Arrrrrr! A *fantastic* adventure for little ones. We took our three- and five-year-old for a Pirate Adventure, and they had the time of their lives. First Mate Scruffy did an amazing job, from the face paintin' to the First Mate'n to Grog Sharin'. Right from the start he got the kids' attention and got them involved in the adventure, and it was amazing and enchanting to see them participat'n and shout'n and arrr'n. The script for the adventure is very clever, and the kids were involved the whole time. You should definitely plan to arrive at least an hour before the actual sailing time during the summer holidays - the preparation and face painting takes quite a long time. We were initially a little miffed about all the merchandising in the registration/store area, and at having to pay extra to bring our 6-month-old on board, but it was worth it. Angie P nails it, the adult fee is totally worth it. We even sprang afterwards for the framed picture of the kids in their pirate costumes. I have already recommended this to family, and would definitely recommend it for anyone who has kids up to age 6 or 7 if they are even remotely interested in pirates. read more

If I could give this 10 stars, I would, we absolutely loved them! We found this adventure last year by googling, and it seemed to have decent reviews so we chanced it. We're so glad we did! This trip was the highlight of our vacation, and something they still talk about. For the kids, it was a daring adventure on the high seas complete with a high stakes water battle for pirates booty, and rewarded with gems and grog at completion. For the adults, it was a relaxing tour of the bay with a gentle sea breeze. The captain quietly fed us interesting local facts in between his role of Pirate Captain. The Captain & First Mate thoroughly entertained all children for the duration of the trip and never broke character. We went again this year, and if possible it was even better. The Captain and crew are phenomenal, they take this job very seriously and delighted the kids. This activity is probably best for children aged 2-10, but anyone who will enjoy pirating. Younger children are allowed, but it is a moving boat so be prepared. Love, love, loved Pirate Adventures!! read more

My 5 year old and 6 year old loved this adventure. The crew kept the kids engaged the whole trip. Throughout the hour there were surprises from the kids finding sunken treasure to fighting Pirate Pete with water canons. The price was well worth the fun the kids had! The staff was very pleasant on the trip. I also called several times with questions before the trip. They were kinds and answered all my questions. A few things to note: -When they ask you to arrive 30 minutes early I would strongly encourage you to arrive 30 minutes early. The kids get their faces painted, dressed in pirate gear, and have a restroom available. - There is a $4 off coupon per person in the Myrtle Beach Travel Guide. They also offer a package to get a sword or hat included. If you don't do this I would suggest purchasing before, as it is a little expensive to buy in props their store. - Only one adult needs to be with the children for the experience. The crew truly kept the kids so engaged I was able to enjoy the Inlet views and watch the kids having a great time! read more

This is an awesome adventure for young kids. My daughter has enjoyed this trip multiple times over the past 4 years and we are looking forward to doing it again this season. She even had her 5th birthday party on the pirate ship and everyone had a blast. Adults can sit back and enjoy the ride while watching the kids play. Who doesn't love to dress up?? They start out with face painting and pirate gear to get ready for the fun. The captin and mates are interactive and wonderful with the kids. The mate has them keep an eye out for the evil pirate pete and attack him with the water cannons which the kids love!! They get to drink "pirate grogg" and search for the treasure by using team work & a big pirate map. They each leave with a fist full of treasure that they helped find and pull up out of the ocean. Then a little limbo fun at the end of the ride. This is a wonderful family outting and the inlet is beautiful. Check out this adventure!! You and your kids will completely love it!! read more

We did a birthday party with these folks and it was awesome! We had over 20 children, which is terrifying to some, but not Pirate Adventures! They handled every detail, truly relieving us parents of any worry. Prior to boarding the big ship, the First Mate got the kids ready for their big adventure with face paint and cool Pirate name tags. After that the kids got on their pirate vests and hit the water. On board the ship, the Captain was terrific, staying in perfect character the whole time and playfully interacting with parents, children, and the first mate. The kids participated in a treasure hunt and found sunken treasure. When that no good Pirate Pete came to try and plunder the ship, the kids valiantly fought him off with their (water) canons. After the ride, we had our own decorated Pirate Pad doe cake, presents, and hanging out. Can't recommend this enough and truly is a great value! read more

This was the best idea. We bought our 5 year old daughter a ticket for this on a trip to Myrtle Beach and I am pleased to say that not only did she have an AMAZING time but I actually did as well. The adults aren't included in the actual hands on stuff but what a blast. You still feel like your a part of the action. They give each of the kids their own pirate name as well as cool pirate treasure hunting vests. They even gave my 9 month old son his own pirate name badge and painted a pirate beard on him (children his age are no cost to ride). My daughter has talked about this experience for two days now and loved the "first mate" Jolly who lead them. She isn't afraid of ANYTHING now becasue she is a pirate!! read more

