What a fun day out on the water. I highly recommend this activity for families. Our 4 year olds loved this! The ticket process is super easy and they offer insurance for a small fee. They sent a follow up email a few days with the location and helpful tips. When we arrived we knew just where to go and park. The office/ store had lots of pirate accessories for the kids cheap enough that you didn't mind buying it. The bathrooms were very clean. While the kids wait they teach them the lingo, have pirate tattoos and get them excited for the ride. The ride is about an hour and the crew have the kids engaged the whole time. We picked the 5pm ride and it was a beautiful night out on the water. The staff were all very nice and the kids stayed dry! read more

A great NJ activity for kids... right in Brick Twp.! Kids got painted tattoos, greeted by the crew, and off to a sailing adventure full of activities for the younglings. read more

My grandsons ages 3 and 5 had an AMAZING time! We were greeted with tattoos then learned some talk pirate! The pirate ship comfortably fit us all and the kids were engaged and had such a fun time. The pirate captains were so entertaining to the kids and adults as well. I highly recommend this activity and really was a great time. We will definitely be doing it again. read more

Just book it. End of review. I kid. But seriously, this was an amazing time for our kids (3 and 4). Honestly, I had an amazing time too. This was so much fun for our girls and every other kid on board. We went on a Monday morning where it was $5 off per passenger, which was nice, but even then regular price is absolutely worth it. The two guys on our trip, Spike and Gill were great, so good with the kids and I really appreciate the solid adult humor as well. My kids got soooo into this and were talking like pirates all day. From shooting the water cannon, to pirate tattoos before boarding it was just so much fun. Every time my girls see a buoy now they think it's treasure. The kids get some "grog" and treasure and they loved it. I don't know how I found them, but I am so glad I did. This is a wonderful family friendly activity. I will say it gets crowded with the parents on board trying not to be in each others way while grabbing photos. We are already looking at booking a birthday party here. The gift shop is also not obscenely priced which is good because you know you aren't walking away without a sword or something. Be sure to bring some extra booty/cash to tip the crew. I would also say kids over say age 8 may not have as much fun as others, but still a great time. read more

Grandson loved the water guns. The lady who interacted with children was excellent. The guy in the rowboat who was shooting water at the kids was great! read more

This was so cute and only $30 it's a steal for the adventure you get. Even the stuff at the store was reasonably priced. I was waiting for astronomical fees for everything. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The "pirate captains" on the ship were entertaining and everything ran smoothly so there was no down time for them to be bored. I enjoyed it myself and thought it was well organized. On board, once the treasure is found, kids get their very own goody bag of what I call $1 store junk toys. The ship sailed on time and docked back on time. Beforehand, they did "paint on tattoos" they were really sloppy lol but hey we weren't there for that anyways so no judgement passed. Overall great experience. Would recommend. Wouldn't return simply because there's no anticipation, we know what to expect. Wish there was a way they could do different "themes" so that if you wanted to go back you could and anticipate what's going to happen on board. read more

What an amazing experience for all ages!! For starters, I had missed the entrance and was a bit confused. With no hesitation an employee guided me right back on track while over the phone until I was sure to be on site. Employees from the minute we walked in were so heartwarming and helpful. Each one was in full character as they guided parents and played with kids. We boarded the boat with two pirates. Wish I caught their names! Those to gals were awesome!! I was just so excited and amazed at how engaging they were with everyone! The jokes were great as we laughed from the minute we stepped on the boat to the minute we stepped off. Every child got to participate in the adventure. Even for shy kids, such as one of mine, they still manage to find a way to get her to be a part of the team. Aside from being hands on adventurous, kids receive a goodie bag and a pirate drink. Nice touch to the ending. The decor on the boat and on land is superb! Being a Jersey Pirate is a complete fun filled adventure! Until our next adventure mate! Arrrr! read more

