From Beginning to end the action is non-stop as we transform the kids into our Pirate Crew. The adventure starts at the dock where each little mate gets to put on some pirate gear and learns to talk like a pirate. Once they’ve sworn their allegiance to the boat they are officially part of the Crew and get to join us in the hunt for loot. We’ve got a map that leads to a sunken treasure chest, but Stinky Pete knows about it too and he stole the key. The race is on to find Stinky Pete, and get the key back before he can steal the treasure for himself. Once we find him our new Crew is going to have to man the water cannons, and blast the stink right off of Pete until he gives us the key!Fortunately, at Pirates of Hilton Head, we always beat Stinky Pete and every little pirate always gets a handful of the loot. We celebrate the victory with some music and dancing before heading back to port. All told it’s about an hour and a half of fun including the time on the dock. Please show up at least 20 minutes early to get your pirate name and a tattoo!We look forward to having you aboard. This is one adventure they’ll never forget! « less

In addition to the rejuvenating experience of sailing, your excursion on the Glory BE will allow us to provide continued support to charitable organizations that are focused on children and women. Dolphin Excursions: Year round you can spot dolphins throughout the surrounding waters of beautiful Hilton Head Island. Occasionally dolphins can be seen swimming along side the Glory BE in picture shot range, often times they are feeding in abundance at the mouth of the May River, and on rare occasions they can be spotted strand feeding along the shore lines of the beautiful salt marshes. Don't be surprised or should I say embarrassed if you catch them mating, which appears as if they are playing. On our sailing excursions we cannot guarantee that dolphins will be seen; however, the percentages are high and we'd love to share the experience with you. Sunset Excursions: The sun sets in glorious splendor behind the marshes on the west side of the Calibogue Sound and the May River. It is never the same but always a delight to experience from on board the Glory BE. By the way, the photo in the background on our web pages is of the sunrise over the Atlantic. Rates and Information: Sailing excursions on the Glory BE range from 2 to 3 hours, depending on weather conditions and how much fun we are having. Excursions are scheduled daily in the morning, early afternoon and evening/sunset. Hands-on experience is open and life preservers are available. Rates (4 persons max): The rate per excursion with up to 4 persons is $120. Excursions are booked as private unless otherwise indicated by our passengers. For example, if two persons reserve the Glory BE and they notify us at the time of reservations that they are willing to share with up to two additional persons we will be more than happy to make the arrangements. Amenities: Bottled water and snacks are provided, as well as a cooler with cold packs. You are welcome to bring your own cooler and/or picnic basket, or the concierge will be happy to have it catered for you. There is a cabin that includes an eating area and comfortable cabin seating. There is a small private head facility (port-a-potty) on board for your convenience; full facilities are available at the marina. « less
