I have now gone on this trip 3 times, each time with a different grandchild. From the very adventurous to the very shy, each had a great time. I've taken them all at about 5 or 6 years old. Lots to do from face-painting to tattoos to dancing to practicing pirate talk. Water cannons of course are a big hit. Be aware there is no awning over the boat so it can get very hot and sunny. But for an hour, we were fine. Any longer would have been hard.

The kids had a blast! In this one hour boat ride- the kids were kept busy every second with games, dancing, shooting water canons on a bad pirate who stole the keys to the treasure (I know?!!), face painting, and more!
The crew was so nice and fun and we had the best time watching our kids have the best time ever....

Boat was clean, was a smooth ride, captains were great and friendly. Was hoping for more “cherry blossom tour” but not close enough to the shore to see them. Apparently booked as the “sightseeing tour”.Was very short (knew that going in though). Could not believe how EAR PIERCING the prerecorded tour guide was! Terribly loud too many details that were irrelevant, esp when your ears were bleeding, was like nails on a chalkboard.

The cruise is a large pontoon boat with some pirate paraphernalia. The trip is way overpriced, not worth $65 in the least. The liquor is watered down, bartenders are not friendly and the snacks are cheese it's. It's great for them just raking in the money for a broken down boat and no entertainment. The crew isn't even dressed like pirates, that would help a bit to give the feeling that you are on a pirate ship. For $65 I expected a lot more than just a 2 hour cruise. Will never go again and recommend that you stay away as well. Gave a new meaning to Arrrr.

Took my pirate-obsessed son, with family and friends, on the Family Fun cruise for his 7th birthday in October 2016. It just so happens that we scheduled for a wet, rainy Saturday. We were the last tour of the day, and I never saw any lag in enthusiasm from the crew. Everyone was excited and ready to have fun, despite the weather. My son definitely had a great time. I imagine that the views would be beautiful in nicer weather. My only critique is that I would like to have seen a broader variety of activities for the children on board. I remember there being face painting, some line dancing, limbo, learning pirate lingo, running back and forth across the boat to shoot the "cannons" and that's pretty much it.
I'll add that right before we boarded, I dropped my iPhone in the parking garage and shattered the screen. I told one of the crew members about it, and he was nice enough to have the bartender make me a free drink!
Over all, a good option for a fun family weekend in DC. Bring your ponchos if it rains.

The Boomerang Pirate Ship is a great summer activity for families with children. The kids had a great time and the adults enjoyed the sightseeing and drinks at the bar. It's an hour long excursion with temporary tattoos, face painting, water spraying cannons and limbo. Perfect amount of time and activities for kids. I would highly recommend to families.

The staff did such a fantastic job!! They seemed to be having a great time entertaining everyone! They kept the kids busy and interacted with them by dancing, giving tattoos, face painting, the limbo and teaching them the pirate slang. It was so much fun looking for and finding Evil Edgar who stole the treasure chest keys and spraying him with water.
I definitely recommend taking your kids for this fun adventure on the Potomac!

We used a voucher, and the trip was well worth it for the discounted price. My daughter loved dancing with the pirates, getting her face painted, and especially shooting the water cannon at Evil Edgar. Not particularly exciting for adults, but the view was great, and it was fun watching the kids enjoy themselves.

I booked Boomerang's Pirate Ship for my sister's hen do. It was just as fun as it looks; made even more fun by the pirate props and costumes we brought ourselves. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Georgetown...who doesn't like spending time on the Potomac and taking in the sights of DC's most famous monuments! Drinks on board were reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and up for a good time. Everyone had a blast.
