Great adventure with my grandkids. Only thing to note is it was 1 1/2 hours from boarding to debarking. However that was plenty enough time to enjoy every moment! Beautiful, peaceful, and entertaining for all. Crew members were excellent. Caution on the steps.

Great for younger kids. Older boys and adults were less engaged in the activities and entertainment.

100% recommend. The grandkids (9 and 2) loved every moment of the experience. Plan to stop by the galley for the hat/sword/eye patch combo for just $15 as well.

Its a must if you have kids under 9

Raqueal_H, Oct 2025
The kids loved it and we loved not having to manage the kids for a second. We saw dolphins breach while the kids were doing "pirate training". We were between this and a dolphin tour but it seemed like a more "adult" environment.

They went all out

MARY_C, Jul 2025
All crew members were very interactive with everyone on the boat- going out of their way in the attempt to gently include even the shyest of children. It was so much fun - we will be highly recommending this adventure to other friends with children.

NANCY_F, Jul 2025
It was a fun cruise on a neat ship! The “pirates” were all courteous and safety -conscious. “Crackin’” and “Ariel” stayed in character during the whole cruise!! As we are locals, we would recommend this adventure to our friends from this area, as well as our extended family and friends from other places.

Our party of 7 that ranged from 6 months old to 70 years old had a great time aboard the buccaneers pirate cruise. The crew did an awesome job keeping the kids engaged, while the adults enjoyed beautiful sights.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thanks so much for your positive review, we're thrilled your whole group had a swashbucklin' time on board the Buccaneer!

Fun but a little boring.

Tamara_S, Jun 2025
This was a short trip in the harbor, the kids did like the water gun fight and sword fights and a piece of the treasure was fun...but for the price i would of thought you did something for the adults. like free drinks and maybe some music. because it was very boring for the adults....
