All fighters battle aboard {{s|zeldawiki|Tetra}}'s cruising ship that slowly passes though the Great Sea; players can freely [[Swimming|swim]] in the water with few major risks beyond the inherent potential of drowning. However, the stage is technically scrolling to the left at almost all times due to the motion of the ship; players standing on the ship will not have their position shifted by the scrolling, but players and items (such as [[Bumper]]s and [[Party Ball]]s) in the air or the water will slowly drift towards the rightmost blast zone. Any player that swims or is dragged into the front of the pirate ship while in the water or is meteor smashed towards the bottom of the back of the ship will take 20% damage and be automatically [[OHKO]]'d via a very powerful [[meteor smash]]. Fighters with [[tether recoveries]] can also be meteor smashed due to their tether reaching out far enough for them to swing towards the water and thus into the front of the ship (this is substantially less likely to happen in ''Ultimate'' due to water now interrupting tether recoveries, causing a player to begin swimming the instant they touch the water, though the aforementioned scrolling might carry a player into the front of the ship anyways if they are do not react in time to swim away or jump out). A smaller boat, the [[King of Red Lions]], occasionally makes an appearance by sailing from the right side of the stage, and acts as a platform that players can stand on; much like the main ship, players standing on the King of Red Lions are not affected by the stage's scrolling. The head of the boat creates a small [[wall]], briefly allowing [[chain grab]]bing in ''Brawl''. However, the King of Red Lions will eventually leave the screen; players that remain for too long on the boat will be carried past the side [[blast line]] as it departs.

This ship is taken from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'', although, like the boat from [[Rainbow Cruise]], it is much smaller, shorter, and narrower. After Link's sister, {{s|zeldawiki|Aryll}}, was kidnapped by the {{s|zeldawiki|Helmaroc King}}, Link sailed to the {{s|zeldawiki|Forsaken Fortress}} on [[Tetra]]'s ship to save her. During the trip, he was challenged by {{s|zeldawiki|Niko}}, a pirate. This ship came back later in the game during the search for the third {{s|zeldawiki|Goddess Pearl}}. The pirates stole bombs on {{s|zeldawiki|Windfall Island}}, intending to get the treasure from Outset Island in the morning unaware of a curse on the sea preventing morning. Link managed to hear the password, and then came back on the ship to be challenged one more time and then get the bombs and beat the pirates to the treasure on Outset. This ship appeared a final time at the end of the game to rescue both Link and Tetra after they defeat [[Ganondorf]]. The ship came back at the beginning and end of ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass}}''. Like in ''Smash'', the ship also has a catapult: it was used in ''The Wind Waker'' to launch a boulder at the Helmaroc King and to launch Link towards the Forsaken Fortress.

Pirate Ship is universally banned in all three of its appearances. There are various hazards that interrupt gameplay such as the catapult on the ship, the bombs that target players, and the front of the ship. Various places also promote [[camping]] such as the King of Red Lions and the rock that appears, and characters with long [[Tether recovery|Tether recoveries]] are heavily nerfed, as their momentum causes them to swing into the ship's hull and get unrecoverably [[Meteor smash|Meteor smashed]]. When stage hazards are turned off in ''Ultimate'', the stage remains banned as the slant on the ship can still block projectiles, and the water disturbs gameplay.

*Pirate Ship is the only ''Brawl'' stage that was available as downloadable content in ''Smash 4'', as well as the only DLC past stage that did not originate from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''

*Unlike in the actual stage, the Pirate Ship's trophy uses its actual model from ''The Wind Waker''.

*In ''Ultimate'', the following [[Assist Trophies]] can only appear on the Battlefield and Omega forms of this stage: [[Nightmare]], [[Kapp'n]], the [[Squid Sisters]] and the [[Ghosts]]. [[Devil]] cannot be summoned on this stage at all. Additionally, [[Marshadow]] can only be summoned on the stage's Battlefield and Omega forms.
