Biscayneer was a cutter launched in 1779. From at least 1781 on she was a privateer based in Dartmouth, Devon. She captured or recaptured several vessels before her owner-captain sold her in 1783 after the end of the American War of Independence. New owners renamed her Retreat. She was last listed in 1784.

Lloyd's List reported in June 1781 that the Dartmouth privateer Biscayneer, Crowte, master, had taken and sent into Dartmouth a French brig carrying a cargo of wine, brandy and bale goods.[2] Prize money was awarded on 6 December 1781 for the French vessel Valiant.

A year or so later, in July 1782, Lloyd's List reported that the privateer Biscayneer had recaptured Шаблон:Ship, Ray, master, one of the Newfoundland fleet, and brought her into Dartmouth.[3] Biscayneer would have been entitled to salvage for the recapture.

Later in July, Biscayneer, Crowte, master, captured and sent into Dartmouth Modeste, which had been sailing from Ferrol in ballast.[4] The Spanish-built snow of 70 tons (bm), was sold on 19 August.
