A fun hour cruise along the creek in Murrells Inlet in search of a pirates treasure. Fun entertainment for kids with Pirate Pootie who kept the kids busy and entertained with all the antics a pirate could get into and fun jokes only the parents "got". There is face painting and options to purchase swords, spy glasses, hats, head scarfs and eye patches before leaving the dock. (Parents are informed they can grab a cold beverage from Dead Dog Salon bar to bring onboard.) There is no food or restrooms offered onboard so take care of that before you go. Once the little pirates are onboard and the cruise down the creek begins the kids are given instructions on talking like a pirate and their jobs onboard. There are water canons for blasting when Pirate Pete tries to steal the treasure, flags to hoist, and grobe for toasting. The boat never leaves site of land and mostly just floats around a small area of the creeks behind The Marsh Walk. No worries about being seasick or going into the ocean. A very fun and calm ride. We intended to do the sunset cruise but there wasn't enough tickets sold for that trip so we were changed the day before to a 2:30 trip. Every pirate leaves the ship with a handful of treasure to take home. As soon as we got back to the dock our grandson (7 yrs old) excitedly asked when we could go again! A fun family activity I recommended for all ages. read more

Hands down the most fun you can have on the water with kiddos! The staff is hilarious kind and so much fun they understand that the overall experience is about the kids. The add-on options of telescope eye patch and bandana make for a truly immersive experience. Making sure to get the parents involved as to the authenticity and realism of the experience for the children having games built into it also keeps people engaged and moving. So incredibly glad we booked this for the start of our vacation as we did it the first day because it set the tone for fun and family friendly experiences 1,000% recommend. Would also book a different type of pirate Cruise; maybe for an older kid range due to the fact that we booked this for 8yr twins and a 5.5 year old but could honestly see our three boys loving to go again! Thank you so very much. read more

So glad we did this with the boys. They had a blast. Well done and entertaining. Such a perfect concept for kiddos and good price.

This was probably one of the cutest things for a family. My son turned 6 and we decided to go on the Pirate Adventure. We booked for the sunset cruise which I believe was a little more, it also got cancelled due to "not enough bookings". However, Kelley called and made sure to rebook us, I could be wrong about the price being different for the sunset cruise, but I wasn't offered a price adjustment and was charged additionally for the Pirate paraphernalia. The pirate ship crew did a great job keeping the kids attention and the adults as well w/ their witty jokes! Nevertheless I probably had more fun than my 6 yo read more

Pirate Adventures - Wiener Works sorry excuse as it's called a restaurant! - Boat Charters Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

We took three kids ages 7 through 3 and they all had fun. The routine was entertaining and everyone seemed engaged. The kids got to find treasure, blast a pirate with water, and ride in a pirate ship. The face painting is quick and gets the kids engaged up front, at the start. Plan to buy your kids at least one accessory such as a sword or eye patch to maximize the experience, and they get to wear pirate vests for free. The girl that ran the show did a great job and held the kids' attention. She had lots of energy. The captain was alright, yelling around in the background, but I would have liked to have seen him get more involved. I didn't see the stereotypical parrot on the shoulder or captain's hat, but didn't notice this until after we had left. I would do this again with the kids and the price is reasonable. The overall duration was good, but make sure you hit the bathroom in the neighboring Dead Dog Saloon first. One thing I'd like to see is a deal between these guys and the Dead Dog where you get lunch included afterward (or maybe some coupon). They have you use the saloon's bathroom and are on their lot, and you walk around the saloon to get to the boat. A package deal would be obvious and probably increase traffic to the saloon. read more

Fantastic fun! The staff really play the part and engage the kids! from 3 to 10 years of age all the kids on the ship had a great adventure! I took 3 nephews and they loved it! When grandma asked 3 year old what he like the best he replied, "everything!". The 10 year old said it was great! And the 5 year old who was first to drink the grog was ecstatic! They pulled stuff out of the water like bottles, maps and treasure; hung flags and water cannoned a bad pirate! I highly recommend this great experience for all kids! read more

Pirate Adventures - Using the pirate map to find real sunkin treasures in the ocean! - Boat Charters Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

I highly recommend this adventure for kids 10 years and younger! My twin boys had an absolute blast. From the face painting, to the play swords (extra cost), to the awesome experience on the ship, it was a fun, unique experience. The staff is amazing and the guys did a great job with their pirate character the entire time. The kids got to help the crew search for treasure, hoist flags, spray water cannons at a would-be pirate on a another boat, and drink pirate juice. Parents ride with the kids. Adventure is reasonably priced too. read more

