!!This game provides examples of:

* AllegedlyFreeGame: While the game's cash shop does provide a few opportunities to [[BribingYourWayToVictory bribe your way to victory]], the majority of the items for sale are cosmetic.
* BoardingParty: An option during sea combat, which allows you to capture the enemy ship rather than sinking it.
* BoozeBasedBuff: Giving rum to your crew will speed their recovery rate in battle. There's also that "medicinal" gin.
* CoolShip: A large part of the game is about acquiring various cool ships and upgrading them to make them even cooler.
* DualWielding: The Florentine fighting style utilizes a rapier and dagger in tandem.
* EyepatchOfPower: It wouldn't be a pirate game without them. Some are only available as [[AndYourRewardIsClothes quest rewards]].
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: A variety of monkeys are availabe as vanity pets.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Zombie Pirates]].
* GhostPirate: The Boogeyman may be one. He's clearly some sort of [[TheUndead undead]], at least.
* GunsAkimbo: A technique available in the Black Powder skill tree.
* IntrepidMerchant: The Freetrader career.
* [[MassMonsterSlaughterSidequest Mass Pirate Slaughter Sidequest]]: There are multiple repeatable quests in which you must defeat a number of ships belonging to certain hostile pirate clans.
* NotSoSafeHarbor: The game is full of these.
* PirateParrot: Available as a vanity pet.
* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: You'll see just as many female Naval Officers and Merchant Sailors as males.
* PowerFist: The Brawling combat school eschews swords in favor of handwraps for engaging in GoodOldFisticuffs.
* PirateGirl: Various {{NPC}}s, plus the player if you so choose.
* {{Privateer}}: One of the three careers available to non-pirate players.
* ShoutOut: Far, far too many to list here. Thankfully, most of them are already compiled [[http://potbs.wikia.com/wiki/Fun_facts here]].
* SwordAndGun: The default combat style for swashbuckling.
* TalkLikeAPirate: It crops up here and there, including in special holiday quests on TalkLikeAPirateDay.
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Players can unlock the ability to throw hand grenades in the Black Powder skill tree.
