I know i'm late but I just reinstalled Age of Booty on Linux with Steamplay/Proton 4.11 and it works almost perfectly. You are welcomed by a white window: click a few times inside and wait about 10 seconds, then the main menu appears. Alt+Enter to go fullscreen. I activated securom with the CD Key provided by steam.
And multiplayer works too !! (I only tried on LAN, but it should work also over internet if you open the right ports)
You need a "gamespy" server/emulator like this : http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/gs_login_server.zip
There are a windows exe and the source code, very easy to compile for linux (all is well explained in gs_login_server.txt)

i think its best to just pirate it now. I cant find a reasonably priced copy. £25 is the lowest ive found.

Maybe legit steam owners would be happy to know that multiplayer still works :)
