Pirate Gulliver, also known as Gullivarrr, is an NPC that players can interact with to get some interesting items. He is a sailor who is lost and he will show up on your island’s beach. When you talk to him, Gullivarrr will tell you all about his problem. Want to know about this in detail? Then keep reading this guide on Pirate Gulliver in ACNH.

If you have met the regular Gulliver previously, you will know that he will be found washed up on your beach fast asleep. But to actually meet Pirate Gulliver, you need to purchase a wet suit first. Why? Because the task that he will give you next requires you to take a dip in the ocean.
So, once you do that and see him, wake him up and talk. He will inform you that he needs to find a Communicator (in hilarious Pirate-style sentences). You need to only find one Communicator to complete this little quest.
How To Find The Communicator
The Communicator will be on the ocean floor so you need to begin swimming and look for it. If you see bubbles coming out from a certain area, head towards it and dive by pressing Y. The shadow of this object will not move so if you see something like it, that might just be the Communicator. In case you don’t find it on your first attempt, keep trying. Its location is random every time.
Got the Communicator? Now, meet Pirate Gulliver where you saw him before and talk to him. Select ‘Yarrr!’ for ‘yes’ and give it to him. Thanks to your help, he can now contact his crew. Pirate Gulliver will promise to send you a reward for this kind gesture via mail.
One important thing to note is that if your inventory is full, the Communicator will not spawn. Therefore take care of this before heading into the ocean.
