The Monkey Buccaneer is a tower in Bloons Monkey City. It is available to unlock after the player reaches City Level 5.

Monkey Buccaneer is only placeable on water, a trait shared by Monkey Sub. Its main attack is a large dart that pops up to 5 Bloons each. It can pop all visible Bloons except frozen and Lead Bloon. It can be upgraded to shoot grapes and cannonballs, attack significantly quickly, or switch to aircraft-based area denial.
