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.

"Lots of fun for the kids!"

Reviewed September 25, 2024

Brought my kids 4-14 and all enjoyed it.l, even the adults did. They were very interactive and entertaining for the kids. We had bought the sword kits and one of the toys was broken and they replaced it no problem. Great fun for the whole family.

"Blackbeard's Is A Must!"

Reviewed September 23, 2024

This was an awesome trip! The whole cast, Calico, Pearl, Billy Bones and the Captain were amazing. There was a nice shaded area up top for adults and toddlers who needed somewhere to sit. The captain gave an adult oriented tour while up there. The crew was amazing with all the kids and kept them busy the whole time. Our youngest does not like loud noises and Billy (the loudest And funniest) recognized this and made sure to accommodate that while keeping with his character. Our youngest eventually even joined in all of the fun. Which was amazing! I would recommend this 100% to anyone. 15/10 stars

It was fantastic!! The show kept everyone's attention from ages 3yro-65yros. The food was much better than I expected but I would have gotten containers for the leftovers. I got VIP passes, well worth it. The VIP passes gave us front row seats with close proximity to the actors. If you do the face painting, fun fun fun.

"Pirate Cruise"

Reviewed September 10, 2024

We have done the pirate cruise with my niece for three consecutive years.. This year she is five... each time was as exciting as the first for her. Planning to find the treasure, dancing & swabbing the deck are such fun, but nothing beats shooting Billy with the water cannons. The crew is great, but Billy is the perfect pirate. He definitely makes the trip what it is. She's gone from being excited but a little scare and could not stop talking about Billy after that first trip, to brave and ready to conquer him since then. She looks forward to this every year. this one is a must.
