There are four types of enemy vessels that the player will need to engage in battle with over the multiple memories:
| Ship | Lvl | Plunder |
|---|---|---|
| Gunboat | 1 | Ammo |
| 2 | ||
| 6 | ||
| These small ships are fast, but weak. They are limited to 2 front facing cannons with no ability to broadside or attack behind them. That being said, these ships usually appear in numbers and can easily dish out some damage if not taken care of quickly. Taking out these quickly with broadsides, especially if you can hit two at once, is a good idea. | ||
| Schooner | 4 | Medium (not Metal), 1 Crew |
| 8 | ||
| 11 | ||
| Schooners are fast due to light armor, but chasing them is a bad idea as they tend to drop Fire Barrels. With 4 broadside cannons, they can be deadly in groups and should be taken out quickly. Attack them with broadsides and use the Swivel Gun to hit their weak points and finish them off. | ||
| Brig | 17 | Medium, 3 Crew |
| 20 | ||
| 25 | ||
| These fast and aggressive ship will spend most of their time trying to ram you, making them perfect targets for speeding up and dropping some Fire Barrels on them as they pass behind you. With cannons on all sides, they are best avoided from the sides and best attacked from the rear. | ||
| Frigate | 23 | Large, 5 Crew |
| 29 | ||
| 38 | ||
| The best all around ships in the Caribbean, they are durable with decent handling. Avoid their broadsides if possible or brace as needed. Attacking them from afar with Mortars is the safest plan of attack, though costly, and from the rear, where they have no cannons. Try and stay behind them as they circle to try and face you and use the Swivel Gun on their weak points. | ||
| Man-of-War | 36 | Large, 7 Crew |
| 49 | ||
| 60 | ||
| These beasts are great at long range and close range combat due to their triple broadside cannons and Mortar shots. There is no safe zone other than behind these slow monsters, so stay there and use Heavy Shot and Swivel Gun fire to eat them up. As with Frigates, the Jackdaw has better manuverability to its advantage, so use it. | ||
