Prepare to embark on a new adventure as Lego introduces Captain Jack Sparrow`s legendary pirate ship, often referred to as the Black Pearl, into its prestigious Lego Icons collection. This highly anticipated set, priced at $380, is scheduled for release on September 15. Members of Lego`s free rewards program will have exclusive early access, able to purchase the set starting September 12. As an added bonus, those who preorder between September 12 and 18 will receive a Lego replica of Jack Sparrow`s iconic compass as a free gift.
This impressive 2,862-piece model, one of the fastest vessels in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, promises an immersive building experience. Once fully constructed, `Captain Jack Sparrow`s Ship` measures 64cm (25 inches) in both height and length. The set comes complete with a crew of beloved minifigures, including Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Gibbs, Cotton, Anamaria, Marty, Elizabeth Swann, and Hector Barbossa. Builders will delight in the interactive features, such as a functional wheel and rudder system, rotatable dials to position the port and starboard cannons, and intricately designed interior sections. The ship can even be split at the waterline, revealing the captain`s quarters and crew compartments, and includes film-accurate accessories like one of the cursed gold pieces that were a focal point of the first Pirates movie.
This new iteration marks a significant upgrade from the original 2011 Lego Black Pearl. The 2025 version is notably larger and far more detailed, capable of accommodating minifigures, a feature not present in its predecessor. Curiously, Lego has chosen to label the set as `Captain Jack Sparrow`s Ship` rather than `The Black Pearl` on its packaging and promotional materials, perhaps emphasizing its iconic association with the charismatic pirate.

Real-World Inspired Lego Ships
For those interested in ships grounded in real-world history and design, Lego offers two impressive kits: the River Steamboat and The Endurance.
The River Steamboat is a grand 4,090-piece set, priced at $330, meticulously designed as a tribute to the classic 19th-century paddle steamers. Once assembled, this magnificent vessel stretches 69cm (27 inches) long, featuring a fully operational wheelhouse with a working steering wheel that controls the rudder. It comes with all necessary components for an elegant display.
The Endurance, a replica of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s trailblazing vessel, tragically sank in 1915 after being trapped in Antarctic ice. This 3,011-piece Lego set, available for $270, honors the ship`s legend and its crew`s resilience. Measuring an impressive 80cm (32 inches) in length when complete, this display model boasts three masts, ten full sails, a flying Red Ensign flag, and an intricate rigging system.
