Letters of Marque - Live the life of a Privateer in a pirate world yarrr

Game Type : Arcadish RPG
Developer Quote : Your task as a Privateer is to save the world from a pirate infestation. Command your crew as they wage war on an army of enemy ships, pillaging and plundering your way to total sea domination.
Game Info Quote  : Ships of all sizes can be had for the right amount of coin (with the larger ships capable of carrying more weaponry.) As you command your ship, your crew will become more experienced and dangerous to all who oppose them. Weaponry itself comes in a variety of flavors that are sure to get the job done. You can even use the ship itself to ram into your enemies! But of course the ranged weapons are much less damaging to your ship. Weaponry can be upgraded as well to help you overcome tough obstacles (e.g. pirates).The world is full of pirates, but not all pirates are alike. Some are simple hunter/gatherers whose sole purpose is to provide their comrades with food while others command the deadliest war vessels on the water.  As a rookie Privateer, you will want to start out small; take out some fishing boats until you acquire the equipment needed to attack some of the more dangerous ships on the sea. But the only way to really eliminate the pirates is to cut them off at the source. You will eventually need to take over the ports where they gather and recruit scallywags. Lucky for you, these ports offer goods to help you along the way. Once they are free of the pirates' control, the markets will be able to service you in the fight against the pirates.

Freebooter - An Open-world Seafaring Game, time to set sail gamers! (Kickstarter)

Game Type : Single player open world game set in a fantasy pirate world
Developer/Project By : Nissanthen Thiruravichandran (TribunalGames)
Kickstarter Goal : £50,000
Developer Quote :  Wonders, riches and a vast uncharted sea! All waiting for a captain bold enough to brave the dangers in Freebooter.
Game Info Quote : Freebooter is a single player open world game set in a fantasy pirate world. Like barnacles on the hull of a ship, the world of Freebooter is dotted with islands. The only way to travel is by ship, all trade is done in harbors and wars are fought as much for the sea as for the land. Every time you start a new game, we create a new world for the player to explore. New islands are placed, complete with natural resources and settlements. These settlements may be independent or they may belong to a faction. The factions themselves are also procedurally generated, with their own colours, territory and characteristics. Freebooter is all about giving the player the freedom to explore this world - we just provide a starting ship and the opportunities. You are never really locked into a role when you play Freebooter. For example, even if you have been trading for a long time, there is nothing to stop you from exchanging your merchant ship for a battleship and doing a bit of pirating or fighting a war.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: NEW HORIZONS - The best mod for Pirates of the Caribbean

Game Genre : New Horizons is a massive overhaul mod of the Pirates of the Caribbean RPG
Developer : PiratesAhoy!
Developer Quote : "Pirates of the Caribbean: New Horizons", also known as PiratesAhoy! Community Build 14, has been in development ever since the release of Build 13 in early 2007. We have come a long way since then, adding much new content and many new features, some of which were thought to be impossible to achieve even by the original game developers themselves.
Game Info Quote : The intention is to provide as full an historical Age of Sail game experience as possible, both more realistic, but also more fun. New features include more storylines, historical detail, abilities for free play, variety and more customization than ever before. Not to mention that the graphics have also been improved upon, mainly with new models and textures, but also the sea itself and anywhere else that we could manage. Although the game is called "Pirates of the Caribbean" and a lot of movie-specific content has been added, that is not all that's been done. Better still, there is a lot to enjoy even for those people who don't much care for the movies and it is entirely possible to play the game as a fully realistic period naval simulation, rather than a movie tie-in.
Further Info : This Mod almost gives you that perfect sea fairing experience, it enhances so much in the game,from massive gameplay enhancements, new realism options, to ship model updates, freeplay, storylines, hidden treasures and much much more. If you have Pirates of the Caribbean, then download this mod NOW!
