As you begin your game, your main goals will be to gain money to increase your fleet, and gain reputation with one of the four nations in the area to attain the final goal of becoming Governor. Thankfully, controlling such a vast fleet of ships isn't quite as confusing as you might think, but will take a little bit of time to get used to, but I'll get more into that in a second. An armada of 100 ships for a merchant and hopefully a Governor (which is as high as you can go) isn't too shabby. Eventually, if the game progresses far enough, you'll be able to have 10 convoys of 10 ships each. This one ship will be the beginning of your dynasty that could take a long time to finish. There are choices as to what kind of ship you'll begin with and how much money as well.
Each game begins with one ship and a sum of money. Of course, depending on which nation you choose to be a part of for each of these periods, you'll have a different difficulty level depending on how powerful your nation is at the time. Each player will be able to start at any point in this history as the ownership of many towns will be different and the presence of each of the four nations will be in different proportions.
The game plays out from 16th century when the Spanish were largely in control of the area until the English, French, and Dutch had begun to take more control over the area in the 17th century and begun kicking the Spanish out a bit more. Port Royale brings players into the heart of the high times of the Carribean and Gulf of Mexico, when the major European nations had begun colonizing the area as fast as possible and little towns and forts were springing up all over the little islands and coastlines of that sea.
