Ships are the cornerstone of Skull and Bones. The type you choose will determine your playstyle during combat and when transporting/storing cargo. As of this writing, the game has 10 ships that you can build, upgrade, and use, although we know Ubisoft plans to introduce more with the season system.
There are three categories of ships: boat, small and medium. The big ones are yet to come. Within each category we can find three specializations: tank, support and DPS. Once we have acquired our favorite, we must include the correct weapons and accessories to perform our role well. Now, where can we get the plans for all of them so we can craft them?

Now that you know where to get all the ships, if you don’t have the rank and/or silver to buy the plans yet, you can at least have them located so you can go quickly… even save the fast travel (by disembarking) to go quickly when you have met the requirements. In any case, the game has some help to guide you. And if not, you always have the codex.
