Night Cruise at Puerto Vallarta, Pirate Show & Dinner!

Updated review of Pirate Ship evening cruise New Year’s 2025/ 2026. Communication from booking agency became a problem. Weeks before New Year I booked, received confirmation (!), Tickets received later ( normal location and timing) with instruction to contact booking company, the response: “There will be no pirate ship at the end of the year, as it is a special event. Your reservation is confirmed!” (???) They changed departure time, so 1 of our party was not able to go, I requested refund 36 hours before new departure time. Original timing was to be completed at 9:30 PM, we had made plans for after. Myself and date continued with new timing, arriving at terminal we found long lineups, went through security, boarding passes taken, and were taken to a different boat. A typical booze cruise boat. They had obviously heavily overbooked, in their credit supplied 2 extra boats but if I had wanted to, that is what I would have booked. The booking company had said I was not within 24 hours so not entitled to the 1 refund, but would make an exception (actually 36 hours). The communication was not allowing me to understand their attempt to help, I would have cancelled all. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CRUISE BEFORE, IT IS EXCELLENT, I WANTED NO LESS but this was embarrassing me for my date.

Amazing! We did the night dinner and literally all the pirates were exceptional, but our pirate “Ruly” was phenomenal. The show, the drinks, the service. And the band was so well synchronized, there are not enough words to define how great it was. Would say the night cruise is more geared for adults so if you have little ones maybe the day cruise is the better choice.

Best ever! I had a personal pirate, Alligator. He’s the best. Great meal and everything was perfectly entertaining. Where else can you dance with a pirate?

Overall are experience on this expedition was a five. It would been a five plus had there not been annoying guests, yelling and screaming in our ears. The entertainment provided by the pirates was pretty awesome. Our personal pirate Alvin was very attentive. Always made sure we had a drink and made sure we were taken care of. I had the ribs and my husband had the filet mignon. The dinner was okay. A little overcooked for both of us. The show after dinner was pretty awesome, especially with the fireworks. We would definitely do this again and hope that we don't have annoying people around us speaking out during the show which was multiple times and very rude. At the end as we were all finishing up they brought around the picture that they took when you first stepped aboard which was 300 pesos. The photo was nice and worth the 300 pesos . They also were trying to get tips for your personal pirate and for the other pirates on the board as you're leaving the ship. Overall, this was a great experience and would definitely do again.

If you want a unique dinner show, this is a must!! Show is in Spanish and Engliish…action packed, dinner, drinks and fireworks include. A must on your Puerto Vallarta trip