We took our grandson to Jersey Shore Pirates. What a great day at Jersey Shore Pirates! From start to finish the staff is wonderful. Starting with my wife's initial contact to email exchanges to reservations were all handled easily and professionally. You are asked to arrive a 1/2 hour before departure time. You walk into a small yard where you are greeted by staff members. There the kids can have their faces painted or receive tattoos. There's also a trunk filled with costumes for the kids to wear. After the face painting a staff member gets the little Pirates together for some pirating lessons. We then boarded the pirate ship to start our adventure. The young pirate crew are typically ages 3 to 11 and were ably Led by Captain Mako and First Mate Pearl. The young crew are kept busy from the time we leave the dock to the return. From searching for the pirate map and keys to the treasure chest on the ship. Or, searching for the X on the river to recovering pirate booty from the river, the young pirates were totally engaged. The pirate ship is equipped with water cannons on both sides which came in handy for the sea battle with the dangerous Pirate Pete. The crew rose to the occasion during the pitched battle and was victorious. The crew shared in the pirate booty when they recovered the pirate chest from the water. The weather was beautiful, the river calm and the Jersey Shore Pirates in charge of our journey. It was just a wonderful day. I can't say enough about our experience here. There was music playing during the entire trip. Much of it timed to the activity at hand. Reservations are strongly recommended! read more

Celebrated my sons 4th birthday party and overall we all had a great time except for the lack of communication from the pirates! I feel as though they could have done better with communicating with our party. When we arrived, we were told that each kid (within our party) would get a sword and a pirate hat. We were told where they had to go to get them. After this the pirates were supposed to do face painting and a skit before boarding the boat; well the pirates started the skit without telling us all to gather around. I, being the birthday day party mom, was never told about the face painting so that I can then tell the kids within our party. I then, go to the counter and ask the lady at the counter about the face painting and she said that the kids should have gotten it done before the skit and that they were told. Nobody in our party seemed to know that they could get face painting. Considering the amount of money that they charge for a party, you would think that they would communicate better. Other than the lack of communication; the skit and boat ride were really cute and worth it. The party room was roomy and the entire place decorated really cute! read more

Great experience for the adults and the children! The staff was funny and attentive. Would recommend!

All I have to say is PHENOMENAL!!! My only complaint is that I can't give this 10 stars! From the second you arrive, you are greated by the pirate crew who really seem like they love what they do. Every single person is amazing with children. We went today for Father's Day. Dads and grandpas were free. The crew makes all kids feel like a pirate... even the shy kids. Kraken took the time to go over to each kid who was shy and get them involved. Every kid has the opportunity to dress up and get pirate tattoos for no extra charge. Neither the kids or the adults were bored for one second...it's action packed! And there are so many jokes from the crew...we were cracking up the whole time. Captain Crush and Kraken absolutely "crushed" the cruise! We were all thoroughly impressed and will be coming back. Worth every penny!!!!! read more

Quite unique and interactive (the word is now misused for unreal games and comp apps). Not very expensive. Excellent staff makes the entire experience for kids memorable.

Captain stripes and her first mate sapphire where fantastic! My son is shy and my daughter was an over tired mess. They were so helpful involving the shy one and distracting the tired one. They went above and beyond their jobs- which they performed fantastically! I highly recommend this attraction! read more

The gentleman who owns/runs the business is very unprofessional and rude. He has spoken to myself and quite a few of my guests who were trying to book with disrespect.

I'm not surprised in the least that Jersey Shore Pirates has nothing but 5-Star reviews. We (three kids, three adults) visited today. From the 1st minute there till the last, the staff was absolutely superb...they were 100% invested in the performance. Our kids had a blast, and so did us adults. I was even "framed" as having stolen the x-mark from the map and got to play a little part in the show, to the delight of my kids. Really a fantastic operation...I would recommend without hesitation. Well done!! read more

What an awesome day in the high seas with Captain Striper and Mate Flounder! We found booty, had grog, sprayed Pirate Pete and so many laughs and smiles! We WILL be back! read more

