Hi Puplader & welcome aboard!"
Probably your two best bets are the forthcoming games East India Company and Empire Total War which will both cover the Napoleonic war at sea. I'm not sure how much simulation they will offer but they both sound like great detail orientated games.

If you are desperate for something straightaway you could search the bargain bins for older games like "Age of Sail: Privateers Bounty" or even further back "Man of War II", "Wooden Ships and Iron Men" and if you fancy pure strategy try Salvo a demo is available here. On the MMO front "Pirates of the Burning Sea" allows you to play as a naval officer, although its quite an expensive option. Check out the "Pirates" section in the Other Naval Games section for more age of sail titles.
