Here are funny ship names for Sea of Thieves

The biggest shame is to be taken down by someone with a funny ship name.

Sea of Thieves allows players to name their ship, albeit with certain restrictions. The best ship names stay with you long after encountering them; 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.

How to name and rename your ship in Sea of Thieves

To name a ship, you must own and captain a ship. Upon purchasing it, you will be prompted to name it. Choose wisely and hit submit.

If you mess up and want to rename your ship, you can. Go to the Pirate Emporium in the main menu and select the captaincy tab. Buy the Ship renaming deed. It will cost 499 ancient coins or USD 5.49. Once you launch a game, you can look through your ships and select the one you want to rename using the deed.

  • The name cannot exceed 20 characters
  • Cannot end in a space
  • Cannot contain numbers
  • 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.

Beware, me hearties:

If you are found to be breaking the Sea of Thieves Community Code of Conduct or Xbox Code of Conduct, you can be held liable with actions like being unable to rename a ship, in-game suspensions, and even permanent bans.
