What a great afternoon for my boys ages 3.5 and 5.5. They loved every minute of the experience and the crew made the time fly. Our personal favorite were the surprises along the way… won’t give any spoilers. Definitely a must do for children while visiting Cape Cod.

A great afternoon for our family. My 5 yo is very interested in pirates and this was his special “adventure” this vacation . Our 8yo was initially not interested in going, but ended up loving it and was probably the most enthusiastic of all! From the painted on tattoos to shooting the water cannon we all had a grand time. The staff were enthusiastic and engaging. I would recommend this to anyone w/ kids 4-10yo.

Booked this for our families with 4 young kids more than a week ahead of time. We were staying about 40 minutes away. We left on time to arrive 30 mins early as recommended. Half way into our drive there, I received a call that they had a staffing issue and were canceling our boat trip. They offered to re-book us 4 hours later, but that was too long to occupy the kids in Hyannis, especially if we needed to anticipate another cancellation. They were very apologetic, but it was very short notice, and we were all very disappointed.

We booked a trip on the Pirate Adventure on Friday. We had heard it was fun but had no idea how above and beyond this is – from the tattoos before boarding to one exciting thing after another on board, this is an adventure not to be missed!

My grandson (age 3.5) ) had the time of his life !! The entire staff was so engaging; and there was never a dull moment on this ship. For days later, all my grandson wanted to do is go back on the pirate boat.
Would highly recommend this excursion. You will definitely have a great time !!
