Port Royale is another similiar game. Not bad at all, though I like Patrician III better (own a cd which contains both games).

Also, if you are ready to do a bit more for gaming, I would recommend old game called "Privateer II: The Darkening". Good game despite some critics it has got. The only problems are that it's old, and thus hard to find, though I heard it's abandonware now. The second problem comes in getting it to work. DosBOX should help though I vaguelly remember it involving copying all the cd's to HD before installation.
