We have a ramp to our dock that provides easy access to our boat for all guests. However, we are unable to accommodate any motorized scooters or chairs while on the boat. We ask that guests please bring non-motorized equipment for the journey itself.
You are more than welcome to bring your own drinks on any trip, but please no glass containers on board. The little pirates are going to be fully engaged on their quest for treasure anyway so no food on the ship.
During our adventure, we learn to fire real water cannons! Those cannons come in handy when we encounter that mean Barnacle Bill. Barnacle Bill is not a defenseless pirate and will fire back with his own water gun. Kids and adults who engage in the battle or stand in the battle zone (where the cannons are located) should expect to get sprayed. If you do not wish to be sprayed, please take shelter near the captain or in the bow (front) of the ship.
IMPORTANT: Please arrive 30 minutes before your voyage is scheduled to depart for getting kids tattooed and dressed up

5.00it was a fun experience! My grandchildren arranged an age from 3 to 14 and they all had a great time. The adults did too.
They turned my daughter’s bad attitude around!!

5.00When we arrived for this adventure with our seven and 10-year-olds, our seven-year-old immediately started acting as though she did not want to be there and was being quite grumpy. Once we got on board the ship, Pirate Pickles did her best to cheer my daughter up. I almost gave up and assumed that it was a lost cause, but then she completely changed her attitude around when the rogue pirate attack attacked our ship. She cracked a smile and Pirate Pickles set her up with her own water cannon. The rest of the trip was enjoyable for her and my entire family (but as the youngest, she was the one we were hoping would have the most fun!) As a parent, I really appreciated their attention to my child who did not seem to be having fun. They definitely try to include everyone. It was a good excursion! The one thing I would change, is telling people to get there 30 minutes early. We were under the assumption we needed to be there at 11:00 am for an 1130 departure time. We got there 30 minutes early, or so we thought. We ended up waiting an hour for a 12 o’clock departure time. This may have been my fault for not reading the fine print, but an hour on deck with other families and kids was a little chaotic and stressful. My daughter asked me to rate this trip 5 stars. So that’s what I did :)
Awesome

5.00Barnacle Bill is a real treasure! Captain Blacksparrow and Ruby Red were great. You can tell they all really enjoy curating this experience. We didn’t realize it was geared for younger kids, but my kid is 13 and had a blast - literally - taking on Barnacle Bill. Totally recommend this for families. All of the kids (and adults) seemed to have a great time.
unexpectedly fun

5.00Ruby red, Captain Black sparrow, and Captain pancake were amazing! They stayed in character and me and my girls had a ball. I think I had more fun than the kids. I would definitely wanna go back.

2.00Pretty terrible. The kids had fun for a few mins, but otherwise way overpriced. It’s basically a boat ride with some squirt guns. The “bag of loot” is a plastic bag with 6 plastic gold coins. You have to pay extra for the pirate outfits. Not worth the money.
