Can You Quick Turn in Skull and Bones?

You Cannot Quick Turn Your Ship

You cannot quick turn your ship. You'll have to manually maneuver it towards the right direction. Lowering your ship's speed can help you maneuver and turn. However, only consider this when you are out of combat. You will be an easier target to hit if you stop abruptly.

UI Icon to determine ship speed and direction of wind

Your ship will always be at the mercy of the wind. Take note of your current speed and the wind's direction by looking at the icon at the bottom right of your screen while sailing. If you're going against the wind, you move slower on water.

Use Ship Cameras to Scout Paths Ahead

Although you cannot Quick Turn, you can plan your route ahead in the sea. Your ship has multiple camera views to help you scout and navigate:

Camera View	Description
Primary Camera	Default Camera View. Useful general view for your surroundings
Crow's Nest	Camera View at the top of your ship. Useful for scouting ahead with your Spyglass.
Rear Camera	Camera view behind your ship. Useful for checking if you are being chased.
Captain's Camera	Immersive camera view of your ship's deck.

We recommend placing these camera views on your wheel menu to have an easier time swithching between cameras.
