What Makes a Good Sea of Thieves Ship Name?
A good Sea of Thieves ship name is concise, memorable, legible through a rival crew’s spyglass, and matches your crew’s playstyle. Funny pun-based names fit casual open-crew voyagers, while clean two-word titles carry authority for competitive Hourglass PvP sailors. The best names stay strictly under the 20-character limit and avoid unnecessary clutter.

How to Name Your Ship in Sea of Thieves
To officially name a ship in Sea of Thieves, you must become a Captain by purchasing a vessel from the main menu using gold (Sloops cost 250,000 gold, Brigantines 375,000 gold, and Galleons 500,000 gold). Once purchased, enter your chosen name into the christening prompt. To change your vessel’s name later, purchase a Ship Renaming Deed from the Pirate Emporium using Ancient Coins.
Sea of Thieves Ship Naming Rules & Formatting
When entering a custom ship name, the in-game registration system enforces strict formatting constraints:
- 20-Character Limit: Names exceeding 20 total characters (including spaces) are blocked.
- No Numbers: Digits (0–9) are rejected in vessel names.
- Formatting: Names cannot begin or end with whitespace.
- Community Guidelines: Names containing hate speech, harassment, or profanity violate Xbox and Rare code of conduct.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many characters can a Sea of Thieves ship name have?
Official Sea of Thieves ship names are capped at a maximum of 20 characters, including spaces and permitted punctuation like hyphens and apostrophes.
Can Sea of Thieves ship names contain numbers?
No. Sea of Thieves ship naming rules explicitly prohibit numbers (0–9) in vessel names to preserve maritime immersion and prevent automated spam.
Can I use special characters in my Sea of Thieves ship name?
Standard apostrophes and hyphens are permitted, but special symbols, emojis, and non-standard punctuation are blocked by the game filter.
How do I rename my ship in Sea of Thieves?
You can purchase a Ship Renaming Deed from the Pirate Emporium in-game using Ancient Coins. This allows you to christen your captained vessel with a new name without losing ship milestones or logbook stats.
Can two ships have the exact same name in Sea of Thieves?
Yes. Ship names are not globally unique across servers. Multiple captains can sail under the same name, as vessels are distinguished in the logbook by the captain’s gamertag.
What are good Sloop names for solo or duo players?
Good Sloop names are short, nimble, and often playful (e.g. Sloop There It Is, Salt Runner, Driftwood Rover, The Silver Gull).
What are good Brigantine names for 3-player crews?
Good Brigantine names combine speed, combat readiness, and aggressive maritime swagger (e.g. Blackwake, The Crimson Tide, Midnight Corsair, Pelagic Wanderer).
What are good Galleon names for 4-player flagships?
Good Galleon names sound heavy, commanding, and intimidating on the horizon (e.g. Krakenbane, Sunken Sovereign, Ironwood Corsair, Abyssal Vengeance).
