To begin customizing the outer appearance of your ship, you must be alongside the Ship Customization Chest near the Shipwright’s Shop. Simply follow these steps:

  • Open the “Ship Customizations” tab to view owned customization options
  • If none owned, purchase exteriors from the Shipwright vendor
  • Apply desired hull, sail, and other exterior elements

If you don’t have any customizations yet, you’ll need to purchase some from the Shipwright’s Shop vendor.

  • Talk to them and browse the “Ship Customizations” items available for purchase using your hard-earned gold.

Keep in mind that some fancier options may be locked until you reach higher trading company levels or complete certain commendations.

Upgrading the Ship’s Interior in Sea of Thieves

You can revamp your ship’s interior living quarters as long as you are the captain. Interact with that trusty Ship Customization Chest again and follow these steps:

  • Open the “Ship Decorations” tab in the customization chest
  • Browse and apply any unlocked interior decorations

If you don’t have any decorations yet, visit the Shipwright vendor and check the “Ship Decoration” tab in their stock.

  • Purchase rugs, chairs, and other cozy touches using your gold and class milestones from the various trading companies.

Just be mindful that some flair is exclusive to certain ship types like the galleon.

Trinkets and Trophies in Sea of Thieves

Once you’ve achieved captain status, you can place little trinkets and trophies around your ship’s lower decks for some ambiance:

  • On the bottom deck, approach any shelves or walls until you see the “Place Trinket” prompt. This will pull up a list of any ornaments or trophies you own to place around the ship.
  • To expand your trinket collection, swing by the Shipwright’s Shop once more and browse their “Ship Trinkets” stock.

You can purchase decorative ornaments anytime using gold, while trophies require you to reach certain class milestones in different trading companies first.

With some patience, gold, and dedication to those trading companies, your ship will transform into a sail-borne masterpiece, the envy of all pirates sailing the Sea of Thieves. So get to customizing and check other guides to master your Sea of Thieves journey!
