'Sid Meier's Pirates' (the 2004 version) might be another open-world one to look in to. The sailing simulation isn't really detailed, but if you're looking for a fun (slightly silly) pirate-era game to romp around in I'd definitely recommend it. For an older game there's a fairly nice variety of ships to choose from (pretty much anything from war canoes to war galleons), makes for a bit of variety in playstyle choice.
Similarly another one (which is an online multiplayer game rather than singleplayer) is 'Pirates of the Burning Sea'. I had some fun with that one years ago. Like 'Sid Meier's Pirates' it isn't super historical or deep simulation, but it's a nice way to kill time with a good variety of vessels and open-world style.
