This is all deep psychology stuff, which is why I love this movie. Its got id, ego, super-ego involving the three main characters buts thats for another discussion. I have read many write that the compass points back to the Pearl, his greatest love. As Jack rows away from the Pearl as its getting eaten and he looks at his compass, it without question is pointing back to Elizabeth . His pirate instinct took over and he had already made the decision to abondin ship and leave the Pearl and the crew to the Kraken to save his skin. He knew it was hopeless to defeat it and ."Why fight when you can negotiate"? He needed his leverage back Davy Jones heart. Nothing else was going to save his soul. What good is the ship if he is dead or a slave to Davy Jones, and his 13 years is about up. This is all about a womana wo mann. Jack even understood that when the voodoo lady was talking about Davy Jones. The compass doesn't work for him during the whole movie 'while' he already has the pearl. He doesn't know what he wants the most. He already has his ship, his title, his freedom, etc. The compass doesn't just give you one wish, and once you get it, it stops working. He's had the pearl for awhile now, what he wants most now he thinks 'consciously' is the chest to barter for his soul. Subconsciously Elizabeth left a mark on him in the last movie and having left without her at the end of the last movie, he feels an emptiness and void as he's galivanting the waters all this time without her, although he is not sure what it is at this time. He just feels a little lost in his journey. While the voodoo chic tells the story of David Jones' love and then grief of not being with the woman he loves, Jack immediately gets it, and starts to realize the mystery of the broken compass, as does the voo doo woman"Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants"more than anything in this world.
Looking at the ship as he rows away, his soul speaks to him and tells him what you want the most is to save Elizabeth because she is your soulmate and you will not be able to live with yourself if you allow her to die, just as Davy Jones was not able to live with his broken heart and had to cut out his heart. It probably seemed like dejavu to him, and perhaps he even knows the history of Jones and saw a parallel between that and his current situation. To confirm, he looks at the compass, and sure enough it also points back at the boat confirming his hunch. He saves her and them temporaily with that wicked shot, and her admiration for him, while significant, is overcome by her praticality and will to survive be doing what she had to do to stay alive. Sparrow is not even disappointed because it just confirmed to him his instincts were correct that she was indeed his soulmate.."Pirate". She done right be her, thats all one can expect, if any of you remember that line from the first move. He has finally found his soul mate. This sort of energized him and he was more determined than ever to survive and so he takes on the Kraken head on with no fear, perhaps knowing he will be able to make another deal the Jones since Jones thinks Sparrow knows where the heart is.
