Amazing adventure - We had the BEST time on the adventure with Scurvvy, Stormy, and Captain Bones! We have a 7.5 year old and 3.5 year old and this was perfect! I cannot compliment the crew more! They were top notch! Not a minute went by where we weren’t being entertained! The kids had a blast and are still talking about the treasure hunt! The loot they got is still being played with. The interactive aspect made all the difference in the world! The kids were part of every single thing! The water cannons were so fun to watch and everyone had a great time, even the adults! Would recommend 10/10!

Great adventure with kids! - Took the grandkids ages 4&5 on the adventure with their parents. The girls loved it and were very involved and captivated. Their favorite was shooting the water cannons at Smelly Pete. Scurvy and Stormy did an excellent job working with the kids and their enthusiasm was contagious. It even kept the adults entertained. It was hot on the boat and be sure to bring sunscreen. Definitely recommend this activity!

Great for young children! - Our 6 year old granddaughter loved it! Would not recommend for children under 10. Book it through Low Country Watersports, not Viator. They gave us a time that was fully booked.

Fun for the whole family - The whole crew was very friendly and great with the kids. Be sure to arrive early to take advantage of the tattoos and face painting. They also have a great gift shop to buy all the pirate necessities like swords and eye patches

Highly recommend this pirate cruise in HHI - I highly recommend this pirate cruise for kids 2-8. Our 6 year old absolutely loved it and it was his favorite part of our vacation. Scurvy was hilarious and the staff did a great job getting kids and parents involved. Stinky Pete didn’t get away with our treasure…. Arghhhh

What amazing memories... - What amazing memories were made!! My 2 and 3 year old can’t stop talking about fighting off “Stinky Feet” with water cannons and getting the treasure! Huge thanks to Captain Bones and Pirate Sparrow (and Pirate Stinky Feet lol) for such a fun experience for my babies!!

A great trip, enjoyed by all ages! - We had such a great experience today on the pirate adventures! The crew were entertaining, and even got both parents and kids involved in the treasure hunt. As a bonus, we even saw dolphins on the trip. The trip leaves out of the Harbor Village Marina. So, if you are not staying in the Sea Pines area, you will need to buy a day pass to get into Harbor Village. Be aware that the Harbor Village security gate ONLY accepts CASH! The parking can be a little tricky. So, it is best to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes before you are supposed to be there. There is plenty of shopping and ice cream shops for the kids while you wait.

This adventure would be a fun part of anyone's family vacation! - Sparrow was fun, funny, inclusive and great with the little pirates! Despite some hesitancy about being on a boat, Sparrow gently helped our little ones enjoy the experience. Now they want to go on a pirate ship adventure every day!

Fun for Young Kids - We appreciated that there was some shade available since it was a very hot day. Great for young kids. Ages 4 and 8 are still talking about how much fun they had and enjoy looking at the treasure (toys) that was found.

Family Fun - The boat was well ran and very entertaining!!! Our 5 year ild loved every minute. They offer face painting taboos and get the kids so excited before you head down to the boat. Then it is about 90 minutes of pirate excitement. The crew was amazing a d so friendly!!!
