Easy answer. Everyone in your guild can teleport to you without being on your friends list. Disney forgot to tell us about this great but sometimes annoying feature on the "Game News" section...

Oi. The Kraken used it's powers and helped ye HEH HEH HEH

We could atleast have a boot option with a plank where a cutscene happens when you walk them off the plank They fall into the water and swim toward the nearest Wild Island or Main Island

The person was not in my guild, though.

I think the other posts hit the nail on the head. I guess my proximity and "go to" allowed the person on my ship without my knowing. I did sail to Kingshead and he was promptly sent to prison.

Good for you!

Quite a few of us have been complaining about this for awhile now. I've even gone so far as to call PotCO to register my disatisfaction with this "feature".

Back in the Release Notes of Jan. 18, they wrote:

Removed avatar panel pop-up that occurred when clicking on other ships. This was allowing people to teleport to another player's ship even if they were not friends, crew mates, or Guild mates.

That still hasn't solved the problem, however.
