- The ONLY Boat You NEED in Sea of Thieves
A lot of pirates agonize over the choice between Sloop, Brigantine or Galleon even though the answer is simple: The humble rowboat!
In today's episode, Brandon and I made it our mission to prove why this vessel is superior to all the other ones by embarking on a rowboat challenge.
Magical things happen when only spend your time on a rowboat between many highlight worthy situations and funny moments, we also had to combat a toxic crew while raiding a Fort of Fortune.
I hope you're ready for this tale because when it comes to toxic pirates in PvP, Brandon and I are more than happy to enact our own pirate code. Enjoy!

If I had to guess, ancient skeletons are made to spawn when you're least expecting them, on islands away from your ship etc., so seeing as you were away from your ship for nearly the entirety of your playtime, it greatly increased the chance for them to spawn.
that's a good theory that i might put to the test soon
It doesn't actually work that way when player get near an island they will spawn on the island but ships never spawn well atleast they won't attack u if they did
@@hunterrhoads7003that was the most incoherent sentence I’ve ever read
@@Elgallo1107 fr, I don't even know what he was trying to say..

"But no matter how many times we sunk them, they just kept coming back."
One of my biggest annoyances with the game. A few fights is exhilarating, nonstop harassment is fatiguing.
You would think that being angry and hideous all the time would be the MOST exhausting thing! I'm always surprised to find people who choose to devote their energy to such nonsense.
@@thatguy5 This boggles my mind too! What drives a whole galleon crew to fruitlessly keep coming back to be killed and sunk my mine, for an hour? Maybe because admitting defeat is more painful for them?
Honestly one of the worst aspects of the game and Rare keeps refusing to do anything about it. Sick of sinking the same crew 4 times just to make sure my FoF isn't stolen.
For real though, you would think they could have a built in mechanic where if you get wiped (i.e. whole crew dies and ship sinks) by the same crew multiple times (I don't know, maybe say, 3 times?) that you and your crew get migrated to another server. That would solve grief issues on both sides.
"Why can't you just accept that you lost" - The guy who sank over and over, then kept going back.
I can't lie, I respect the dedication, I wouldn't have been able to "sail" on a rowboat for 6 hours Cliff you are a madman. (and Brandon :D)
ngl Brandon did most of the rowing because I kept beating up the rowie every time I tried
I remember how I did beat the fleet with just a rowboat, my main ship had sunk, but I had lots of bombs and only 3 ships left. Then I just grabbed all the chest and row to the nearest outpost
@@CliffTheStoryGuy mans becoming mihawk
I did a guilded Athena with 6 buddies on a row boat 😂
back in the early seasons of the game me and my buddy almost lived off of rowboats. row to island, loot supplies, repeat, row to skullfort, hide boat, tuck and wait, steal the goods from the rightful crew that beat it, repeat. being chased by brig, jettison myself in the rowboat with the loot while we circle a rock and let my crewmate manning the sloop lead them on a goose chase while i row halfway across the map to ancient spire. good times.
the cannon rowboat is technically the smallest ship because: you can get on and off it, it has a cannon to defend itself, you can store loot on it, and it has a way to sink. It may be missing the map table and storage barrels but you can replace the storage barrels with storage crate.
rowboats have a storage compartment under the seat
The devs had a concept for a gunboat, that would be suitable for a single crewmate, but the idea was scrapped and the smallest ship we currently have is the sloop.
@@hlibushok i wouldnt even touch a gun boat if it was added, i have so many hours solo slooping that i know every inch of that ship, and what i need to prioritize on it in battle
@@bugsmith9751 Well, obviously, but if a gunboat existed from a start it would (probably) be the main solo vessel.
you mean harpoon?
Thank you for making this.
One of my single favorite moments in Sea of Thieves was launching myself into an island for supplies, only to find a bunch of loot and a rowboat with a cannon.
Not sure exactly how, but my navigation skills led me across the entire ocean, following as my friends as they tracked down a sloop for plunder.
In a stroke of stupidly persistent genius, I caught up with the crew by the time they started ramming my crew. Before the boat could escape, I set them on fire and dropped their sail using cursed balls, and well, it was kind of badass.
They couldn't believe how well I could keep up, on a rowboat. I'm known as the rowboat professional of the crew now.
What a legend
@@CliffTheStoryGuy
It is my single proudest Sea of Thieves accomplishment.
reminds me of the time I rowed 20+ nautical miles stalking an athena emmisary brigantine and stole some athena loot, my fingers were tired afterward but I earned the title "rowboat lord" in my crew
@@quantanium1077
Oh man, they must have been PISSED.
