Fun for young kids on the Black Sparrow - Our young kids had a blast on the pirate cruise. They were entertained by the crew and loved using the water cannons. The staff did a great job. I would recommend for ages 3-8.

ARrrrrrrr Matey - 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!

Argh, matey! - 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!

Worth every penny! - 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 !!

Best stinky Pete! - If you’re visiting Hilton Head with kids, Hilton head pirate ship is an absolute must-do! This place was such a hit with the little ones in our group—they had an amazing time from start to finish. The entire experience is fun, interactive, and perfectly designed for kids, with a playful pirate theme that keeps them engaged the whole time. The course is well-maintained, easy enough for younger children to enjoy, but still entertaining for adults too. What really stood out was the staff—you can genuinely tell they love what they do and enjoy being around kids. They were friendly, welcoming, and helped make the experience even more special. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend for families looking for something fun to do together! 🏴‍☠️

A MUST-DO trip for families! - From the moment we stepped on board in Hilton Head, this pirate cruise delivered. The kids were immediately brought into the adventure—getting their official pirate names and even “tattoos,” which they took very seriously. Squirt the Pirate was incredible, keeping the energy high and making every kid feel like part of the crew. We set sail and, as if it couldn’t get any better, we spotted dolphins swimming alongside us—such a cool, unexpected bonus. Then came the hunt for Pirate Frog, which had the kids completely locked in and on a mission. And just when you think the excitement has peaked… the epic pirate battle begins. Water cannons, shouting, full commitment—the whole thing. Our kids were ALL IN and absolutely loved every second. It was interactive, well-run, and packed with moments that kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Easily one of the highlights of our trip.

Pirate ship adventure - 2nd year going on this cruise. Well worth the $$. Kids are kept entertained the entire time. A few new additions this year were drinking a cup of pirate "rum", a victory dance around the ship, and a certificate. My grandchildren were just as excited this year as they were last year, especially after collecting their share of the treasure.
