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.

I wasn’t going to leave a review because honestly the people I talked to were very pleasant but I keep getting emails about leaving a review. After a few months it still annoys me enough that hey, if you really want me to leave a review, I will. My initial email confirmation said the cruise was from 2-2:30. So when I showed up at 1:30 we had missed the pirate cruise that was actually at 1. I know I should have give a glance to the following reminder emails that did have the right time. And yes I probably should have realized 2-2:30 didn’t sound right, but I had so much going on while planning a vacation with multiple people and kids of varying ages that I just didn’t notice that it wasn’t right. Even when showing that the email had the wrong time I was told there was nothing to be done. Again, everyone was nice and apologetic but it just seems silly that a refund policy is so strict that it doesn’t include errors included in the email sent to me by the company.

"Kids absolutely loved this!"

My two boys (ages 1.5 and 3) had the absolute best time! Stinky Pete left quite the impression, as he is still talked about to this day in our house! Every detail was thought of, from dressing the kids up as pirates to activities aboard the ship and take-home treasure. It was also nice for us as adults to get out on the water to enjoy the scenery. We will definitely do it again if we are ever back in the area.
