That was the reaction of the children to this adventure! Two grandparents, two parents, a 9-year old, a 7-year old, & a 2-year old all went & we all loved every minute. At checkin the older children got tattoos & the opportunity to don pirate garb, then 'Bilge', the pirate in charge of the group of little pirates, led them... More

I have three kids, 5, 3 and 20 months. I was desperately trying to find "kid-friendly" activities. Honestly, I saw the price and went back and forth for weeks before finally booking. Once we were on the boat, both my husband and I agreed that it was worth every penny. They started off with face painting and dress-up followed by... More

My daughter is 3 and loves pirates. When I saw this I thought this would be great for her. And boy was I right. They take the kids and make them the center of the adventure. The girl who was guided the kids was amazing with the kids and the captian was great as well. They got to dress up... More

We made a lot of amazing memories on our first trip to the OBX, but this adventure tops the list! The staff made all the kids comfortable and involved them in every part of the search for the treasure, while all the parents needed to do was take pictures. :) It did cost a little more than other attractions, but...

This entire experience was well organized, entertaining and good clean fun for everyone. The kids began with a little dress up and face paint, moved on to a little role playing, and then we boarded the ship for a cruise in the bay and more pirate fun. The trip was humorous and the energetic staff kept the kids occupied. All... More

We were a little skeptical at first because of the price, but it was worth it for the kids. They get their faces painted and put on a pirate vest, go on a boat out into the sound, and shoot water cannons at the "pirate" trying to steal their treasure. They come home with pockets full of buried treasure and... More

This was a highlight of our vacation, my 6 yr old son thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the adventure. The crew is outstanding, keeps the kids safely entertained and engaged the entire trip. Can't say enough good things...

The grand kids had a great time on their pirate adventure. It was very impressive how they entertained the kids and each item had a purpose but the kids were thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

My 7 year old enjoyed it. It's not good for older kid. The best part for the kids was when they blasted water at a pirate.

My 6yr old and 3 yr old both loved the pirate adventure. They said it was the best part of their vacation! The employees really do a great job on the boat of getting the kids into it and our kids loved getting their face painted before boarding the boat. All around a great activity for the kids! Highly recommend.
