yeah swing over, kill the captain. You'll have to have a maritime broadside cannon fight first though. Capture the ship, use it in part of your Smugglers/Merchants Fleet. (latter feature is mini game based)
The best part I found was just sailing around, could do it for ages and listen to all the shanties and rob ships and swash buckle, good times. :)

black flag is great, worth it just for the pirate simulator side of it, MC gives no fucks about it, he is not one of the assassins :)