I'm still the rowboat lord of my crew. I'm almost 45 in my main 3 reputations. I have a habit of catapulting, sailing, even swimming island to island and soloing fortresses, to give you an idea how I get my reputation up.
I'll solo just about any PvE. I attempted to solo an Ashen Lord, but another crew came in and sniped me. My mates were doing the Megalodon event during this, and Mermaid Hideaway happened to spawn an Ashen Lord right when my buddies left, so I swam back to it, maybe a couple nautical miles. Fought two sharks at once and not a scratch on me. Brought the Ashen Lord to it's second phase, got sniped.
Heh, sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
Last week me and a friend actually did something similar to this video.
“There are 2 brigantines at that FoF and we have a rowboat, you thinking what I’m thinking?”
“I’ve soloed an ashen lord while double gunning, shouldn’t be too hard”
So we row over there and use the 2 brigantines to sink each other and make them hate each other and start doing the fort ourselves. One of the brigantines came back but instead of tuccing we continued doing the fort, the more combat the better. We were so close, cleared about 10 waves up until we were overwhelmed by skeleton kegs, 2 skeleton lords, a “pistol boi” firing squad, and players. We bit off a bit more than we could chew had so much fun.
Finally someone bloody realized how perfect damn rowboats are. Shrines are impossible to lose, seaforts are easy if you’ve got your pistol, and FoFs are a little tough but avoided with a cannon rowboat. Sorry I forgot to mention, NO ONE CAN SEE YOU.
In one session you guys saw more ancient skeles than I have seen in total. Actually crazy
Yeah I still can't believe it
i havent seen one and i have 278 hours of gameplay!
@@charlieandstuff7305 Don't worry, i have about the same hours, and the only time i saw it i didn't killed it
I have seen and killed a very few in my time with the game. I have seen about six, killed three lost one to another crew and another to him burrowing away and two of the three I have killed were in a single play session.

Man said “exited” lol
thats because they go for content, other sot youtubers upload them tryharding (when they have everything unlocked and no need to tryhard) and others just stream highlights
we are simply spoiled by the frequency of these videos, thank you for always lightening up our day!! :D
Thank YOU for coming back to watch time and time again!

That explains how I got two in the shores of gold
Pov: some jackass with 28 treasure chests on his dinky life-boats skids past your ship, with the SpongeBob theme playing on the radio nonstop
I remember my first chest of sorrow, I had no idea that it cried and sunk the ship, so being a naive young pirate I venture myself into pirate's heaven whilst leaving the chest alone in my ship, when I came back there was nothing but the loot, fruit of my effort, and that damned chest with it's vengeful grief.
But luck was set upon me, as a lonely rowboat lazily floated to my side, asking me to not give up my loot for scavengers to find.
I set my course blindly amidst the open ocean, and even though it was risky, I still took with me that treacherous suffering chest, hoping it would not cry until I made it safely to land again. To my surprise, the chest wept but my rowboat did not falter a bit, and in no time I had made my way over to the nearest outpost and sold all my loot, and it was all because of that sturdy, beautiful little boat.
A have many a tale of that boat saving my life, and in the process, my faith in the sea of thieves.
Bro this is the best comment I’ve seen so far on a SOT video
I was on this server when you guys were here. I saw the key in the sea and knowing the story behind it makes this amazing XD
In this episode, Cliff decides to break his own legs, then cleans the streets of toxicity
😤 somebody has to do it
I love your content, it's just so refreshing and gets me back into the game almost everytime.
same
I think the reason why a lot of Ancient Skeletons spawned is because you weren't on the ship the whole time to it counted you as exploring islands and staying on them for long periods of time.
That's an interesting theory
@@CliffTheStoryGuy I mean I've searched up many ways to get Ancient Skels to spawn and this is incredible and I thought it made more sense. And is easier, the only problem is finding a row boat 😅
@@CliffTheStoryGuy Also love your videos man! Nice job!
Ayo new exploit!!??
@@ayoutubewatcher2437 i just realies thats groose on your pfp ss is my favorite zelda game
What's the craziest thing you have ever done on the Sea of Thieves?
Hi cliff 👋🏻
stealing an athena without getting caught !
Deckshot right in the middle of a gally playing shanties and emoting. Totally accidental
Soo me and my crew we on a brig ran in a keg and our boat launched in the air and I las in the bottom deck and it was wild
Tucking on a FoF, stealing the Athena, attacking brig attacked the one I was tucking on. Sailed away, sold the Athena while laughing.
