Buy circling them and always stay behind them and shoting them and they cant fire back. Or you can choose to steal and sell the shipment which will give u a 1000 echoes right away but you wont be able to do buisness with him anymore. He also buys sunligth for 400 echoes per box so you might want to keep him on since he close to the cumean canal (where you can get sunlight). Choosing this option will allow you to continue doing so and make 200 echoes each turn. *Choosing to smuggle goods for the shady fellow in London. These are free and you will get 600 when they arrive in london. You need a 200 echo deposit for this one. You will need 20 cargo hold but you can do with less by dropping items (so make sure you have room and wont have to be forced to drop important/expensive items. *Transfer sphinx stone from 'The salt lions' (norht east of london), back to london. And remember planning your trips so you can take as much cargo as possible and sell it on the way! Try to save up as many of these as possible. *Avoid trading away Zee-stories (especially not for your crew!!) and Enigmas for money since they can be used to trade for more important quests and items later in the game. Trade stories or items for extra cash and favours. *Selling things to the scholar or venturer will get you money. You can obtain this ship by doing the cladery heiress quest so I suggest doing this as soon as possible. * Get the cladery heart (a boat with 80 storage and 450 hull) instead of buying a new ship. Dont rush buying a bigger one, save money, do missions and increase your skill set. The small ship will to fine for a large portion of the game. *Dont buy a larger ship until you have more than enough.

*Buy enough fuel/supplies!!! Always buy more than you need unless you want to get stuck in the middle of the ocean! When fuel runs out you can always use supplies to scrape together extra fuel.

*Prioritaze supplies before fuel when buying. When you have more money and a bigger ship. *Wait until later in the game to buy candles/specimens/eloiths and all other expensive or 'hard to get' items. *Accept all quests, even the shady ones, you will need the money and future jobs from these characters. *When you have saved enough, travel further and visit new islands to get more quests. Accept quests and make money or items to sell. Wasting time at sea is the real killer and knowing where to go next and planning your trips/rescourses accordingly will make the journey alot easier. *Taking notes! The game can sometimes be a little unclear on what to do and where to go next.
