The ghost captain is a ghost on the docks of Port Phasmatys. He takes players to Dragontooth Island free of charge in a small rowboat located in the south eastern area of the dock, just east of the furnace.

He can also be found on Dragontooth Island, and will return players to Port Phasmatys without charge. However, you must have started the Ghosts Ahoy quest and completed the map before he will take you.

As with all ghosts, you must be wearing a ghostspeak amulet obtained from The Restless Ghost quest in order to understand and converse with him, unless you have completed the hard Morytania achievements.

Trivia

• Until an update on 10 August 2010, he did not have a quick-sail option, like many other transportation methods such as Trader Stan's ships and Gnome Gliders. This was likely because of the opportunity to charm him using the ring of charos to lower the price of the trip.
• Prior to 20 August 2013, there was a payment of 25 ecto-tokens for a trip to Dragontooth Island (10 if the player charmed the ghost captain with an activated ring of charos).