I think that they added higher chances for the ancient skellies, i got him too, i bet im not the only one
Definitely caught me by surprise lmao
didn't even know they existed tbh
@@thunder2980 I got it like 5 times
Definitely, I think they upped the spawns because of them giving away free ancient coins in the battle pass. I have been playing for over two years and had never seen one that whole time until they added the battle pass. I have now got like 4-6
@@cloggedpizza239 i got one on my first day on the seas from sheer chance, 1 on a random day solo slooping, 2 on 1 day in season 1, and 2 on one day this season, it honestly feels like the spawn rate is different for each person, theres apparently some one who has found 10 the last time i heard
“You see that fine vessel over there Brandon? That will be our ship for the day.”
This is the start of a very very very bad idea
As soon as it was announced you just knew the cannon rowboat was gonna lead to incredible shenanigans. Next step is to sink some other players with one, it's obviously very challenging but hilarious and absolutely golden content when you succeed.
I feel like that's one of those things where if you try to do it really hard, it's never gonna happen. But it'll be even more magical if it happens by.. Happenstance
@@CliffTheStoryGuy yeah but honestly that's how most things in sea of thieves go
I love Sea of Thieves content creation that isn't based on server hopping. Keep up the good work!
I completely agree, there is so much hopping, tucking and FotD-ing out there that simply watching someone go on an adventure and see what happens is extremely refreshing.
can I get some elaboration on "content creation"?

I’ve just got back into the game because of you, you make the game look so much more fun and I enjoy watching you while I’m Sailing the seas 🏴☠️
I honestly am not even mad about how you handled the situation and ended that tale. I'd have the same mindset of teaching them a lesson LOL. Well done, amazing punishment, might use that method on my own at some point.
Glad I discovered your channel! I just recently began playing again and your videos are both funny and inspirational.
Welcome aboard!
Great vid as always :)
I tink Rare uped the spawn rate of the Acient Skeletons. I had 2 encountes recently🤔
One time also at a Sea Fort and a Phantom killed it, denying me my Acient Coins...
That's one rich phantom now..
SAME
All I know about this game I learned from you, I don't play it, but it's still very entertaining. Keep up the good work, Cliff, this is very fun to watch.
And yeah, "calming" rude people this way is too fun.
You ran into more ancient skeletons on this one session than I have run into in my almost 500 hours playing SoT. I did once get one on Tribute Peak, though.
did they not realise you had no ship and you sank them twice without dying 😂😂 thats amazing
Wow. I never enjoy Sea Of Thieves content. Except for your’s! Your SOT videos are the best!
😳 That's a big compliment, thank you
The fact you dug up two more sorrow chests on the SAME island after worrying about one being annoying is insane.
I've always loved the rowboats in this game. Great video!
Also I love that you sailed the key into the Red, I so often do the same when I am accosted by a larger and/or better attacking force. It's why I love the Brigantine, it's not great for solo pvping, but its indubitably excellent as a solo Runner. Being as it's faster than the sloop in 3/4ths of wind direction and faster than the Gally 2/4ths of wind directions making it great for running. One of those directions is also wind from behind-at-an-angle. The sloop's fastest speed is the fastest of the Slowest, making it a higher likelihood that while running the wind direction will change and making it harder to get off-map before you are chased down.
The Brig's behind-at-an-angle advantage gives it more speed while escaping, it's size is a bit annoying but not impossible at all for a solo, and it's 2/4ths of the time being faster advantage over the Gally makes it the best runner for a solo who is 100% dedicated to running from pvp. Also makes it great for sailing into the Red and giving them all a big middle finger on the way down. Considering I find some of the best pvp'ers to be Sloopers, and it's faster in every single wind direction except straight on against, it's my by-far favorite. Though I do love the sloop's small size, simplicity, and relaxing nature. Just wish it had some speed!
I would love the grand privilege to set sail, or row a boat alongside you and your crew, this type of adventuring and what if ing is what got me into this game :D
seriously started watching your channel like 5 days ago and I already can't wait for the next vid. Keep up the amazing work!
I honestly enjoy these videos! Continue with the great content, it’s like a movie. SEA OF TALES ROCK! Also you got me back into the game, and never have I been more happy to see someone upload.
I'm thinking of getting this game and mostly playing alone, so it's good to know that the small ship is the best and only ship I will ever need. Thanks for this helpful guide!
