We took my 2 kids and 4 nieces/nephews and had an absolute blast! (Kids ranged 2-9). The staff was super friendly and engaging and they put on an amazing show! Highly reccomend! read more

Took our 5 year old grandson and he loved it! The crew does an awesome job entertaining young kids. The kids were kept busy (essential for this age group) the entire trip read more

Pirate Adventures Hyannis was so much fun, from start to finish. Before the voyage, our five year-old twins received pirate vests and temporary tattoos. We also paid for them to receive eye patches, hooks, and swords. During the voyage, they played games, raised flags, and found (and took home) some treasure. The crew were absolutely amazing as the pirates of the Sea Gypsy. See you next year, me mateys! read more

Pirate Adventures Hyannis - The Sea Gypsy - Two children, a boy and a girl, dressed as pirates with face paint and pirate costumes, stand on a concrete dock in front of a pirate-themed boat at a marina. The boy holds a plastic sword, and both children wear sunglasses. The boat, named 'Sea Gypsy,' is decorated with a pirate flag and a sign advertising pirate adventures. The background features a blue sky with scattered clouds, water, and other boats docked at the marina. - Boat Charters Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

This ride was just ok. The experience would have been great (as you can read in other reviews) except the folks running the experience did not make sure all kids got to take turns. for example, during the ride they get to shoot water cannons. They do this 4 times. The older and pushier kids didn't let the younger kids get a turn and the "pirate leaders" did nothing to help. Another example is when kids find the treasure. Kids are told to just take a handful. The older and pushy kids ran up first taking more than one handful. Then when my kids did finally get their turn if they dropped anything on the floor the bratty kids picked it up and took it from them. the parents are in the back so it's hard to monitor this yourself. The pirate leaders need to do a better job of making sure all kids get their turn. Everyone pays the same amount. Very disappointing and my kids actually cried after. read more

This was an outstanding adventure for our 2 Granddaughters ages 4 and 7. The trip included a treasure map, traitor pirates, water cannons and honest-to-gosh buried treasure!! The crew was lively and kept the kids active, involved and entertained for the whole event. Highly recommended!! read more

Excellent! The pirates keep the kids (and adults!) entertained from start to finish. Strongly recommend taking your 4 to 8 year old. And get the sword. You can pass on the eye patch and hook if you choose, but most kids will have a sword. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Our 4yr old daughter had an absolute blast! The staff is so great with kids. Before you board the boat you can have your face or hand painted with a shark, mermaid or crossbones. You get a pirate vest to wear for the ride and you can buy a foam sword for $4 or eyepatch for $1 to wear. They do songs, dances and search for treasure and avoid a sea monster on board. It is so cute! They also get to blast "cannons" which shoot out water. I can't say enough good things for the ticket price. Take your kid!!! read more

So much fun! Our 3 and 5 year olds loved it! So interactive and fun. My husband and I were saying it would probably be more realistic of the staff dressed like pirates, but they did an awesome job overall! read more

Love love love! My son is into pirates and this was so perfect and cute for him. All the kids had a great time on this interactive pirate adventure. Get their 15 minutes early to check in, get your pirate name and face/body painting! Board the pirate ship and enjoy the storytelling and ride around the harbor. Best part was using the water cannons!! One thing that would be nice is to have everyone in costume. Only the captain was in costume and the 2 storyteller/actors were just in shorts and shirts. Although we went on the early first trip and it was already crazy hot so I can understand why they wouldn't want to. Expensive but worth it! Especially if your kid is into pirates. They sell styrofoam swords, eye patches and bandanas at the checkin stand. read more

We were very pleased with the adventure. The crew does a very good job and the whole concept is awesome for little ones. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of five is that their listed appropriate age is for kids 3-12 years old. My 7 year old loved it, but my 10 year old found it kind of boring. Also we noticed some 3 and 4 year olds get scared. So - the best age group for this trip is probably 4-8. read more

Very fun and we'll-run experience. Would Highly recommend for children and adults with young kids. Went with a 3 year old - perfect amount of time and engaged the whole time. read more

This was a great adventure for our daughter. The crew was very interactive and engaged the whole time!

