilder on Dragon Cove.
The only ship you go on is your own. You begin with the raft and you buy larger ships as you can afford them.
You can get a larger ship when you can afford one, at the Shipbuilder in Dragon Cove. The smaller ships have a small trade-in value (25% of their cost).
Just dock in an island and your ship (or raft) will fully heal.
Once you have collected enough doubloons, you can buy a larger ship at Dragon Cove. The larger ships have increasing numbers of cannons as well as cargo space.
The cannons on your ship!
You go into any harbor.
Ships are sold at the Ship Shape shipbuilders on Dracon Cove island. Buying a larger ship increases your cargo capacity and fighting ability. You should not buy a ship if doing so prevents you from buying a full cargo for the larger ship, because otherwise you will waste time on unprofitable sailing.
As you salvage, trade, or borrow on the five islands, you will eventually have enough doubloons to buy a larger ship (the Jimmy Rigger) for 3000 doubloons. Ships are bought at the Ship Shape shipbuilders on Dracon Cove island.
You can trade your ship "down" to a smaller ship, but only if you were desperate. Larger ships have more cargo space and can pickup more salvage, and in almost every case is preferable to a smaller ship. You only get 25% of the purchase price of any ship when you trade it in, and that is usually for a larger one.
No. To sail a ship, go to Skullduggery Island.
