Description

Ahoy Mateys! Welcome aboard Blackbeard's Treasure Hunter, the largest pirate ship in the Carolinas! Join us for an hour-long interactive adventure your family will never forget it!

Your adventure begins on the dock, where you will be transformed buccaneers, as the super friendly crew will give you a pirate mustache, and pirate tattoo, and dress you like pirate.

Once underway, the hunt for Blackbeard's Treasure will begin, but we may get some unwanted company! The dirty rotten scoundrel Bad Billy Bones has stolen the key to the treasure chest and is hot on our trail. We'll shiver his timbers with our 16 high-powered water cannons and capture the treasure.

Once the scallywag is defeated, you'll celebrate like true pirates with games, singing & dancing, and of course, a ceremonial opening of the treasure chest so that all the little buccaneers can go home with some pirate's booty.

Each little buccaneer will receive a pirate mustache, face painting, pirate tattoo, and whatever booty they earn!

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to departure to ensure the crew will have time to get the kids transformed and the staff has time to get all your swabs together for a family photo.

"Cheap, not so much fun"

There should be new things for kids especially if the toy swords and water guns are cheap. They should be replaced, so that new kids can enjoy them. The only part my son enjoyed was shooting the cannons. Sorry, I just don't feel like I got the BEST experience.

We chose this adventure for my daughter's 5th birthday party. The staff and owners are amazing! Our Captain was funny and really got the pirates filed up! The kids loved keeping Black Beard away from the ship with the water cannons. He took it like a champ. Great experience. Highly recommend