We took the kids on this adventure today after we ordered tickets online a week ago. Right off the bat the kids were having a good time and one of the crew even jumped off the ship to sword fight with all the kids waiting to board the boat. I won't spoil the activities but trust me the reviews are great for a reason. It's an awesome activity for the kids and well worth the money. read more

The crew was amazing. Funny for the kids and added adult humor. I found myself smiling and laughing the entire time. My kids were so involved and it's sometimes hard to engage them in anything but they did such a nice job keeping all the kids involved! The ride felt safe and slow. Really adorable, my kids are 4 and 6. They loved it. The treasures were cute and the kids were so excited about finding real treasure! But the crew again, so fun! Nice job! I expected the boat to be bigger and the staff to be dressed up. But really I don't have anything to complain about! read more

We loved this. More importantly, the kids really loved it. Definitely worth the money. The crew makes this cruise very interactive and silly. Our little bunch were playing pirate the whole rest of the day. Make sure to spring for the sword at least. read more

My mateys and I took to the seas on 7/21. Me crew comes to the Cape every summer; but we haven't been brave enough to walk the plank -- until now. Blimey! Me seven buccaneers and I had a squashbucklin time! We had a blast and the crew was excellent! read more

This is a must do in Hyannis. It's the best attraction in town for a 4-year old and the jokes and whole production was great entertainment for the parents too. We are in love with this boat trip (it's really an incredibly well choreographed show that will keep your kids attention for a full hour plus from the time of departure to when you get back). My son wanted all the pirate accessories and he has now had plenty to play with back at the house also. read more

We had an amazing time one the pirate ship! The crew was great with the kids, so interactive. Water gun fights and finding treasure! Our daughter had an amazing time and couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the weekend!! Thank you so much for an awesome experience! read more

So much fun!! My son really enjoyed it ! I highly recommend this to anyone who has young children! read more

Great activity for kids and smiles for parents too! We were waffling on doing it based on the cost per person but was money well spent. The cute factor was sky high and the crew was great with the kids and quick witted for the parents. Highly recommend it for families with young ones! read more

What a great family adventure!! The captain and crew of the Sea Gypsy VIII did a fantastic job engaging the children in searching for treasure and defeating evil pirates (as well as tiring them out hoisting flags and doing the limbo). This was a perfect end-of-summer outing! read more

This was so much fun, even for the adults! We will be back again next year!!! Thank you to an amazing crew, our kiddos will remember this forever. read more

Although the actual attraction is a lot of fun, I can not recommend it based on my most recent experience. Our grandson was hospitalized the day before our scheduled ride on the pirate ship. So we called to inform Pirate Adventures so they could fill our spot. No one returned our call so we drove to the dock early in the morning to let them know. Despite our efforts, we received a phone call that afternoon asking why we weren't there and informing us that our tickets were non refundable. We explained that our grandson was at Mass General Hospital in Boston and very ill. We understood the no refundable policy and said they could keep our money, we needed a rain check for a new date. The response was "no way"! Seriously?! Who are these people who cannot make an exception for a seriously ill child? Extremely disappointing to say the least!!! read more

We had made reservations a week prior for a 10:45 cruise on a Monday, since it was on our way off the Cape. On the Saturday before, we decided to see if we could switch to the 12:15 cruise instead. They called me back on Monday morning at 7:30 and said, 'no problem. we'll switch you to that cruise'. They called back an hour later and said that they were canceling the 12:15 cruise and that all the other cruises were sold out for the day, including the one we had just switched from an hour ago. They stated they were canceling for weather, though ALL the other cruises that day went out and it was a beautiful sunny day. They also said that we were the only people on that cruise (a party of 5). So - first off - tell the truth. Don't say you're canceling for weather. Secondly, don't let us switch and say no problem and then cancel the cruise! My child and his cousin (3 and 4 years old) had been carrying around the pamphlet for 3 days. They cried and didn't understand why they couldn't go on the pirate adventure. We were leaving the Cape that day right after the planned 90 minute cruise. They broke their hearts. It was extremely rude and when I told them they basically screwed us by saying that it was no problem to switch and then canceling 60 minutes later, she said 'no, you screwed yourself when you switched your reservation'. How's that for customer service? read more

My boys ages 7.5 and 4 absolutely loved it. They did such an amazing job keeping the kids entertained.

Took my boys, 5 and 10 yes old. That's about the age range for this adventure. They loved it! Definitely worth the price. Well organized, great crew. I'd expect it's a trip-by-trip basis as far as how fun your crew will be but Hurricane on the land, Slash and Danger on the boat, I can vouch for are excellent entertainers. Tip for parents, just sit in the back of the boat and relax. Don't hover over your kids, it ruins the experience. read more

Fantastic adventure for the kids, and even fun for the adults. It was high energy, the kids were kept engaged during the entire 90 minute trip. Treasure maps, hauling up a real treasure chest, and fending off rogue pirates with water cannons. Worth every dime! read more

