“The Royal Flagship” by JFischer
Parts: 3,997 | Minifigures: 8 | Stickers: 1
Length: 98 cm / 36.6 in | Height: 62 cm / 24.4 in | Weight: 3.35 kg / 7.39 lbs
The Royal Flagship glides from the harbor, its hull bristling with cannons, sails billowing in the wind.
It’s about time the BrickLink Designer Program delivered us a ship!
jfischer writes:
As a long time age-of-sail enthusiast and LEGO ship builder, my focus in this entry was to come up with a design for a two-deck ship-of-the-line with the given 4000 part limitation. Furthermore, its interior should be fairly accessible, and the whole ship should feature a relatively realistic rigging that provides decent stability.
“Forgotten Islands” by One_eyeChristos
Parts: 1,282 | Minifigures: 2
Forgotten by men, forgotten by gods, forgotten in time…the strike of the imperial armada was fierce…two survivors…are there more? We may never know…
Remember the Indigo Islanders?
One_eyeChristos writes:
The set consists of the two islands, the hanging bridge (which can be easily detached to create two independent islands) and the wooden pirate raft. On the eastern island a ruined ancient sanctuary in which the sacred fire still burns.
“Sharkfang Outpost” by Piratecaptain85
Parts: 1,318 | Minifigures: 4
Welcome to Sharkfang Outpost, a small fishing port where the pirates have decided to settle and claim for their own.
Shark with fangs included
Piratecaptain85 writes:
The main two storey building has a kitchen and balcony area on the ground floor where the chef prepares fresh fish, and the cats try to steal it..On the first floor is a bedroom with two beds for weary pirates or fisherman should they require it.
The second floor is the office of the resident pirate captain who has claimed it for himself, it also doubles as an excellent lookout.

“The Pineapple Breeze” by Brickish_water
Parts: 535 | Minifigures: 2
Let’s have some mocktails at The Pineapple Breeze! This relaxing bar is hidden somewhere in the Caribbean and is a secret favorite among pirates, sailors, and seafaring adventurers.
Yarrr ha ha! Mocktails! Where’s the rum?
brickish_water writes:
There’s so much to choose from on the brick-built drink menu. Of course, all mocktails are made with only the freshest ingredients – after all, the pineapples grow right in front of the bar! The jolly and ever-friendly bartender may have been a pirate in another life, but these days, the only thing he wants to steal is a smile from your face.
“The Pirate Outpost” by BoberTheKaiGuy
Parts: 942 | Minifigures: 3
Height:32 cm / 12.5 in
Welcome to The Pirate Outpost!
Ready to stay here as a full-on pirate? Well, you already know where the gold is, so there is only one answer to that question.
Spot the souvenirs!
BoberTheKaiGuy writes:
Anyway, let me tell you more about this place. Here, in The Pirate Outpost, the pirates hide and protect all of their… let’s call it “souvenirs.” The cave under the island serves as a perfect stash while the makeshift watchtower and its flag scare nearby ships. The whole place is managed by a crew of three pirates, and let’s just say that you wouldn’t want them to get angry at you.
“Return Of The Ghost Ship” by Jacobhorn
Parts: 1,318 | Minifigures: 3
Rising from the deep, a ship long lost to the sea makes a horrific return. This decrepit ship appears adorned in seaweed from the lowest depths.
Improved version with a new crew member!
Jacobhorn writes:
Two years ago when I first submitted to the Bricklink Designer Program I submitted a pirate ship helmed by a skeletal crew, a very basic version of this iteration. Over the past two years I’ve learned so much from working in Stud.io and looking over so many impressive submissions. I truly do not think I would have improved this much if it weren’t for the supportive community here, sharing their unique designs and critiques!
“Buccaneer’s Bluff” by Pirateshipbuild
Parts: 1,460 | Minifigures: 4
Somewhere in the Caribbean sits an island inhabited by pirates who smuggle goods from the British ports and get rich….That island is called Buccaneer’s Bluff.
You’re bluffing, right?
Pirateshipbuild writes:
When I began designing this island, I knew I wanted to create a unique sea around it and immediately began crafting beautiful waves out of the available parts. Soon I had created a full circle of sea around my base and needed to build the island. I thought about what I wanted the island to look like and decided it would have a cave, jagged, steep cliffs, and a little light tower on a peak.
“The Libertalia Fortress” by IamWhatIam
Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 4
Nestled within the cliffs of Libertalia, the pirate fortress stands as a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Made of solid stone, it’s a place of defiance against the empires of the world.
