Until you’re ready to man your own ship, stowing away on a ship is an inexpensive, safe, and quick way to get around. Dockworkers will help smuggle you aboard a ship that is heading to one of the main islands of Port Royal, Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Cuba. (Teleportation is instantanious once you pay.)
To become a stowaway, approach a Dockworker, and request passage. Dockworkers can be found on the main dock of the islands. A Dockworker will then crate you up as cargo and stow you away on the next ship bound for the port city of your choosing. Stowing away will cost you a bit of gold, depending on your destination, but your journey is guaranteed to be a safe one. We still recommend you learn to sail as soon as you’re able – in Captain Jack Sparrow’s words – “it’s your freedom.”
