Ahoy Matey! 5 stars! - As residents of Ohio, we are about 12 hours into our trip home, and my 3 y/o and 5 y/o have not stopped talking about Capt. Bones, Skully, Sandy and, of course, Stinky Pete! Such a great, interactive experience! Highly recommend.

Fun for our young children! - The kids had a blast. My older two are very independent but my youngest was a little reserved. The girls noticed right away and made sure she was involved! Silly fun for the kids and the adults get a boat ride for an hour with entertainment for the kids. My shy youngest asked to go again after it was over and loved her pirate teachers! Group of college age kids lead the kids (adult captain drove the boat) and they were great. And we can’t forget about Stinky Pete and Clean Kevin!

Best Morning Ever - Best Morning Ever- My husband and I took our 5 year old grandson for this fabulous adventure! It was so well done- cool pirate ship, fun crew who were great for kids and told corny jokes that even the parents enjoyed! The best part was the kids shooting the water cannons at Stinky Pete the bad pirate that had the keys to the real treasure chest! He was such a good sport being blasted and trying to stab the kids with a foam sword! Be sure and pay for the upgrade to get the bandanna, eye patch, sword, and autographed flag!

Swashbuckling Day on the Bay. - Our recent voyage aboard the Hilton Head Pirate Ship Adventure Cruise was nothing short of ARRRRGH-mazing! Stinky Pete, Scurvy, and Skully were absolutely hilarious! My nephew was beaming with pride as he helped hoist the Jolly Roger! A family-friendly adventure and a touch of pirate mischief, this is an absolute must. We are excited to return. Thank you, Stinky Pete, Scurvy, Skully, and the Captain, for an unforgettable day on the bay! ‍️️

A Great Time for Kids and Their Families - This exceeded our expectations. We signed up our 8yo grandson. We didn’t get any extras, which was good, because he didn’t want a bandana or eye patch, but for a little over the ticket price you can add on some pirate extras. The crew started about 15 minutes early, and kids could get face painting and tattoos; they got name badges (and could add a pirate name if they liked) and then had a lesson in speaking pirate. After that we all trooped off to the ship. The kids all sat on a low bench at the bow, and there was plenty of seating, including shaded seats, for parents or grandparents. The crew was great, interacting enthusiastically with the kids, singing pirate songs and teaching them about pirate etiquette. They had to find the treasure map, then find the treasure itself, with a battle against Stinky Pete and Smelly, who tried to steal the treasure. Eventually the kids prevail, and the treasure is shared among them. The crew made sure everyone knew the rules about sharing, so each kid got a chance to aim the water cannons at Stinky Pete and Smelly. The kids were fully engaged for the full 90 minutes, and all left happy - and the crew can take all the credit for that. I highly recommend this pirate adventure!

Awesome pirate experience! - This is an amazing experience for kids under 10! The staff are energized, hilarious, and make sure to include every child. They even include the parents! Our older daughter (14) was welcomed even though she didn’t participate in a lot of the ‘little-kid’ stuff. Pirates of Hiltonhead does a fabulous job. They also have many souvenirs for purchase/items included to take from their experience.

Poor communication and over priced - Poor communication regarding cancellation when it was obvious the weather was bad. Also paying full price for a 3 year old is unreasonable. You have to pay $9.00 to enter the park and the tour company is aware ofvthis.
