Women were officially refused entry into naval service for their own protection. As you can imagine, sticking thirty guys on a leaky wooden boat for months at a time leaves them wanting for sexual attention. If you had a woman wondering around the ship, she would be exposed to everything from catcalling to rape. There's also the logistical needs of separating female crew from male crew, which would be an added expense for navies.
However, while not having women on ships was the official position of local governments and navies -- whose interests lay in liability protection -- no such rule existed for private ships, passenger carriers, privateers, or pirates. There are, in fact, several famous female pirates (Anne Bonney, for one) and many instances of captains taking their families along on voyages. Plus, you can't rule out cross-dressing females who needed jobs and were willing to live like men while shipboard in order to survive. Their stories are lost to history, but surely it happened more often than you would think.
