Sea of Thieves allows players to name their ship, albeit with rule certain restrictions. The name cannot exceed 20 characters, cannot end in a space, cannot contain numbers, and cannot contain certain characters. Although these rules are pretty strict, they lead to more creativity than just using someone else’s ship name and adding “2,” for example.
It would be nice to copy the name of a famous ship, like Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge, Captain Hook’s Jolly Roger, or Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind, but you should want some originality. The best ship names stay with you long after encountering them, and a great way to do that is to make it funny. Typically, these are ship puns because they stick to your head when you read them.
Luckily, we’ve gathered some of the funniest ship names you can use while sailing the high seas in Sea of Thieves.
