Description

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

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

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

I took my 2 daughters and grandkids on this cruise. It is geared to small kids and my grandkids really liked it. Their favorite part was the mutinous pirate Billy. He was a wonderful entertainer.

The crew was fun and the kids really got into the treasure hunt, shooting water canons at Pirate Billy, finding treasure with gold and getting face painted!

The team at Blackbeard's Pirate Cruise did a great job engaging their on-board guests in a fun, interactive sail on the high seas of the Intercoastal Waterway! All of the staff put in tons of energy to keep the kids engaged and having fun! It seemed most appropriate for 5-10 year-olds, but the younger kids and adults had fun too! The only thing that would have made it better would be if the actors all had small microphones to help amplify their voices so we could hear everything they were saying. Be sure to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water it it's a hot day, like it was when we went. Thanks to Blackbeard's for a very enjoyable pirate cruise expedition!