POV: actually good RUclipsr with no clickbait, consistent upload schedule, and Amazing content
LOL! I like people like you in these games. Watching you all take these people down a peg, makes me smile. Glad I found a good channel to watch. Oh, the entertainment begins!
Keep up the great work, really been enjoying all of your video's! Also nothing is as sweet as denying a toxic pirate his chance to get loot :D
it still shocks me how you got 3 ancient skellys in one session, i only found them out recently to exist and been trying to encounter one the past month but sadly none yet, actually ever since i first started playing a year ago, and your SOT content is really enjoyable since i discovered your channel
Coming up on 100 hours and I have yet to see a single ancient skeletons
1 year later did you ever find one?
@@GoofyCheese624 A couple though they were during events which increased their spawn rates
The good old days of PvP. "This is no longer my prime objective; teaching these guys a lesson is."
I'd love to see a galleon crew on a rowboat playthrough
Same. It would be interesting to see how a large crew operates and communicates on a single harpoon boat, cannon boat, or a combination of two of them.
Sheeeesh 3 ancient skeletons in one session is wild! My buddy and I got 2 during one Ashen Winds event once, but this is next level. It does make sense... the only way to spawn them is to spend time on islands/forts, and you did a lot of that! GG!
You really deserve to become a sot partner, dude. Keep going!
What are even the benefits of becoming an SoT Partner?
@@CliffTheStoryGuy early access to future content, drops in ancient coins and rare cosmetics for you and your followers, invites to in game events, commercial priviliges and so on. It's one of the ultimate goals for sot content creators because you can gain a lot more followers and visibility for your channel. You can also gain a much more larger access to commercial parternships. And since your content is actually fresh, entertaining and different from others, it should be a piece of cake for you! ;)
@@alessioorru7455 Thanks for the info!
The feeling of joy I have when I see you new video pop up in my notifications is truly wonderful
Keep on the grind man! You’re growing your channel super fast!
speaking of the grind how did he get the loot on top of the sea fort, every time I tried it the key wouldn't work
I think this is the video where Cliff gets stuck on an island and tries to cook some food up on a campfire but a storm comes in and shuts him down. In the video, Cliff gives up on the idea - but it is actually possible to cook on a campfire in a storm. The fire goes out a moment after you light it with the torch but you get about 2~3 seconds worth of cook time. For your standard meat, it takes about two minutes instead of the usual 65s - and you'll have to relight the fire about 20x - but you will have a cooked piece of meat afterwards.
BEST sea of thieves youtuber watched all the videos over and over
I love how you handled those guys. Putting what they wanted so bad out of their reach is just beautiful.
You deserve SO MUCH more subscribers and views than you currently have… imma share your YT channel on the official sea of thieves discord, my g. Please keep up the awesome content!
Ooo nice ironsight, what pistol is this? 10:10
Also WICKED you had three of those skeles spawn. You're like a modern Jack Sparrow with this rowboat idea and actually doing it well lmaooo

Now, when I say this I in no way mean to be rude... for me this is old hat. For a very long time I have been rowing around without a ship for the same perks that you mentioned in this video and yes, I have completed forts while doing so. That being said, I seriously enjoyed watching you discover the thrill of pirating via rowboat and enjoyed it immensely when you trashed those rabid, toxic, sore losers time and time again only to drive the nail in their metaphorical coffin by dumping the key. Priceless! 😆
This video was glorious, my hats off to you my man
3:55 ah yes, the philosophy of sea of theives: rare giveth, rare taketh.
Holy shit 3 ancient skellys tho, havent found one and been playing since release with bigger or smaller breaks...
Maybe the rowboat is the key to finding them 😅
@@CliffTheStoryGuy for real 🤣
The fact people can spawn back and keep returning non stop is why I think they need to implement more ways to combat this kind of behavior. Like your ship taking longer to spawn. The ship respawning with some hefty damage that takes time to repair. Or a Notification after being sunk a few times that moves you to another Server.
As it stands, it's too easy for people to keep coming back again and again till you finally lose.
Its so nice watching this channel grow congrats Cliff

Bro u are quickly becoming my favorite content creator love your style man keep it up and u got a long time supporter with me.
Once me and my friend got attacked by a kraken after looting a fort of fortune and rowboated all the way to a outpost through a storm and survived getting attacked by a galleon
you and captain falcore are the sea of thieves youtubers i live for
This guy deserves so many more subs.
Working on it!