It’s not a tourist attraction this time
IamWhatIam writes:
In the heart of the fortress, a Fountain provides fresh water, offering a peaceful spot amid the pirate chaos. A Ramp leads to the second floor, where the Captain’s Office resides. The bell atop the office rings when it’s time to act. The fortress is armed with two Cannons and a Mortar, ready for battle at any moment. These weapons make the fortress nearly impenetrable, ensuring the crew’s safety.
“Privateer Frigate Fortuna” by BrickPerfection
Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 10
Length: 81 cm / 31.9 in | Width: 29 cm / 11.5 in | Height: 62 cm / 24.4 in
Fortuna is a fast sailing frigate designed as a Privateer – a government-commissioned vessel tasked with hunting pirate ships or, deceptively, becoming one. As a true frigate, Fortuna is equipped with 20 cannons and 2 swivel guns.
The Fortuna has undergone some changes over the series
BrickPerfection writes:
This set introduces the unpredictable Privateers to the LEGO Pirates theme, capable of aligning with any faction or pursuing their own adventures. Fortuna includes 12 Minifigures, a striking figurehead, and a small cat to protect supplies from rats.
“Adventure on Tapu Island” by Marooned_Marin
Parts: 1,878 | Minifigures: 5
Width: 34 cm / 13.4 in | Width: 40 cm / 15.75 in | Height: 17.8 cm / 7 in
Having read the scary Pirate story, about the local “allegedly cursed” island, a grandpa and his grandson indulge in a harmless pirate role-play on the very same island.
Be sure to read the Tapu Island post
Marooned_Marin writes:
Thanks to the modular approach, rearrange the sections in a different way and get two islands instead of one. Other ways of reconfiguration possible! Discover the sacred altar, jail cell, and treasure, waterfall with the secret entrance to the hidden cave, two wannabe pirates and three cursed skeletons to inspire action-packed stories.
“Anchor Cove Imperials Shipyard” by DelusionB
Parts: 3,152 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 8
In the bustling port of Port Royal, the crown jewel of the Imperial Navy, lies the newly constructed Imperial Shipyard a place where dreams of conquering the high seas are built plank by plank.
This is how to make an Imperial design now Soldiers are no longer in the palette
DelusionB writes:
Good evening to all pirate fans and beyond.
My effort to design a new Imperial set led me to come up with an idea for a shipyard set, something that has not existed until today.
“Scalawag Sloop” by Sam2XD
Parts: 575 | Minifigures: 2 | Stickers: 2
The scurvy scalawags are back with their small sloop to loot merchants, raid blue coats or resupply Jose’s Inn!
Learn the exciting origins of the Scalawag Sloop
Sam2XD writes:
Inspired by classic sets like the Renegade Runner (6268) and the Cross Bone Clipper (6250), this BDP model offers an exciting small build to flesh out the harbors of Tortuga, Barracuda Bay, or Eldorado.
“The Lost Island” by BRICKUP_
Parts: 3,179 | Minifigures: 1 | Stickers: 2
An island lost in the far ocean, a safe haven where you can live without worries and in contact with nature…
A nice fishing shack
BRICKUP_ writes:
Here is the home of Bob Seven, this adventurer who landed many years ago on this little island, where he built, year after year, his secret refuge!
Bob loves spending his days on the pier, breathing in the atmosphere and sensations of the ocean.
“Wolf Pirates” by SevenDeadly
Parts: 905 | Minifigures: 1 | Stickers: 7
The Wolf Pirates are led by a fearsome captain by the name of Fang. He is accompanied by his two dogs (who are wolves at heart) and his first-mate Coral Seaweed.
When two classic themes meet
SevenDeadly writes:
I am a huge fan of both Pirate and Castle LEGO themes so it only felt natural to combine them into my latest BDP entry – Wolf Pirates!
I built a cog-ship style medieval vessel for the Wolf Pirates and I built a Viking style longboat for the Forest Wizard.
Many Thanks

Yer’ll be able to buy this!
The price and final details have not been yet been released but expect these to be officially announced in the near future.
The Debate
Some fans don’t consider BrickLink Designer sets to be official LEGO sets!
Little more than fan creations lucky enough to enjoy a brief production run.
Meanwhile, others fans believe they are official sets!
So they may be fan creations… but the sets are manufactured in the official LEGO factory, so that makes them an official product, right?
