Description

from Blackbeard's Pirate Cruise
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 we will transform your little mates into buccaneers, as our super friendly crew will give them a pirate mustache, pirate tattoo, and dress them like pirates.

Once under way, we'll begin the hunt for Blackbeard's Treasure, 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 we defeat the scallywag, we'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 assure the crew will have time to get the kids transformed and the staff has time to get all you swabs together for a family photo.

"Unique Experience for Kids"
July 2018
Ideal age for this would be 5-10. My little guy was 2 1/2 and, although fun, was a bit overwhelmed with all the action. Staff was great with the kids. It does get hot and there isn't much shade, but you do get pretty wet.

"Fun for the kids"
July 2018
We went as a large family and the adults enjoyed the captain while the kids enjoyed the pirates on the main deck..I would say it would have been sufficient to have sent only 1 or 2 adults (we didn't need 7), but we were there for a family outing and it was fun to be out on the intercoastal waterway.

Tip: Bring water to drink. And above deck (the adults can stand up there) you don't get wet much at all.

"Tons of fun for the Kids (AND PARENTS)"
June 2018
The young kids got to wear bandanas, get painted on mustaches, bears and drawn on tattoos. It was so much fun. When they get out the water guns the pirates make sure to get the adults as well. Dancing and playing games and especially looking for the pirates on the jet skis to get with water cannons was so much fun. Lasted little over an hour and my kids both under 10 loved it.
