Yo!
I'm leading a pirate-themed campaign and the party has managed to acquire a boat for themselves.
I'd like to see their ship-to-ship combat skills improve but at the same time, that's a pretty specific niche to devote character resources like feats/talents/gear etc.
So I was thinking that over time, I could award individual PCs a bonus feat to help run a better ship.
My only example so far is that someone has expressed interest in equipping the vessel with canons - so I may grant them the Exotic Weapon Proficiency needed to make that work.
What other feats do you suggest? I'm looking for the ones that are neat, and would be good to have but normally don't get chosen because they're just too specific.
Thanks!

Sea Legs is a simple, pirate-y feat that could help out.
The captain of the ship will probably need a decent Profession (Sailor) skill, so you could throw out a free Skill Focus for them.
Look at the Skull and Shackles Campaign for more ideas about this.
That said, the feat Expert Driver is actually pretty damn good feat for it.
Awesome!
Expert Driver is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Something to give the PC that grants a bonus/benefit to the whole ship during ship-to-ship combat.
Great suggestions, thanks

If you don't mind third party products, Fire As She Bears has some useful shipboard feats.
You could award some of the class abilities from the Legendary Captain prestige class found in the 3.5 Edition Stormwrack sourcebook as bonus feats. That book also has some useful feats.
