The game

Life under the black flag

Not a five-minute ride but a shared world: one ship, one crew and one sea for everyone.

Your own crew

Your own ship from the yard, your own crew: whoever boards serves under you and wakes up on your ship.

Boarding and loot

Chase merchant ships and hit them with a broadside. Flag struck — take the doubloons for the whole crew.

A living sea

Real waves and rolling, a wake behind the stern, calm and storm, day and night — the same for every player.

Voice and music

Voice chat: you hear those nearby. An organ in the cabin, sea shanties and a DJ on deck.

Legend

A ship without a king

The Black Crown

They say her keel was laid the night every lighthouse of the archipelago went dark. A black hull, gold on the stern, sails torn by storms. The Black Crown serves no king — she is led by the Captain, and everyone who steps on her deck becomes part of the legend.

Tortuga

The last free port. Hulls are patched at the pier, loot is shared and rum is poured at the Drunken Kraken. The shipyard hands out your first sloop — new crews set sail from here.

The open sea

Beyond the horizon lie cliff forts, smoking volcanoes, fishing villages and sandbars with old wrecks. And in the fog, they whisper at the tavern, a ship without a single light sometimes passes by…

World

An endless ocean

Tortuga lies at the centre. Beyond it — islands of the era: forts, volcanoes, villages, wrecks on sandbars, smugglers’ coves. The map never ends — just like the sea.

**Market and quarters**Cobbled streets, stalls with traders and shops with painted signs.

**Mountains and jungle**Beyond the town: overgrown slopes and a peak above the whole island.

**Islands**A fortress, a volcano, a cove with a cave, a shipwreck — six kinds across the ocean.

**Underwater**Below the surface: fish, jellyfish and sharks. You can swim in straight from the beach.

**Storms**Huge waves, rolling decks and spray over the rail. The weather is the same for every player.

A sea without end — sail wherever you like

Six kinds of islands appear along the way. Around Tortuga lies a green zone: no shooting there.

Update · 12.11.2026

What’s new

Ships, from the inside

Update of 11 November: you can now walk through the ships from the inside — from the gun deck down to the hold. The shipyard has a brigantine, the tailor has 16 new outfits with a 3D try-on, and sails come in 12 new colours.

Holds and gun decksThe schooner, xebec and fluyt have holds you can climb down into, and the fluyt has cabins behind doors. The ship of the line gained a third gun deck, and the holds of the big ships now have a barred brig.
BrigantineA new ship at the Tortuga shipyard: two masts, an easy turn of speed and a hold below deck.
16 new outfitsCabin Boy, Bosun, Red Bill, One-Eye, Madame Wong, the Sea Witch and more. Try an outfit on in 3D before you buy.
12 new sail coloursScarlet, emerald, golden, purple, striped — your ship stands out from afar.
The Dutchman and the RevengeThe Flying Dutchman has a furnished sterncastle, bone ribs and ghost light. Queen Anne’s Revenge is rebuilt after Blackbeard’s historical ship. Every class carries its own figurehead.
A wet deckIn rain and storm the planks darken and shine with water. And now you can swab the deck.
Life aboardInside a ship you can sit down, lie down, ring the bell and open the chart on the table. At a gun, you can fire it alone, without the full broadside.
TortugaCobbled streets and a market with stalls. Tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, windows glowing at night, fishermen’s huts by the shore and a chapel beyond the town.
IslandsNew terrain: a fortress, a volcano, a cove with a cave, a shipwreck. And finds wait on the shore — crates, wreckage and hidden caches.
Cursed SeasEight new looks at the tailor: Captain of the Deep, Phantom Admiral, Fog Navigator, Tide Priestess, Bone Bosun and more — shells, coral, chains and ghostly light.

About the game

A multiplayer pirate game about ships and the open sea

Black Crown is a free online pirate game that runs right in your browser — on PC and on your phone, with nothing to download or install. It is a browser MMO set on one shared ocean: wind, storms and nightfall arrive for every player at the same moment.

Start with a corvette at the Tortuga pier, gather a crew of friends and sail into the open sea. Chase merchant ships, hit them with a broadside, board them and split the loot across the whole crew. The multiplayer ship battles feel real: waves and rolling, wind in the sails and guns that need time to reload.

The shipyard offers more than twenty classes of ships — from the sloop and the brig to the frigate, the galleon, the ship of the line and the giant Leviathan — and you can walk through them from the gun deck down to the hold. Islands hide forts, fishing villages, volcanoes, smugglers’ coves and treasure, while Tortuga has taverns, shops, stables and a tailor.

Clans, proximity voice chat and your own flag on the masts make it a sea adventure game that is best played with friends. Standalone versions for Windows and Android are available too, with the same account.

Questions and answers

Is the game free?

Yes. You can play for free: register with a nickname and password or jump in as a guest. Ships, outfits and upgrades are bought with doubloons you earn in the game, and new players get a corvette and 5,000 doubloons at the Tortuga pier.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Black Crown runs right in the browser. If you like, you can install the Windows program or the Android app — both update themselves and use the same account.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. On a phone your left thumb is the joystick, the right one looks around, and actions are on the buttons to the right. Hold the phone sideways. There is a “Saver” graphics mode for weaker devices.

How do I play with friends?

A friend climbs aboard your ship and joins your crew: loot is shared, and you cannot hurt your own people. You can found a clan with a tag, a shared treasury and your own flag on the masts, and voice chat lets you hear everyone nearby.

Why is the game 18+?

Tortuga has taverns serving rum and venues for adults, and battles are fought at sea. There are no explicit scenes, but the game is made for adult players.

Is there PvP between players?

Yes. In the open sea you can fight merchant ships and other players. Around Tortuga there is a green zone where nobody shoots, so new players are not sunk right at the pier.

Which languages are supported?

The site and the game are available in Russian, Azerbaijani, English and Turkish.
