Make your own way to the pier in Harbour Town for your pirate cruise from Hilton Head Island.
Before boarding the pirate ship, the crew provides the kids with costume gear, face paint, and temporary tattoos for an authentic pirate look, along with a pirate name, and a lesson on walking and talking like a pirate. When ready, step aboard the ship and sail the seas in search of the treasure chest.
In order to find the treasure, kids read the map and help to defeat a rival pirate named Stinky Pete, unleashing the water cannons in the process. All of the pirates get a share of the loot to take home after beating Stinky Pete and getting to the treasure.

The staff was amazing! They were completely in character the whole time and made it such a fun experience for the kids and by extension the adults. My 4 and a half year old grandson had the most magical experience. I am so glad that we did this. Even the one year old had fun! I would recommend to anyone with a 3-7 year old !!

A fun time was had by all --- Connie (4yo) plus meemaw & peepaw. The staff provided an abundance of interactive entertainment. The girls were amazing. Connie enjoyed knocking Stinky Pete off the boat the most!

Our young Kids had a blast on the pirate ship. Crew was engaging and playful. We had our kids dress up in Pirate outfits. It enhanced their experience. Their favorite part was using the water cannon's to hose Stinky Pete.

Just such a fun excursion for our family which consisted of four kids ages 6-12. The four adults enjoyed as well

This was a wonderful experience for our three and six-year-old granddaughters. It was very upbeat and kept the kids engaged. . They learned about pirates. . The cast made it so much fun. The Dolphins were also held that day that was an extra bonus. I would highly recommend this experience.

So much fun for the kids! Be sure to get there early to get pirate gear, tattoos, and face painting. Kids are in the sun on the boat so apply sunscreen before excursion time because the fun starts immediately. There is shade on the boat for those who want to keep out of the sun. Don’t miss this one!

The kids and adults had a great time on this well-organized activity. The staff is awesome and made it a very memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Wonderful interactive experience for 3-6 year old.
Children find pirate map, treasure & fight off pirate with water cannons.
Ryann_H, May 2026
GREAT family experience. The crew knew exactly how to interact with the kids, and they kept us adults entertained as well. This was a highlight for our trip, and our son talked about it nonstop the rest of the weekend.
Janet_B, May 2026
A memorable day for a 5 year old! Easy to book, easy to amend booking and easy-ish to find - leave plenty of time as finding a parking spot may take a little while. We loved the ladies at the booth before departure. And we haven’t even mentioned the trip
Itself! So many fun activities and fun mates - perhaps read other comments for all the details (although don’t read too much, come and be surprised!). We loved them all particularly the water cannon as Stinky Pete tried to board. Exceeded expectations. 5 year old said can we do it again! And we will.
Irina_P, Apr 2026
A lot of fun for the kids. The crew was entertaining and our children loved the water cannons and the treasure. Sparkle, Skully, Captain Bones and Stinky Pete were excellent!

This was so genuinely fun for my 7 year old son. He’s been talking about it and wanting to see my pictures and videos of him spraying the pirate. He asked if we could go back, and if he could have his birthday party on the ship. We live 6 hours away, so that’s unlikely, but it was well worth the tickets. So much fun, and silly!

Great experience for kids few 3-10. High energy staff and friendly captain. Give yourself plenty of time to find parking.

The host and boat ride was fantastic. Kept everyone engaged, including parents/adults in pirate theme. Would def recommend for little ones. We would come back to do again.
Luz_T, Mar 2026
8 and 5 year old loved it! It was so fun and the parents are able to sit back and just enjoy the ride. Would def. recommend. Piraye Squirt, Silver and the captain have great energy.

Other than being hot the experience was good. The crew was excellent and very friendly. Stinky Peter was stinky
Courtney_G, Aug 2025
Discovered this excursion while at Harbortown Pier on HHI and immediately booked it for the next day! My three year old loved it and even got to open the treasure chest!
Cathie_B, Mar 2025
Great vibe, fun for the kids! Even got the adults involved! Great crew, glad we decided to book this!
Lance_R, Oct 2024
The interactive pirate tour got the kids very excited and made our vacation even more memorable. Thanks again.
Andrew_B, Oct 2024
This was a well done family experience, and the crew/staff did a wonderful job. They played their pirate characters, and did great with the kids. Our four year old daughter who is more into princesses than pirates, said it was the best day of her life!
Tracey_H, Oct 2024
This was great fun for the kids!! The female pirate Scurvy was fantastic! What a treat! Would highly recommend
Haley_M, Oct 2024
It was all wonderful! Never dreamed the kids would have so much fun! My 4 year old loved getting her treasure and my 7 year old loved shooting the bad guy with water cannons! It was wonderful getting out on the water and the staff was fabulous! Couldn’t have asked for a better adventure for the kids! Thank you all so much! We’ll be back for sure!

Loved the way all the children were involved. Our grandson had a blast once he felt comfortable enough to to join in. The captain seemed a bit tired ; not overly involved.
My main recommendation would be to not book as many passengers because many of the adults were not able to see the kids from where they had to sit.
Donita_R, Sep 2024
This experience was awesome. Scurvy was very good at keeping all the kids entertained but yet behaving. My 3 year old grandson loved it.
Leah_L, Sep 2024
The kids absolutely loved this. We got to see somewhere around 15-20 dolphins. Also the crew was very entertaining for the kids. Comfortable boat to ride and safe. Highly recommend if you have children to do this at least once.
Abbey_B, Sep 2024
The acting was incredible- scurvy had an amazing rapport with the kids. The captain sailed our ship with expertise. It was a smooth ride and very fun overall

The kids firing the water cannons at stinky Pete. There needs to be more shade on the boat and they should let the kids wet each other.
Danyail_S, Aug 2024
We loved it all! It was very interactive, and the kids had a great time! Ever did a great job, thank you guys!
Suzanne_D, Aug 2024
Everyone was great. Super caring towards all the kids and made sure everyone had a great time. This is mainly for kids but watching my kids enjoy this was so much fun
