Our 3 yr old granddaughter had a blast! Scully was amazing, we used our pirate talk all weekend. What interactive fun, my husband was roped into it when he inadvertently stole the pirate map, our granddaughters reaction was priceless. The sand bucket we purchased was full of shark's teeth, shells and fossils which she loved. Well worth it!!

Great experience!

Excellent outing!! The crew were all perfectly suited for their roles in the experience. Our 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed it…and we enjoyed watching her have such a good time! My only recommendation is better signage to find the check in booth! We had to ask 2 people before we found the right spot!

Best Kid-Friendly Excursion on Hilton Head

Thoroughly entertaining and professionally-run experience filled with swashbuckling play (foam sword and water cannon battles) and an engaging storyline for kids to follow and participate in. My five-year-old granddaughter is more of a unicorn-princess-mermaid kid, but she had a blast! Shout outs to the crew of performers who kept the kids engaged, safe, and happy. If you’re looking for one memorable and guaranteed-fun excursion to do with your younger (age 4-7) child or grandchild on a Hilton Head vacay, I highly recommend this pirate cruise. Note: We bought the extra pirate package (bandana, eye patch, sword, flag), but you can bring your own pirate costumes/gear.

An Excellent Pirate Adventure

What a wonderful time! We (the adults) were entertained as much as the children. Swords, eye patches, bandanas/hats, face painting, and rub-on tattoos were available to make the adventure truly adventurous. The crew taught us all pirate-speak and eye-eyes and ahoys were the words of the day. A few shady seats for us adults was much appreciated and we could enjoy all the entertainment there as well. A great time was had by all!

Highly recommended at Hilton Head

The kids had a great time on the pirate ship! The pirates were so nice and enthusiastic. The boat experience was fun for kids under 10. The tattoo and face painting added on to the fun. They also have swords, bandannas ahd eye patches for sale.
