Worth every penny! Grandkids had a blast! - Kids loved it! The pirate hosts did an awesome job! Well worth the money. This was our 2nd time doing this excursion. I think our granddaughter was 7 or 8 the first time we did it. She is 10 & will be 11 I. sept and some parts of it she was definitely not excited as she was the first time we took her. Our grandson is 5 and loved every minute. I would not think twice about bringing him again! The was singing, joking that was intended for the parents humor, pirate grog sipping, lost real treasure , water cannon shooting at Stinky Pete, a genuine pirate looking captain… the full experience with the the Bandana, eye patch and sword were the way we went and also worth it. Kids get a tattoo and face paint- here is my only complaint: the face paint comes off much too easily with a sweaty brow and the rub of a hand or forearm and is very messy… I mean I’m glad it’s not permanent….. but it doesn’t stay on at all. It doesn’t even last the better portion of the excursion. Overall, however, afantastic experience !

HH pirate adventure - Kids enjoyed. Would have been nice to include some of the pirate equipment with the ticket price instead of having to pay extra for everything.

Fun Family Adventure! - It was an awesome experience for our 4 and 6 year old grandchildren (and us)! The cast/crew of the Black Sparrow were funny and engaging. Taking down Stinky Pete with the water cannons was one of their favorite parts! However, the star of the show was the guy that stole the treasure map,”Pop”! 🤣. Kudos to everyone from the tattoos and face paint to the found treasure, we all had a blast! A must do when visiting HH with young children!

A Must Do! - This is a “Must Do” not a “to do”! My grandson had the time of his life helping his pirate crew defeat Stinky Pete on an exciting quest to find the hidden treasure. The captain, crew, and even Stinky Pete were absolutely wonderful! Thank you for creating such a fun-filled adventure and making this experience so memorable. It was a day my grandson will never forget! Pirate “Jawbone J” will be back at Broadside soon!

Great experience! - This was such a fun experience for our family of 4-2 adults, 7 yr old, 4 yr old. The guides were absolutely fantastic and made the entire experience. The kid loved it-even the 7 yr old who thought she was too “cool” for the pirate adventure. The kids were involved from the start with face painting, tattoos, name tags, and they kept their attention the entire time. I would absolutely recommend if you have young kids!

Pirate Fun - The day we went was so hot but Sparkle and Sharkey was amazing with the kids. They keep them engaged and made it fun. The kids had so much fun using the water cannons and finding the lost treasure. So worth it.

Great experience for all - Fantastic! So enjoyable! We were grandparents taking our 6 year old on this adventure cruise. The performers were great with the kids and with the adults… no one was left out even the infants. The water cannons and the treasure chest were biggest hit! We highly recommend this adventure for the kids!

Wonderful Pirate Cruise! - Had a wonderful time with my 5 grandchildren ages 7 to 18 mos. The staff was friendly and engaging, and the cruise was fun!! The kids really enjoyed the water canons and we even saw dolphins!! After the cruise, my 3 year old grandson said, "Grandma, I had so much fun!" I would highly recommend this activity.

Pirate cruise Hilton head - We had so much fun! The kids stay involved the whole time. The swords, hats, and face paint help make the experience even more fun. I would do this again and again.
