No I don't think so, I catch heaps of them whenever I get caught in a storm, sometimes even 2 in a single night if I'm quick with the harpoon but they do spawn a fair bit.

Sounds like you are looking for them at the right times, but not having any luck. Just keep sailing around til you find them, and make sure when you look at your map, it is ''Ocean'' biome, otherwise they won't spawn in shallow water.

Yep, we made sure to specifically stick to the Ocean biome, we went out of our way to go for storms and that weird darkness that sometimes overtakes part of the map.

hmm... i suppose we've just had a weird and extreme stroke of terrible luck, in that case, because i swear i used 3x3 food buffs and had them all time out without seeing a single sea serpent.

Also optional I usually stick 3 sorts of stamina foods in the boats cargo hold, so I can quickly gulp down some stamina food in a hurry if I need to, helps after harpooning the serpent, and keeping it on the rope. Stick to the best 3 stamina foods you have access to.

Are you constantly moving? Grab a tail wind at night - during a storm is better still - and just keep going. Keep an eye out, chances are at speed they won't agro, or at least won't catch up.

They do aggro at speed. I typically sail around them if at full wind, I can circle them if the wind is just right, & cruise back to paddle speed so as to let the Serpent keep up with me temporarily, until it begins the chase animation, then simply speed up again, harpoon about 50 feet or so from shore, while alternating ship speeds to allow continued aggro of Serpent.

Bonus points for hapooning the Serpent to some tame wolves on the shoreline who can then proceed to tear the defenceless Serpent apart in a matter of seconds.
