The Gunboat is a tiny, single-decked Small Ship. It is the fastest ship, but fragile and lightly armed. Gunboats carry 2 cannons per side, 2 bow cannons, and 2 anti-personnel swivels at the rear. By size, it is the smallest ship in the game.

Gunboats are popular among small crews of 2-4 and lone captains, generally used for boarding, ramming, and harassing other ships. Their high speed and lack of side cannon lends them well to close-range tactics. Due to their small complement of cannons and cramped deck space, they are unfit to be used as regular broadside ships.

If the Gunboat is fired at for any period of time, it is likely to take many causalities as there are almost no spots on the ship where the crew can stand without being damaged from a cannonball. It does not sink very quickly from a few holes alone, however unlike other ships which sink at a similar rate it is very hard to repair without dying and the ship sinks because the crew cannot fix any of the holes.
