Stolen Ship!
To start this quest head over to Port Sarim and talk to Klarense.

Klarense: Hi (username) could you possible help me?
You: (Have two choices 1. Sure why not! 2. No im too busy right now.) Sure why not!
Klarense: Ok after i sold the Lady Lumbridge to you i decided to buy another ship so i could continue my work as a merchant. So i bought the Weeping Widow and 1 day i was captured by the infamous Captain Redbeard! He marooned me on Karamja and stole my ship! So could you possibly build a ship and battle Redbeard to get my ship back?
You: Sure danger is my middle name!
Klarense: You have a middle name?
You: Never mind
Getting the planks,Nails and sail

Ok now head over to the Saw Mill near Varrock and get or buy from other players 500 planks. After you have that done you need 1,500 nails ( Three nails per plank) you can buy them or smith them using the Smithing skill. Now go to Port Sarim and kill the Pirate he will drop 1/4 of sail kill him 3 more times to get full sail. Ok to get the cannon you need to go to Doric and i ask him to build you a ship cannon! He says he will do it ob 1 condition you get him 100 iron ore, 200 coal ore and mold for a cannon. Go to the hardwares the dwarven mines and mine and bank 100 iron ore and 200 coal. Now go to to Thurgo to get the mold but don't forget red berry pie and 2,000gp to buy the mold.

Bulding the Ship

Now head back to Klarense and ask him to build you a ship. He builds you a small ship (which you can name)

The Crew

Klarense: Well you can't have a ship if you needn't have any crew right? Here I'll give you the old ship boy from the lady lumbridge, but you still need more crew. Why not hire someone strong and someone wise to help you with this ship? Why not get gunthor the barbarian and sir amik varze to help you?

The Battle

The battle is just like the fishing trawler mini game but with cannons and pirates fighting on your ship. You shoot cannons and fight using swords, etc. You defeat redbeard by blowing the weeping widow and you sail back to shore.

Port Sarim

You go back to Port Sarim and give Klaranse the news about what happened at battle, and tell him about the news about the weeping widow.
Klanranse: Oh well, by the way, since you blew the widow I'm taking this here ship.
You give him the ship and quest complete!

Random Events

-storms: you encounter a storm and go to the bird's nest to scan for nearby islands otherwise you lay anchor and hope for the best ( you could die when laying anchor ) ( you would be stuck on an island for sometime until you find a way to get back to the mainland )
-whales: sometimes you can encounter a whale that you can try to attack and sell whale blubber to the barbarians for 50k. However, whales are hard to kill.
-kraken: if you are unfortunate enough, you can encounter a kraken that is sure to knock your ship off it's planks ( you automatically die losing all items and ship )

Minigames

In Crandor one new mini game will open in the ocean! This mini game has 2 arenas 1 multi and 1 single
1. Here you can stake and battle with other plp. It wll work like duel arena lets say i stake Santa and other person stakes green mask. we get teleported from our ships to the arena in the ocean. To win you and your crew will have to blast your opponents to the bottom of the ocean! Note this is a safe mini game you wont lose anything that you didnt stake. (TO join this mini game you need at least lv60 shipbuilding.
2. will be a wildy but u have to have 95 shipbuilding to enter you battle and lot other persons fleet. When you get to command a fleet (lv95 shipbuilding req) you can join this mini game. This will be like the one above except you fight till your opponents whole fleet sinks! If u die here you you will lose all of your items!

Support this!

Well thought out, although I'm not liking the kraken. Maybe something less lethal? Some rewording here and there and you could submit to Jagex. And you have one incomplete tag.

i really liked the idea it would be really cool but really unlikely. keep up the good work though...

Id prefer horses to ships.

horse building? O.O

To sail n' stuff. Maybe new quests would require you do build a ship and go explore an island.

Doubt it.

I support Lucy's ideas.
It would be cool if you could catch like a kalphite soldier and ride it
Or maybe a giant eagle and fly
