These reviews mustn’t be real because it wasn’t that great at all - this is specific to the pirate tall ship cruise. Captain Pineapple was great and his enthusiasm was probably the best part, but he also ran from place to place constantly and it was hard to know what was going on. They would say go to another part of the boat and we’d go with our child, but then nothing would really happen, then it would be back to the previous part of the boat again for more talking. The pirate actions include drawing on the deck with chalk, having plastic swords that the kids did nothing with, and a cannon that well, did nothing because it’s plastic, and sweeping the deck with some brooms. It was really hot to just stand there listening to random talking and disorganisation. Keep Caltain pineapple but get a proper structure so guests know what they’re doing and a story is great, but the kids especially young kids need to be engaged. For the price you also expect more pirates stuff… maybe more pirates!

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your pirate tall ship cruise experience.
We’re really glad to hear that Captain Pineapple’s energy and enthusiasm stood out—that’s exactly the spirit we aim to bring onboard.
That said, it’s clear the overall experience didn’t feel as engaging or well-structured as it should have, especially when you were expecting a more immersive and interactive adventure for your child. We understand how frustrating it can be to move around the ship without clear direction or consistent activities, particularly in the heat.
Your comments about pacing, clearer organization, and more hands-on pirate activities (and yes—more pirates!) are genuinely helpful. We’re sharing this with our team so we can improve the flow of the experience and better engage younger guests throughout the journey.
We appreciate your honesty and hope we’ll have the chance to deliver a more exciting and seamless adventure in the future.
Kind Regards,
Sydney Harbour Tall Ships

Fantastic day on the bay
Had a fantastic day with our 6 and 8 year olds. The crew were wonderful- particularly the two entertainers, Jolly Roger and Captain Pineapple! On Sydney Harbour with a beer and the kids were having a ball. Highly recommended

To the boarding!!!
We spent a very enjoyable and fun day with the Pirates, aboard a splendid vintage ship. The tour, or rather, the "Mutiny Cruise," was a truly entertaining experience in a splendid and unique setting in Sydney Harbour. A must-do for families with children, who joyfully and enthusiastically participate in the mutiny, the steering of the ship—even as deckhands—and the search for treasure! Definitely worth a try!

It's hard to wind down.
The first sailing ship cruise
The weather is good, and the sea is quiet after a row
Hectic after setting sail for best cruise day
The crew composes the wind of movement, the multitude of participatory experiences, how to tie the rope and how to walk the deck.
Approach to sail etc. First experience of field trip
After a light snack, a group photo was taken with 45 rudder
Slowly, we ride in the wind, through the Haberbrich.
Arrived at the original port and had a good experience with Santorum!

This is a must-do.
PHENOMENAL. I can't recommend this highly enough. I took my son (7) and daughter (10) and both loved it. This was true entertainment and full engagement from the team, and as an adult onlooker, it was amazing. I would (and will) recommend this to anyone I know that goes to Sydney. It is a must-do. It's a family-run business that clearly takes pride in what they do. We paid extra for my son to climb the mast and it was WORTH IT. This is a must-do, and I would have been willing to pay 3-4X what we did for the experience that we got. Thank you!

Great day out for pirate fans
Such a great day out for our pirate-mad 4 year old. It was a beautiful day on the harbour aboard the tall ship, and he was completely engaged by the pirates on board, especially the sword fight and finding the treasure! Our baby pirate loved it too. Thank you Captain Pineapple, July Roger and crew for entertaining us and sharing your love for the ship.

Swashbuckling fun!
We had a fabulous time today on the glittering Sydney harbour - we hoisted the sails, skippered the ship, scrubbed the decks, joined a mutiny, found hidden treasure and sang sea shanties all on the classic heritage ship
The Southern Swan. This cruise was well organised, great value for money and a brilliant fun experience for our 12, 8 and 4 yo grandkids. Can highly recommend for a birthday celebration or party 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
