From BoardGameGeek

Cast your sails and embark on a journey to Batam! -a high-seas race with a twist where riches, not speed, wins the day! Featuring exclusive gameplay development by Crafty Games, you're the captain of a scrappy ship, racing to visit four far-flung islands on your way to Batam. To win, you'll need to outsmart your rivals to rake in the most rewards- but here's the twist: You must hire your crew (with bribes, of course), roll your sailors (dice), then assign them to other players' ships -never your own! Outsmart the competition by bumping their best sailors and sabotaging their plans. But watch out - you might get seasick crew that refuses to sail! Navigate the archipelago to drop your markers first, claim island rewards, and charge latecomers for stepping on your turf. Pay your sailors well, manage your moves wisely, and time your return to port just right. First to the bay doesn't win-richest pirate takes the crown! -description from the publisher
