A bench is conveniently located near the steering wheel. In the anime, the lever was shown being used for the buildup of cola energy in the Energy Room, and upon completion, the user at the helm pulls the lever to activate the Coup de Burst. The lever not only operates the compartments for the Soldier Dock System, but also doubles as the lever that initiates the Coup de Burst. A knob allows one to choose which compartments to position at the opening on the side of the ship, and a lever situated next to the wheel can then be used to open the compartments. The controls for the Soldier Dock System are located on the steering wheel itself. Unlike the conventional steering wheels found on traditional sailing ships, the position of the Sunny's steering wheel resembles those found on modern ships. The Thousand Sunny's helm is located at the front of the ship. The mouth of the figurehead can open in order to reveal the Gaon Cannon for frontal attacks, and the lion's mane can rotate like a propeller to move the ship backwards if needed. The figurehead of the Thousand Sunny is a large lion face with two crossbones behind it in the manner of a Jolly Roger. Thousand Sunny's figurehead, helm, and anchors.

In Volume 46 of the manga, a complete set of blueprints of the Thousand Sunny was given in the same fashion as the Going Merry's.

By the admission of Jinbe, a masterful helmsman, the Thousand Sunny is a good ship, which Franky admitted that Jinbe was the best candidate to bring out the ship's full potential after hearing of his talent as a helmsman. The ship holds sixteen cannons: seven traditional cannons on each side of the ship and two specialized air cannons-the Gaon Cannon in the figurehead and the Coup de Burst cannon astern. Due to the mane's ambiguity, the lion was mistaken for both a sunflower and a sun during the ship's construction, much to Franky's frustration. Like the Going Merry, the figurehead is an animal's head, specifically a lion with a stylized mane. The huge masts give the ship extreme maneuverability. The ship has a lawn on her deck, complete with a swing and a slide, as well as an observation tower for a crow's nest. The Thousand Sunny is a brigantine, a highly versatile type of ship that relies on the skills of its navigator.
