Perfect for kids & kids at heart. I loved watching my son & daughter interact with the head girl in charge of entertaining the kids... she was amazing. My son loved shooting the pirate with the water cannons:) More

My kids took me on this adventure for Mothers Day. I initially thought - "oh boy, what fun will this be" - was I surprised! It was fabulous - watching my grandchildren being totally drawn into the adventure by the wonderful group of young actors and actresses who were enthusiastic and made the adventure seem so real - not scary,...

I was completely surprised by how fun this turned out to be. It is a great way to get on the water and the staff is terrific and works really hard at engaging all the kids on board. Even when I'm on shore, it makes me smile to see the Pirate ship go by! More

We took our grandson on this boat adventure. It was well done and the kids all loved it. Costumes and face painting. Our little guy liked most of it, but there was a lot of very loud shouting by the crew and it began to wear on our nerves. At age 4, he was a bit frightened, but most of... More

Once again the whole experience was unforgetable. Adults and children had such a good time, they are still talking about it in October. The staff do an outstanding job making us feel like we are the only people on the planet. Everyone takes their time and gets to know the group. Ours was a field trip with 6 year old... More

These folks make sure your child or grandchild has a ball! For nearly 2 hours children are given simple pirate costumes & get custom-painted on tatoos. Then they are captivated by the animated crew who take them on a treasure hunt in Annapolis Harbor. While underway, the kids search for a treasure map, hunt for treasure, find a treasure chest,...

We took our two grand-kids (9 and 7) on this and it was awesome indeed. The kids loved the whole experience from face painting, to treasure hunting, to drinking pirate "grog", to firing the water cannons at another pirate vessel. The crew was outstanding and kept the kids fired up and safe. I'd say our grand-kids are right about at... More

Always look forward to our trips to sail with Pirate Adventures- it started as a birthday party, but has now become an annual family tradition- never disappoints, and always new and exciting. More

My husband and I brought our 7 and 3 year old boys. We all had a blast. The staff were all incredible: funny, engaging all of the children, addressing them all by name, energetic, etc. I wasn't expecting such an elaborate adventure as I only thought it would be a little boat ride. I am so glad we discovered it,... More