Great fun for little kids. The staff are super enthusiastic, and the pirate adventure is clever - you take a pirate ship out into the harbor, battle a rival pirate, and locate a key and a treasure chest. Totally worth it. Go for an early ride - the noon and afternoon rides seem like they'd be oppressively hot. read more

We had the greatest time on the Pirate Adventures. There is activities from the kids right from the start and they were entertained the entire ride. The kids sit in the front and the parents get to watch from the back of the boat. It was so fun watching them engaged and truly excited about the adventure. The water cannons were a blast. Thoughtful touches from raising a banner with their names on it, to face painting and eye patches. Seems a bit expensive at first, but well worth it. Entertaining for adults too. We brought 3 children ages 4-8. Enjoy!! read more

This activity was just OK - maybe the prior reviewers were in the back of the boat on their cell phones and thought it was fine because they were on Facebook and not paying attention. I was looking at all the kids reactions and while they were not bored...can't say they were all the excited consistently. One reviewer saying that they stayed in character the whole time? Is being in character wearing a floral swimsuit and a t-shirt? Captain got us out and back safely and the views were nice but I wouldn't strongly recommend or consider this a Cape Cod must do with kids. read more

Our 4 year old had a blast on this excursion. This is definitely not a tourist trap, the staff puts the work in to ensure that the kids are engaged for the whole trip (about an hour and a half). A first-rate experience that can't be matched for the money. read more

We took my 5 year old son on the Pirate Adventures Hyannis on our Cape Cod vacation. He loved it. He loved the interactive adventure. He still talks about beating "Splash" the pirate with the cannons. My husband and I enjoyed watching the adventure unfold and along with the boat ride. The adventure was just long enough and engaging enough to make it a great value. read more

If you have young children this is a must. Such a fun time and great ride out in harbour for grown ups as well. Staff is so professional and kids (young adults) acting as pirates are so charming. read more

Fantastic boat ride for the adults, fun adventure for kids 4-7ish. Great value, ALL OF US enjoyed it!

We happened to spot this pirate ship while we were on a ferry headed toward Martha's Vineyard. I quickly looked up the info because every single child looked ridiculously happy. I called up and spoke to an incredibly helpful woman to book our adventure. She took the time to ask my child's name and age and explained in great detail what the pirate tour would include. Very important to get there prior to the sail to take part in the skit/pirate activities. Customer service over the phone was amazing... very friendly and very informative. My child had an amazing time... she was involved and entertained throughout the pirate adventure and cannot stop talking about it. The people on the ship were amazing... never broke character and kept all the kids happy. We had to pay extra for a foam sword and pirate hook but it was no big deal. They also served the kids cream soda. It was a great time and I definitely recommend going! Have a great time read more

A great morning out with our 4 year old son and 5 year old daughter! They had a blast getting dressed up, being out on the boat, looking for landmarks and treasure, fighting off the bad guy, and dancing around the boat. It was just the right amount of time, and the crew and captain were great with the kids. We all had a lot of fun - worth the money, and a unique experience, as far as we've seen. In my opinion, this is perfect for ages 3-6. read more

FUN for everyone! Took a 2 yr old, 5 yr old and 7 yr old and they all had a blast. You can really tell that the crew really enjoy what they do. This is a definite must do if you have kids! read more

Went this weekend with my 5 yr old son, a 4 year girl and 4 year old boy. They LOVED it! It was action packed and interactive for the entire 90 minutes. They got to use a treasure map, find the treasure, and fire water cannons at a mangy pirate. So fun! Even fun for the parents - the crew was hilarious and stayed in character for the whole journey. The kids I brought were beside themselves with excitement the whole time, and the staff worked to make sure every single kid was engaged. I felt it was a terrific value for the money. read more

I have a 3 year old son who was very excited bout going on a pirate adventure but the do not allow babies in carriers. I'm sure it is a great time but if you have little ones make sure you get a sitter before you book. read more

I thought my kids (ages 4 and 8) would enjoy this adventure, but what I didn't expect was how much I would enjoy it! The ship is lovely, the views fantastic, and the pirate story was way more involved than I had imagined. The crew was terrific with the kids, engaging them in battle even before we boarded the boat. Once aboard, I was impressed by how dynamic the crew was. They had every single kid absorbed for the entire 90 minutes. They were funny (with a couple of jokes aimed specifically at the parents, probably to make sure we weren't falling asleep), dynamic, and so sweet. At one point, my 4 year old daughter lost her place on the lookout bench, and one crew member bent down to talk to her and then made sure she got her spot back. It's little things like that which make a shy little girl's day. And my son is already asking when we can go again. If you have a chance, GO! It is worth the money. read more
