Captain is the highest rank a player can have in a crew. Captains generally have either started the crew or were a former officer promoted by the previous captain. On doubloon oceans, captains must also have purchased the appropriate badge. Captains have the power to demote and promote anyone in autocratic crews, change the crew articles, and assign titles to anyone except for themselves. Depending on a crew's booty shares, captains may receive a bigger share than lower ranks.

In autocratic crews, the captain can do about anything he or she wants. Cabin persons can be promoted to senior officers and vice versa, as well as anything in between. It seems the one thing a captain can't do is assign a title to him- or herself.
