Poor customer service
Had an unforeseen emergency come up and the company was rude and would not work with us for a refund. I would stay away from this company and book a different trip.

A Fun Experience with Excellent Service
We had so much fun on this excursion. I want to give a shoutout to our personal pirate, Ruly, who was great! I have some mobility issues and he helped me get on and off the ship. He also made sure we were taken care of on the ship and helped me get down the ladder to the galley for dinner. Food was very good! The entertainment was great! I would recommend this excursion for all ages.

Would totally recommend to any adult visiting a Puerto Vallarta
This was fantastic entertainment, including a boat ride, fireworks, one of the best meals we had while in Puerto Vallarta. The service was amazing. They made the check-in process very easy and were very informative. They walked us to the location we needed to be out that way we would not get lost and gave us very specific timeframe so we had an opportunity to shop prior to the event. Drinks were great, food was great, service was fantastic. Some parts of it may not be appropriate for small children.

Must Do!!!..
Danny the pirate and his crews are amazing. Food is awesome and service was great. Danny was our pirate and he's AWESOME!. Thanks for everything; we had a great time and you have to do this. Out of all the excursion, this was far the best. It gets chilly at night with the wind so be sure to wear sweater... Other than that, this is a great night tour, great food and great service. Thanks again Danny the pirate; take care bud

A lot of fun but recommend day ship if you have kids
The pirate ship was a lot of fun and the staff and food was amazing. Wish I would have known that the night ship was geared towards adult partying. My 4 year old granddaughter was very concerned during the pirate fight. Think the day trip would have been a better experience for her.