Such a wonderfully put together show! The performers are ultra talented. Our whole party stayed engaged and entertained through the entire show. Important things to note, you cannot bring in a stroller or car seat. Initially I was upset as we have a 4 month old, and the welcoming pirate was rather snarky and sarcastic when he informed us of their rule. Once inside we understood why. The welcoming staff could do a better job at communicating as to why you cannot bring those items in. Overall we would absolutely go again! read more

Pirate Adventures - The ship - Boat Charters Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

This was my three and five year olds' favorite part of our Myrtle Beach trip. Months later they are still talking about it. It was really neat. The workers are really fun and enthusiastic. It's fast paced and totally interactive involving all the kids. In hindsight we realize that we really only needed to have one parent ride the ship with the two kids -- could have saved like $25 by doing that! We thought that the "arrive early to get dressed up" was included in the price but they do gouge you for all the extras- eye patches, swords, hats, etc. read more

Pirate Adventures - This is an amazing memory for my 3 and 5 year old! Definitely worth it! Would do (and will do) again in a heart beat! - Boat Charters Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

We came on a Wednesday in April and there were only two other boys beside mine and the crew still made sure they had a true experience! There was a threat of some rain so the captain took us out a little early so we could make it back before any dangerous weather happened. The Captain and Pirate Scruffy were very entertaining and since there was such few children they let us parents join in at times. My two yr old is a bit stand offish at first but got comfortable and was very involved after a little coaxing. It was fun to see how he got so excited to be a Pirate, Pirate Jumpship Jarrett that is. As an educator it's frustrating when kid activities aren't true all age experiences but this was the perfect activity for all ages and I can't say enough about the crews ability to and patience with the children! Here is a little info the adventure began at 11 but definitely arrive early they paint the children's faces and give them pirate vests. The other accessories are available to purchase. Then head down to the ship and get ready for a fun adventure;). Totally worth the adult fee just to see your child engrossed in a Pirate adventure! Also it is not required but the crew is worth leaving a tip so bring a few dollars to put in the tip jar on the ship! We will definitely be back! read more

What an amazing time! We took our three kids on this one hour chartered pirate adventure and it was the most fun they had on our entire vacation. Not only did the kids have fun, but we had a blast, as well. We highly recommend this to parents for a fun, swashbuckling adventure. The staff was what made this even more magical for the kids and kept us parents entertained, too. We're definitely doing it again when we return next year. Special shout out to Jolly, and we can't forget Dagger and the captain. Ahoy, mates! Til next yearrr! read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. The people were all fantastic and friendly and acted as if they liked their jobs. The face painting, vest and tattoos included in the pricing were great and our kids loved it. The entire boat ride was interactive and fun! This will be the part of our vacation that our boys remember! read more

I got tickets for this cruise and my travel plans changed. I called more than three months out to cancel and was told I could only get 65% of my ticket price back. Or 100% if I wanted a credit for a later use. As I was not planning to be there that wasn't an option. If I were cancelling close to the time I would understand, but so far out they will not lose any business due to this. The manager I spoke to just said "That's our policy". read more

Awesomeness! Just pure awesomeness! You can tell who is creative and should be doing this business! Amazing! From the time we boarded to the time we got off, they stayed in character! I highly recommend to anyone with small kids under 12 visiting! They had all kids involved! read more

Absolutely amazing staff. Captain crusty and his mate gave my children and a wonderful afternoon of adventure as we set sail and for a battle against pirate Pete. My four-year-old twins had the best day ever read more

While on vacation we decided to pull ourselves away from the beach and do a daytime activity. We went down to the resort we were staying in lobby and grabbed several brochures and since we had done everything else we decided to give Pirates Adventure a try, I am so glad we did. This was the cutest thing yet, my 6 year old had a blast. My 1 year old was super busy not following any rules and was all over the place. The ride was smooth so I didn't have feel of her falling. I would recommend this experience to any parent with kids 2-10 years old. This was the highlight of my son's vacation so far read more

My kids LOVED this. Two are special needs and the crew handled them beautifully. I wish I had known about tipping the crew. I had NO cash on me and would have gladly done so. read more

This was a beautiful and relaxing cruise at sunset. Our party of 4 enjoyed every moment. It wasn't overcrowded and we each had plenty of room. The pirate ship was partially covered so you could sit under the covered area or stand at the front of the ship and look for dolphins. The staff was super friendly and offered to take our picture together. No refreshments were sold on board but it was BYOB and the dead dog sells delicious drinks to take with you. The sunset views were beautiful and just what we were looking for. Coupons are available for this cruise so don't forget to find those before booking. read more

My kids really enjoyed this cruise. It kept the kids engaged and interested and they still pretend to be pirates. However I was disappointed in how they don't provide much costume items for the kids and you are suckered into buying overpriced items in their shop beforehand. My advice is to print a coupon from their website in advance and bring your own props!! read more

