Aargh, Matey!! - We took our grandson on September 4, 2025. All of the Pirates Crew were phenomenal. First, each child was assigned their own "Pirate" name, (how they came up with them so quickly for each kid amazed me), then the Captain gave the new "Crew" instructions in Pirate talk "Aarrgghh" and an explanation of the purpose of our trip, to recover the Treasure! Then, the Crew boarded the Black Ghost flying the Pirate Flag, the Jolly Roger, and we set sail on adventure! There were sword fights, treasure map reading, teaching of the difference between Port and Starboard (did Mom and Dad even know?), lively sea chantys, cannon firing to defeat the Scalawag Sneaky Pete and sharing of the recaptured Treasure followed by marching with the Pirate Flag and even the Pirate Limbo! The Captain and Crew provided non-stop entertaining descriptions of the happenings and getting the kids to join in the action and Pirate Talk and they even taught them to swab the deck! Overall hilarious fun. Avast, ye Mateys, and book your trip now for a Jolly Good Adventure with the Pirates of Charleston!! Big thanks to the Captain and Crew. We will be taking our 2 granddaughters next!

The BEST party experience in Charleston - Phenomenal. We celebrated my son's 4th birthday party on the ship, and I'm pretty sure I will forever be the coolest mom as a result. The crew was so entertaining and it was a toss up for who had the most fun -- kids or parents. Do not sleep on this experience. Worth. It.

An absolute blast! - Ava’s pirate adventure in Charleston was unforgettable! She set sail on a treasure hunt, uncovered hidden booty, and bravely defended the ship by blasting a scallywag with water cannons. The excitement continued with a water gun fight, a dance party, and a limbo contest — all led by an incredible crew that knew exactly how to keep the kids engaged and having the best time. From start to finish, Ava had an absolute blast!

Great birthday option - This was the best birthday imaginable for a five year old. Older kids invited loved it as well. Great theatrical performances by the captain and crew. Parents loved it and it was nonstop entertainment for the entire cruise. No down time. Kids constantly engaged. I highly recommend this for a special occasion like a birthday for children.

Incredible Time - This experience was fantastic and the pirates were so patient and kind to our littles. My oldest nephew was having a difficult time with being afraid, in general, of things. They went out of their way to encourage and include him.

Ahoy there, Matie! - My 4-year-old grand daughter had a fun time as a pirate! The owners are great at entertaining the kids and adults alike. She is still talking about the treasure and Stinky Pete.
