How It Works

Contestants board the Picton Castle pirate ship and set sail near the Carribbean island of Dominica. The contestants are divided into two teams and must use clues to find a hidden treasure. Each week, one player is eliminated. The person who finds the final treasure is declared the winner.

Canceled

Pirate Master received low ratings and lost viewers on a weekly basis, causing the show to be canceled after airing only eight of its 14 episodes.² The final six episodes aired online on CBS Innertube.