Worth every penny! We had a marvelous birthday party for my child. The personnel was helpful and attentive. The whole party consists of three parts: 1. The guests are gathering, hanging out; for the kids two "pirates" are painting tattoos and faces. There is also a warm up (instructional) part for children when they "learn" a pirate language. 2. Sailing. Amazing! Fun for kids, romantic for adults. The children are busy and being entertained by the crew every single minute. The grown ups are sitting relaxed and enjoy the ride. The theme music played as a background changes depending on the phase of the trip and creates the right mood. 3. Party room (should be purchased additionally or as part of the package): food is not included in any package, however the manager Jessica advised where to order pizza (do it in advance) and she helped serve the food and a birthday cake. My concern was not having the "whole package", including the meal, at once. But it appeared not to be a problem. A couple of words about the staff. This is a family business. The owners/managers and the "pirate crew" are very attentive and productive. They actually play the roles of pirates, wear costumes, and entertain kids professionally, with the full energy. Before the party I was asked to email the kids' names. At the party every child got a sticker/name tag put on the t-shirt: the child's real name and the pirate nickname (very cool!). So every staff member knew and called every child by name. It's very engaging, all the kids felt involved. So I highly recommend Jersey Shore Pirates. We had an unforgettable party! read more

This was a great way to spend an afternoon with the kids! My girls (5&7) loved this! From the minute we got to the pier, the staff was friendly and in character. All the kids got face paint or tattoos before they boarded the ship. My girls loved dressing up like pirates and learning how to "speak" pirate! The staff and crew made each kid feel special, calling each one by name- even though there was at least 25 onboard. Every child helped look for the treasure map and helped battle the "Stinky Pirate", before sharing the treasure! Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it. Tip: bring a sweatshirt, it can get chilly on the "high seas". read more

Jersey Shore Pirates - Great day on the high-seas! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Even though my two-year olds were too young to really enjoy or 'get' the adventure - it was still a blast from start to finish. The cast/crew were all top-notch with their energy and commitment, the story was well-paced and interesting the entire time (what kid wouldn't love to fire a water canon at an evil pirate?) and the bonus: perfect weather right as the sun was setting. Highly recommended if you have (not too) young ones. read more

Loved this place! Super service and all the kids had a wonderful time! And the "play" on the boat was entertaining for adults top because the cast was funny. Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a unique birthday experience for your child. Even the party room is decorated with the whole pirate theme and didn't need any additional decorations. Also loved that for $25 we were able to purchase an SD card of all the HD pics taken from the top of the mast using the ship's HD camera. What a great surprise! It is expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Well worth it! read more

My daughter had a fantastic time (the adults did, too!!) #1 place for family fun in my book :D I would even rank this up with a Disney experience since it was THAT interactive and fun for the kids.... Yes, that is a bold statement, but it is my honest opinion. The whole crew went above and beyond to make sure the cruise was a success, and Ariel was a real treat! That day was every kid's dream! I won't give away any of the fun adventures that happen on the journey... No spoilers! Just know that fun, friendly, SAFE adventure awaits! read more

Great activity during nice summer day! Kids get dressed up and get tattooed. The staff is very friendly and pleasant. If you are looking for an earlier show even during the week I would recommend reserving in advance as seats sell out fast. The price is very reasonable, especially if you are coming from New York. Parking is available. I would recommend adding a trip to Point Pleasant as it's only few minutes away. My son is 8 and it was ok, but younger kids were having a blast vs just a good time. read more

Such a great activity to do with the little ones. Jersey Shore Pirates was all about entertaining the kids, while the parents get to sit back and relax! Even though my 3 year old son is very reserved and did not want to participate, the staff made sure he was included in ways that made him feel comfortable. We really appreciated that because it's easy to overlook the quiet kids. He loved shooting the "bad pirate" with the water cannons! read more

We went to Virginia and the DC area for our last weekend getaway of 2017 before school starts. On our way back home to the NYC area on labor day, we decided to stop by Jersey Shore Pirates for that one last summer adventure. Oh boy, I'm glad we did. This turned out to be one of the highlight of our trip. My kid (and us, the parents) had so much fun! Everyone that worked there looked like they really enjoy interacting with the kids. We couldn't say enough good things about the place. read more
