How to get Jack’s Ship in Fortnite

Sail across the skies and sea with a famous ship.

Fortnite is full of fun cosmetic items you can obtain, from Battle Pass-exclusive skins to gliders and wraps you get from event quests. Captain Jack Sparrow’s Ship is a glider introduced during the Fortnite X Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration event, but claiming it requires a lot of questing and patience.

How to get Captain Jack Sparrow’s Ship in Fortnite X Pirates event

Captain Jack Sparrow’s Ship is a glider reward you’ll receive after completing all eight Pirate Code quest sets during Fortnite’s Cursed Sails event. Cursed Sails is a Fortnite X Pirates of the Caribbean event that runs from July 19 to August 6, 2024. However, since each Pirate Code set was released every few days, August 2 is the earliest you can obtain Jack’s Ship.

Why can’t I find Jack’s Ship in my Fortnite locker?

There are multiple reasons why you may not find Jack’s Ship immediately. Before determining if it’s a bug, check your quest list to see if you finished every Pirate Code, including the eighth and final one. It’s easy to miss one or two if you’re trying to complete several at once, so be sure to double-check your list first.

Another issue is that you’re experiencing a bug that prevents you from getting Jack’s Ship despite finishing every quest. If so, you can watch for updates from sources like the official Fortnite Status page. Alternatively, you can contact Customer Support directly to see if they can manually give you Jack’s Ship or walk you through the steps to getting it.
