RAAAGGGHHHH!!! - The novelty of Wale watching with a group of pirates made it a fun day. We took the early tour and we were treated to a delicious Mexican breakfast. Hot coffee, open bar, music, tour guide and crew provided a great service. And yes we saw a wale.!!!

Whales + Dancing = Happy Kids - Started the trip with a pair of tired, cranky kids. After a great breakfast, a lot of time watching a whale calf play, and a dance party we ended the trip with ecstatic young pirates.

Whale Watching Excursion Perfection - This was a trip that didn't disappoint. We got to see multiple whales passing through in a fairly short time. The crew was lively and entertaining. The food was also delicious. My 4-year-old and 2-year-old enjoyed themselves tremendously.

Fun, Fun, Fun - We had a great time sailing with this crew! They were very efficient in serving breakfast and drinks. Antonio was very knowledgeable and informative and the entire crew made sure everyone was having fun! We saw quite a few whales close up! If you are going to go whale watching, you won’t be disappointed if you choose the Buccaneer Queen!

Fun cruise on the pirate ship - Get there EARLY!!! Overall it's a good cruise. Breakfast was good with ham and egg scramble, bacon, chilaquiles, refried beans and fresh fruit. Regrettably, there were few whales showing up. Crew was great; attentively offering drinks throughout the cruise and making sure everyone had whatever we wanted. If you arrive just in time to sail like we did, breakfast may be cold and the best viewing positions on the bow and along the rails will be taken. It's hard to see the whales from mid-deck.

A fun Adventure On The High Seas - Our grandchildren enjoyed the ship and especially the interaction with the crew (especially the dancing.) We saw some baby whales with their mama so that was a fun thing to watch. Boat was pretty crowded and we hung out by the arch for too long. Breakfast was excellent.

Meh. - The pirate ship was like any other whale watching experience. It would have been nice if the staff were dressed up or they did some pirate-themed performance. And be careful around the staff serving breakfast. One in particular is really mean and got mad at me for trying to help my son request pancakes.
