Description

From beginning to end, the action is non-stop as the kids are transformed into a Pirate Crew. Everyone gets a pirate name and learns how to talk like a pirate before you even start searching for treasure on the Hilton Head Pirate Cruise!

The first fifteen minutes are spent on the dock getting the little pirates ready and teaching them how to talk like a real pirate crew. Once the crew is ready, you board the ship and head out on the Calibogue Sound.

Please prepare for the weather. If the sun is out, load up on sunblock and bring some water. If it's cloudy, consider a light rain jacket, the boat will still sail in a light drizzle. You're pirates, after all.

My 5 year old really enjoyed "battling" Stinky Pete while Mom and Dad enjoyed some shade on the boat. The crew made the voyage really fun.

From the ship mates, to the captain, to Sneaky Pete, the staff were just wonderful! They totally engaged with the children, made sure safety was the main concern, and totally could relate to the ages of all the children involved. Such a fun event for all of us!

My husband & I took our 2 year old son. He was a little young however, he understood the purpose of the excursion. Even though he wanted to sit with us rather than the older children, the staff ensured he was still apart of the experience. 100/10 & we plan to make this a yearly adventure!

This adventure was worth every penny! I don’t know where they found the pirates they did, but they were AMAZING! They were friendly, bubbly, funny and kind from the second we saw them. We made a mistake and walked down the ramp thinking that was how we got on the boat and sunny and skulls met us with huge smiles and their bubbly personality to help us find the check in booth. I was truly amazed with how animated and patient they were the entire time!

A fun activity with the family. The crew members have a lot of energy and make the trip really fun. Our kids enjoyed getting their pirate hats, eye patches, signed flag, tattoos and face painting. Well worth it paying for these things ahead-it made things easy for me as a mom & my boys enjoyed having them to really participate as a pirate. Right from the start the crew initiates the kids into being a true pirate from the creative names they give the kids, to the pirate oath. The crew also did a great job involving the parents into the whole experience. I highly recommend the experience.