I would give 10 stars, if I could. We had our sons 5th Birthday at Pirate Adventures a week ago and the kids (& adults) are still talking about it. From the moment you check in the fun begins. The crew dressed our "mateys" up like pirates, painted their faces, gave them pirate names and even taught them some pirate lingo. The cruise along the inlet was VERY interactive, each child had special tasks to assist along the way. The storyline used keeps the kids attention and has them on their toes with the suspense and excitement of what's going to happen next. We definitely will be back, again and again! read more

Great adventure! I was a little skeptical at first because it was a really hot day and the girls ( age 5 and 8) were cranky, but it turned out to be the best things we did! The Captain and crew were creative, engaged with every kid and super excited. Even the afults had a blast. I would definately do it again and recommend this activity for others looking for a diversion that holds kids interests. Timing was perfect, not too long, and the face painting added a special person as l touch. Can't wait to go back again. read more

One of our grandkids found this in a Myrtle Beach coupon book and wanted to try it. I was worried at first since there were 11 of us including a couple of teenagers and 5 adults but it turned out to be a fun adventure. We all had a good time. The staff did a great job keeping all of the people on the ship entertained. The kids all were smiling and laughing and having a blast. It was a really fun way to spend an afternoon and then with all the restaurants in the area a great place to have a meal afterwards. read more

Incredible attraction for all ages! Enjoyed Pirate Adventures with my family of four including my kids 2.5 and 5 years old. Lots of laughs and excitement during this excusion. Captain J Hook and crew were very hospitable and made our son's experience extra special (we were there for his birthday). You can tell this is a group of people that are enthusiastic about what they do! My kids are already asking "when can we go on the pirate ship again"?! Don't miss an opportunity to book this during your next vacay! read more

This pirate adventure was everything we hoped it would be! Perfect for all ages. The Captain and Pirate Sweet pea were super interactive with all the kids. It was very nice to be a parent and be able to sit back and watch your kids have such a great time while searching for treasure and hoisting flags to shooting Pirate Pete with awesome water cannons!! It was truly an amazing experience and we will be recommending it to anyone and everyone who comes to Murrells Inlet for vacation!! read more

I took my 4 year old on the Pirate Adventure and he loved it!! He's still talking about shooting Pirate Pete with the water cannon.The crew is awesome and kept the kids entertained from the time we left the dock. They pulled a treasure chest out of the water, read a pirate map and drank pirates grog. There's a place for adults to relax in the shade as you cruise through the Inlet. I highly recommend this memorable adventure! read more

My nephew LOVED this adventure! He talks about it all the time and cannot wait to go back! His favorite part was the water cannons and defeating the bad pirate, Pirate Pete! The crew made sure to include all of the children to make sure each one had a wonderful experience. They are great with kids! I highly recommend this adventure to anyone with kids ages 2 to 10. This is on our to do list next time we are in town! read more

We stumbled on this attraction while looking for something fun for my 3 year old, and it did NOT disappoint! This hour long adventure was well worth every penny! From the boat ride, to the treasure hunt the kids were entertained and engaged! I would recommend Pirate Adventure to any family visiting Myrtle Beach with kids 6 and Under. They will LOVE it!!! read more

Awesome kid friendly experience!! We went for our 2 and 4 year old sons but drug our 10 year old daughter along. The boys absolutely loved every minute of it and we even caught our daughter participating at times! The staff interacted often with the children, even before setting sail! Our 4 year old's favorite part of vacation. Highly recommended. read more

We took our three Grand Daughters on this adventure and it was wonderful. If you go plan on getting a little bit wet. Dagger and Jolly were great with the whole experience and the kids had a ball. And, the Captain, navigated quite well. I think the "Old People" had as much fun as the kids/pirates. It rates five RRRRR's Matey. read more

Our Adventure was FABULOUS! Our 3 and 4 year old had a blast and still talk about some of the things that we did on the trip. Jolly Jenna was the perfect first-mate! She did a great job of engaging the kids while also providing some humor for adults. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun activity. read more

This was the best experience! Our whole group loved the cruise, including a six-year-old girl and two four-year-old boys. They were smiling and laughing the whole time! The crew was awesome; they were great with kids and made the adventure very exciting. Dagger was our host pirate and he was a hit with our kids! read more

The Pirate Adventure was a great experience for my 8-yr. old grandson. The staff were helpful and the young crewman had kids pulling ropes and singing songs. Talking and walking like real pirates. They kept the kids busy for one hour which is a miracle in itself. Really fun for kids 6 and older. read more
