Despite being sea-centric, the encounters are varied. There's a nice variety of skill challenges, monsters, and obstacles for characters to face. Some of these include new magic items. There's a pirate map, with premade encounters which is a fantastic tool to give to players. I have to say my favorite part of the book is Flotsam. Flotsam is a group of rocks, ships, and wrecks that have been connected via wooden decks. It's a cool addition to any nautical game and gives you an bastion of civilization that you can put anywhere in the endless seas.
With the next official adventure being the Ghosts of Saltmarsh compilation, the Pirate Bundle is a perfect campaign aid. Even if you don't like pirates, this is a great nautical supplement and I recommend it to anyone that wants their D&D games to hit the high seas.
Physical copies are currently only available to Kickstarter backers (like me), but you can grab the pdf here.
