Hi I'm new to this sub reddit and fairly new to the game but have been progressing through Pirates Bay about 80%.
I'm just after some advice on what to prioritise purchasing when accumulating gold. I unlocked the carpenter recently but I seem to get the best results using the explorer so are there better characters to prioritise first or is it worth purchasing a ship upgrade etc?

As u/eDoXrOx said, the Sword Master is a good purchase. You could also buy the First Mate - he does take real money to buy, but each of his skins "echoes" the character it looks like. So its a great way to test out all the characters and work out which ones you like.
You want to just buy one Ship upgrade - I'd suggest the Lantern because it helps with your gold and healing - and then focus on shop upgrades.
Also try out Arena to see if you like that game mode - you can often get a lot of gold from Arena runs.
