Where to find the map in Sea of Thieves

The map you'll be using to navigate the Sea of Thieves is found onboard your ship, but its location changes slightly depending on the boat:

  • On the sloop it's directly in front of the staircase.
  • On the brig its behind the stairs.
  • On the galleon its on the mid-deck.

Interacting with the map allows you to use it and see the entire world map, and lets you mark locations and importantly, lets you zoom in and out to get more detail.

Some islands are uncharted and cannot be found on the map table. We've left them off the below indexes so you can discover them for yourself, but we discuss them in more detail at the very end of this article.

Uncharted islands in Sea of Thieves explained

Some islands in Sea of Thieves have no name, and won't appear on your map. Much like a sat-nav, it can be dangerous sailing without looking yourself, as you might crash into something the map doesn't know is there.

Below we list three most notable uncharted islands, but with no name, they're just referred to by their co-ordinates by the community.

There might be more out there, but they only appear for story reasons - and saying more would be spoilers...

K9

A small island with a shipwreck and coral reef that are quite pretty.

K11 (Glorious Sea Dog Tavern)

This large stone arch used to sit in the very centre of the map, and inspired a lot of theories as to its purpose. Since the Anniversay Update, the natural formation moved and a tavern was built there for the Sea Dogs, the faction that rules the arena.

There's also a parkour obstacle course that loops around the island, if you feel like stretching your legs after a log voyage.
