I do the same as Crazy Guy. I've been loving the spot off the coasts of Tortuga and Cangrejos. Kingfishers, Man o Wars, Ogres, Monarchs, Revenants and Storm Reapers hang out in this area. I scout a nice spot for the closest one, fire at it in the distance to get its attention, and while its sailing towards me I just keep nailing it. I only use Round Shot, nothing else.

Pretty much every ship gives me at least 100 rep, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, also with the occasional Royal Chest(s). I leveled my cannons from 12 to 17 over the weekend. Although a few times I let them get close, nearly destroyed, and nail them with broadsides just to even things out. But I've rarely had to port before I was full 9/9 on cargo.

Once I'm done with one ship, I'll readjust for the next. If something goes wrong, I have always been able to rush back to one of the two islands and regroup. I do have a regular Frigate however so it will handle a little more damage than a Light Frigate. But like CG said, if they get too close before I've taken them down I'll just move my ship real quick or, again, take them out real quick with broadsides.

I've only ever truly sailed with one person, unfortunately he stopped getting on under the name I know. I've played every bit of this game by myself other than going out with him at least once a night for an hour or so.