I regularly do "rowboat" only days. It really helps you to value your health and change your decision making. I sunk a brig and 2 sloop reaper alliance with a rowboat. They chased me to an island and I killed them with turrets and kegs.
for the ancient skeletons, i feel like it would be better to slice instead of dash, more dps, right?
Not sure tbh
angry doublegunner sounds
Speaking as a person who regularily Rowboats the Devil's Roar, I approve.
absolutely love it, keep it up
Glad you enjoy it!
I once baited a big into the red sea with my friend on a sloop, we knew to turn around in time they did not :)
Apparently one can keep the sloop afloat even if it has max holes, you just need one person on buckets and one on the helm sometimes needs to help (we where out of planks)
yep that last group is why I will never buy Sea of Thieves
I am jokeing ofc
I love how goofy me and my buddy look trying to ride the rowboats. Definitely takes some getting use to. Another reason I love the harpoon one, just pull my tail in
Coming back to watch this adventure reminds of the time I was trying to fully complete Stars of a Thief but kept getting bullied by galleons so I said screw it and did the whole thing in a rowboat just to avoid being seen. Was tedios, but still kinda fun in a way
I have watched 3 videos total about this game and it looks like an amazing time.
4:04 trying to build a crying powered jet engine
I found this video after getting sunk hunting a ship for raiding an alliance member, taking the rowboat with my crews supplies, chasing the fight, watching our alliance sloop get dunked, before picking up the forgotten emissary flag and notebook and rowing from sea dogs arena to reapers hideout and cashing in both.
It was an....interesting experience....oh. and all this happened 5 minutes before I typed this.
Gunpowder barrel skeletons don’t spawn holding the barrel. They spawn, then they quickly bend down and pull one up from the ground. I’ve died because I swung my sword at what appeared to be a regular skeleton that spawned, but was shocked when it suddenly hoisted up a powder keg into my incoming sword.
Really enjoying these nice long videos you produce, always fun to watch and listen to

A week can feel very long when one awaits the arrival of brand new content
I have LOVED doing rowboat only and swim till you find a rowboat then rowboat only challenges. Got some of my most memorable moments that way. Like rowing alongside one of flamehearts fleet (when they were still here) to hide behind the ghost galleon to sneak up on a sloop and got a double keg on them and got my rowboat clear too!
13:20 "It's not about the money, it's about sending a message." 14:56
Ok so now I really want Rare to add a rare (lol) tiny sailboat the size of a rowboat so that challenges like this are more feasible. Like. Imagine it has a sail that can hardly be turned and can't be lowered, and the only thing close to an anchor it has is a mounted harpoon. It would be so much easier to transport loot around islands, but also this kind of challenge would be even more interesting, since if it had a harpoon it couldn't have a cannon. Like.... wouldn't that be cool?? you could sail around on your dinky little skiff lol
Uploading this often with it being a good video idea and funny? This man is a legend
Funny? 😳
I'm not gonna lie the row boat definitely is like the only ship you need the problems is navigation if your not very familiar with the map and number 2 is no way of defense and number 3 is simply the fact of speed other than that its actually not a bad boat to have I mean like it saved me on a couple of skirmishes on events so overall this video is a great example
Lol this reminds me of sailing half way across the sea in a rowboat full of our loot because our teammates decided to anchor in the middle of a galleon skele crew attacking us.
0:41 that oh thats going to be miserable hahahahah too good
At first I was a bit sad that you weren't cashing things in, but when I realized you were purely doing this for the adventure (and also to screw over toxic players) I loved it
What a way to show up those salty sailors. Keep up the good content!
I love this! Definitely something I wouldn't recommend, but it's pretty fun! A long time ago I managed to capture and deliver a reapers chest with my friend using just a rowboat to see if it could be done.
I love the pirate spirit in this video, defeated the fort, and then sank the key ahhahahah
Ah man i love how you pissed those guys of and even dragged the key to the end of the world🤣
Absolut chad
Omg I love the My Hero Academia: High Seas edition but you needed to use a Selki reference 😂😂😂😂
This is why i watch cliff, doing the dumbest stuff and being able to get away with, absolute legend
I sank a brig with this rowboat after following them for 10 squares. The crew was parked at an outpost and were busy turning in loot. Here I came rowing up with 6 ballast balls and 40 cannon balls. They were so pissed lol.
These videos to me are so much better than watching one person take on 7 ships at once, uploading the same thing every other day. Your videos make me excited to get off of work on Tuesdays to get on and play
I remember the first time I did an ashen winds event, two ancient skeletons spawned during the fight! I had no idea how lucky I was at the time 😂
