What Makes a Good Sea of Thieves Ship Name?
A good Sea of Thieves ship name is short, memorable, easy to read through a rival crew's spyglass, and fits your crew's playstyle. Funny pun-based names work well for casual crews, while clean two-word titles carry authority for competitive hourglass sailors. The best names stay comfortably under the 20-character limit and avoid unnecessary numbers or clutter.

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.
Can Sea of Thieves ship names contain numbers?
No. Sea of Thieves ship naming rules explicitly prohibit numbers in vessel names to maintain immersion and prevent automated spam.
Can I use special characters in my ship name?
Standard apostrophes and hyphens are generally allowed, but special symbols, emojis, and non-standard characters are restricted by the game filter.
Can I rename a ship in Sea of Thieves after buying it?
Yes. You can purchase a Ship Renaming Deed from the Pirate Emporium in-game to rename your captained vessel without losing ship milestones or logbook stats.

Yes. Ship names are not globally unique across servers. Multiple captains can sail under the same name, as vessels are distinguished by captain gamertag and logbook records.

Good Sloop names are short, nimble, and often lighthearted (e.g. Sloop There It Is, Salt Runner, Driftwood, Sloop Doggy).
What are good Brigantine names?
Good Brigantine names combine speed and firepower for 3-player crews (e.g. Blackwake, Tempest Wind, Crimson Wave, Pelagic Corsair).
What are good Galleon names?
Good Galleon names sound heavy, authoritative, or fearsome for 4-player crews (e.g. Abyssal Vanguard, Krakenbane, Restless Sovereign, Iron Corsair).
