Looked for something different to do on the water with 10 adults. Party boats were too expensive so I booked a sunset cruise. The 9 people in our party reluctantly agreed to go to appease me. We arrived at the dock and sat waiting for the previous cruise to return with a mix of young children, teens, couples and adults. Once we set sail, the spirited, high energy DJ had our attention. She played a mix of current music & rock favorites. Before I knew it, we were all up dancing. My adult daughter said to me ten minutes in that she thought the cruise wasn’t ups be a downer, but that she was glad she came and was having fun. The bar was a plus with drink specials! Another daughter, as she got off the boat, said to me that you can’t go wrong with a DJ and bar. We had a fun time and everyone onboard enjoyed the cruise. Our party of 10 had a great time and everyone said they were pleasantly surprised.

The Black Pearl sunset cruise has become a summer tradition. We first took the interactive pirate excursion when our son was young, and then switched to the sunset cruise when he became a teen. The sunset cruise is a fun way to get out on the water with family and friends, enjoy music, a cocktail, and the awesome LBI sunsets. It never disappoints!

Terrific time for the whole family. Pirate Knobby Knees with the help of Pirate Pete and Captain Salty kept the kids engaged throughout the one-hour sail. Special shout out for care taken during this COVID time. Money and time well spent for wonderful memory making. Aye!

After 27 years of being a home owner on LBI, this was the first chance that we had to experience the Black Pearl sunset tour. The tour was relaxing and actually a lot of fun. Discussions with Captain Frank were very informative regarding the history of LBI and Little Egg Harbor - and his mastery of the ship was impressive. The actual level of enjoyment on the ship was evident. Music and dancing activities were provided by the DJ Anita … she was fabulous! Her energy level and ability to engage the passengers and lead the entertainment was truly of professional quality. This is definitely a worthwhile and reasonable experience. (PS: We heard that the earlier cruise as a pirate experience for the kids is also excellent!)

My wife son and I went on the sunset cruise on 06/17/22 and everything was awesome including the weather. There is music on board and the young lady employee was dancing with guests and the little kids making it enjoyable for everyone. As an added bonus they have alcoholic drinks for the adults that you can purchase and enjoy the sunset! If you are on LBI take the time to book this sunset cruise you and your family will not be disappointed!

Our family consisting of grandparents, parents and young children had a wonderful time on the Black Pearl evening cruise. There were some pirates, a DJ playing music and some dancing so it was better than your typical sedate evening cruise. The folks running the cruise were very nice and friendly. Highly recommended for all families.

If you don’t have a great time it’s your issue. The crew works extremely hard to ensure a great time by all...and they seem to love what they do, Great music and atmosphere. Thank you to the excellent DJ bartender and friendly people along the coast who joined in the fun. Highly recommend,

Well organized. Young lady who led the trip was wonderful--fun, made the trip a lot of fun. She especially helped make the COVID-19 parameters clear and kept all the guests safe by making sure they were followed.

Last minute I booked the experience for my 5yo daughter and I. I didn’t know to bring cash for the extras (eyepatches, swords) but she didn’t care. We had the BEST time - the actors were funny and engaging, particularly for the younger kids. I didn’t drink but the cash bar was open (I think it was $25 minimum if you used a cc). I recommended it to several friends and they booked. I’m returning in two weeks. We’re also going to try the sunset cruise w our friends one night. Highly recommend!

Awesome views of the sunset; possibly the best on the island. Also, check out the twilight cruises when available, with amazing views of the island at night. The crew is fantastic! I can't say enough good things about them, our cruise director (Annie D'Bloom) did an awesome job. She really made it fun for the guests of all ages and really encouraged everyone to dance and have a good time; even the people waving from docks, streets, other boats, etc! Captain always does a nice job sailing the bay, I didn't get seasick at all and I sometimes do. Fantastic overall experience, the kids pirate excursions also look really fun for the kids! Really enjoyed this, I will definitely be coming back next summer!

Yes! I would say this excursion is entertaining for kids of all ages, especially 4-10 year olds. It's simply fun to be on the ship. And it's only an hour, so it'll be over before they can get bored.

Do we have to purchase the pirate costumes and accessories or do we borrow it from you?
Written June 20, 2017
Most of the costume you can borrow. The eye patches, swords, guns, etc. are for sale (but are cheap!)

Will I get sea sick? I tend to get sea sick on most cruises/ large boats. Anyone take this and NOT get sick who usually do?
Written July 26, 2016
The boat goes very slow and stays on the bay side, so no real waves to speak of. It goes about 20 minutes out, stops for a bit, turns and then about 20 minutes back to dock. I saw no one complain of sea sickness (adults or children) and one of my children has been sea sick before.

Is this Excursion appropriate for two year olds?
Written June 21, 2016
I saw several small children on this ride, it was very smooth, calm, slower ride, with all ages having fun, my answer is yes, its not too long of a trip and lots of fun