Our children had an awesome experience today. We would recommend this adventure if you have small children while visiting Myrtle Beach. Upon arrival -and after check in, our children were able to choose two items. They were able to get their faces painted and we were able to take some pictures. The adventure it self was fun and interactive. Overall, a great adventure for our 5 and 2 year olds. read more

Well done Pirate Adventures! My grandsons age 4 and 6 called this the "best day ever". Gypsea, first mate, engages the kids in the adventure, and she is fantastic! They hoist the flags, search for the treasure map, fight with Pirate Pete with water cannons, and so much more! Face painting and tattoos and pirate vests are included in the trip, and I don't think you could find a better activity for kids 3-8. Mine want to go again. Their parents got to stay at the wharf restaurants and just enjoy the great views at Murrell's Inlet. read more

I was a little nervous about taking my twin four year olds to this by myself, but it was a phenomenal experience!!!! The people who organize and operate this tour really understand children; I'm a teacher and I was impressed. " Gypsy " and the captain captivated the kids with engaging activities the entire time. Every minute of our trip was fun for the kids, entertaining for the adults, and well-organized. My kids had a total blast and have already asked if they can come back again. I was able to sit in the shade, and I appreciate that they had a little shade where the kids sit too. If you're on the fence, this trip is worth the money! read more

We went here for my daughter's 6th birthday, and she and her older brother (nearly 10) had a great time! We paid extra for the sword and bandana, but every kid gets a special pirate vest to wear, face paint and a pirate tattoo! The crew was a lot of fun, and did a great job with all the kids, ranging from 2 years to the adults! It was clever, engaging, and I highly recommend. Jolly and Captain Crusty were great! read more

First off my son enjoyed it to a point! He is a very nice sharing 4 year old and thinks every other child is like him. When the lady lays out the treasure map(twice) he never got to get close enough to look for the treasure "X", and that's what he mentioned first as we left. Soooooooo maybe they could make it were every child interacts at that point. ALSO the Captain could play more into it as also their dressing attire. YOU ALL ARE PIRATES FOR PETES SAKE!!!! I COULD BE A BETTER PIRATE CAPTAIN THAN THAT. RANT OVER! read more

Best adventure ever for a young child between 3 and 5. Some younger or older kids might enjoy as well!

Our daughter had the best time yesterday at Pirate Adventures! The staff is incredibly nice and helpful - they make the adventure feel so real! This was our second time and we will definitely be back! read more

This was so much fun! My 8-year old daughter thought it was a blast!! The crew is great with the kids, and makes sure that all are involved during the adventure. There's stadium-style bench seating IN THE SHADE, at the back of the boat. The kiddos were given Pirate Pete's Rum....which is non-alcoholic punch. We asked if there was an adult version...but nope. You can bring drinks on the boat...as in adult beverages...as long as they're in a plastic cup. Lastly....LIMBO! The kids thought it was great, on the way back to the dock. This is a great experience for the price...AND the memories!! read more

Stumbled upon this place when checking out the docks/piers in the area. Glad to have too. Went this morning and it will be something we will surely remember on our vacation. Started out getting the matey's faces painted. Bought some of the pirate supplies that they had in the galley and waited to board the ship. Scruffy the first mate was very nice and interacted well with the kids. The storyline and the sail on the seven seas was very fun and entertaining. Each kid got involved and really no one got overlooked. The water cannons to stinky pirate Pete was very funny and the kids loved it. Each kid also got some treasure from the treasure chest and the grog was a fun surprise. Definitely entertaining and enjoyable. read more

Great value for the money. Perfect for kids from 3 - 10. The kids were engaged the whole time . Very interactive.

Kids had a great time. Wish I would have known about the no video policy before hand.

Such a great time. This was just one highlight for our children during our vacation. It was really fun. Staff was great and very patient.

This was a fantastic experience for my son! He is almost four and had the best time on this adventure. This was certainly the highlight of his beach vacation and has already asked when we could go again. The crew and management was exceptional and truly entertained the kids, and adults. Myself and my wife went along to watch his excitement and could not have been more pleased. "Jib" and the Captain did a great job and Stinky Pete made things even more exciting. Great job and thank you for making our trip even better! read more

Our daughters, years 4 & 6, loved this little adventure! The crew was great, and made a point to include all the little pirates in every activity. For the money, it was well worth the reasonable cost. The cruise lasted about an hour, which was perfect for the kids. I strongly recommend taking your children 3-8, and enjoy the boat ride! read more

If you're looking for a fun place to take the kids (as a local or out-of-towner) look no further!

All aboard, matey!! read more
