The Castaway's Chest is a type of Treasure Chest in Sea of Thieves. Treasure Chests are locked, with locks that can only be opened by Skeleton Keys. These keys are held by Gold Hoarders, which can be found on any Outpost. They are willing to buy these chests for a fraction of their worth. There are two other variants, being the Ashen Castaway's Chest, which is found in the Devil's Roar, and Shipwrecked Castaway's Chests, found in shipwrecks or in the shallows of small islands.

A Shipwrecked Castaway's Chest.

Notes

• Picking up and placing Treasure Chests on a Ship for the first time gives Emissary Grade Reputation to Trading Company Emissaries representing the Gold Hoarders or Reaper's Bones.
• Shipwrecked versions of Treasure Chests have the same value as regular Treasure Chests, but count for a different Gold Hoarders Commendation. The only difference is visual, only showing up as "Shipwrecked" when sold.
• There is an Ashen version of this Chest, worth roughly double the regular Chest, which can be commonly uncovered from Ashen Treasure Maps or found in The Devil's Roar Region, but it is not limited to these sources.
• All Treasure Chests emit a white glint from a distance.
• Treasure Chests can be caught with a Harpoon.
