Staged on a replica of the historical pirate ship Marigalante (or the Santa Maria that sailed with Columbus, depending on your source) built with rewarding attention to detail by the "Mar, Hombre y Paz" civil association between 1980 and 1987, this experience booked through Vallarta Adventures is a swashbuckling fun experience with mediocre food and a bit of over-entertain that is nonetheless enjoyable and accessible to both English and Spanish speakers. It just sounds like a ton of fun, doesn't it? We booked this tour through the Vallarta adventures website a few weeks in advance at a 30% discount. We were a little ambitious planning it for the night we arrived in the Romantic Zone. The Terminal Maritima was a 25 minute Uber from where we were staying. But, we arrived in plenty of time. Boarding the boat was a little more involved than we expected. The maritime terminal is subject to Mexican Federal law, being a port I suppose. It was the only place we saw soldiers in full tactical gear with automatic weapons and drug sniffing dogs. A little intimidating and heavy handed for a vacation tour! Once on the boat, the pirates kept us entertained while our "personal pirate" took drink orders for the twenty or so people in our group. The drinks are not large or strong, but they keep them coming. The show was more like a bar band with lots of audience participation that became a little tedious to us after a while. But, most everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Dinner took place below deck in a large galley with another live band. We enjoyed talking with other travelers. Servers wore masks and using hand sanitizer was required on entry. In hindsight, if you are concerned about the Delta variant, I'd say this was a bit higher risk environment for it than in the open-air above deck. The food was rather bland (we had steak & shrimp). But, they brought as much wine as we asked for. After dinner we were free to roam the deck of the ship. I especially liked the bow, enjoying the sunset from there. We were re-seated and served more drinks as the show continued. This time, the theme was "pick three women from the group who will 'prove they are pirates' by doing a sexy dance then breaking a balloon with pelvic thrusts against their partner". If you have an ounce of feminism, this will not play well. I'm dropping a star for this, the bland food, and the potential Delta risk below decks in an otherwise raucously fun experience. Our pirate Alligator provided excellent service, working hard running food and drinks all night. He was even in the show! Towards the end of the voyage, some fireworks were part of the show which was pretty cool. The boat was back in port between 10:30 and 11pm. Recommended with the caveats mentioned above.
Fun excursion. You need to make a reservation online, and then head over to the Pirate of the Bay store to check in. There is a check in window in the far back corner of the store, they also have staff out in front that will assist and guide you. There is also some water and coffee while you wait, and some fun souvenirs for you to buy and kids to look at while waiting. They will exchange your reservation for actual tickets (that I don't think I really used at all throughout the trip) and then you head over to the store cashier to purchase port fees ($30 pesos per person, eight and over I believe). Be sure to get the child port fee tickets too, they are free. And then head for the exit, and the guy with a book will confirm your dinner selection and give you a bracelet for your meal, and an additional one if you chose the premium option. Once that's done, you just hang around until your pirate leads you through port security over to the ship, which is another short walk. You'll head onto the boat, take a photo (option to purchase at the end for $10 usd) and wait around until dining room is ready for breakfast. We picked both the american and mexican breakfast, they'll offer you something to drink and some apples. The food was just okay, you're probably pretty hungry by then, so just eat it. Next time I'd probably eat breakfast elsewhere before coming to be honest. Once you're back above deck with everyone else, they'll start with some instructions and a little get to know each other fun exercises, some dances and fun events with the kids. Once that's all done, they'll ask you to use the restroom if needed, and then stay seated for the performance, which was pretty fun. They also speak in both Spanish and English, so don't worry if you no hablas espanol. After the show, they'll ask you to get ready for getting onto another small boat to take you to the island, and a separate group that wants to go snorkeling. This part felt a little bit rushed. They recommend bringing as little things and non-essential things as possible, since you'll likely get wet on the way there to the beach or as you're getting off, or on the boat after. There are not bathroom on the beach, so you'll want to do anything you need to beforehand, or else they'll have to boat you back to the ship and then boat you back to the beach after. So, pretty hectic to say the least. We made the mistake of not being in our swim gear already, and the restrooms was pretty cramped for changing clothes. So make sure you get all your attire ready preferable BEFORE boarding the ship. Once on the beach, it was pretty relaxing. They give you 3 chairs and an umbrella per group, and will serve you whatever drink or alcohol you want. (Open bar!). They also mentioned having motion sickness pills if you need them, and to take them about 15 min before getting back onto the ship. They have a little station with some sand toys and snacks for purchase. If you don't have cash with you, they can put it on the tab and charge you after you get onto the ship. They also ran a banana boat a few times, so make sure you watch out for that and line up for it. Around midway through, the 'pirate captain' will start a treasure hunt with the kids, which is a fun little event and gets them running up and down the beach. After about 2 hours or so, you'll start heading back to the ship in groups. You can stay back and try to board the ship as the last group if you want, since the ship gets pretty rocky. I wasn't feeling too well after getting on the ship. Probably from seasickness. So I wasn't able to really enjoy the rest of the shows or lunch. We got both the surf and turf, and the lobster. Surf and turf was okay, but the lobster was kind of mushy and rubbery at the same time. Didn't taste fresh and certainly not the lobster I was used to on the US East coast. I probably wouldn't spend the extra for the premium options next time. After lunch, they have a few more fun events and contests as we rock our way back into port. All in all, fun event, food can be better, and better instructions beforehand can be better. Small things that would make this a more fun experience for the customers!
Fun time met some good people the pirate "flash" really paid attention to his group and let my son Cooper and his friend Santiago use his prop pistols the entire day. Anytime anyone needed a drink he was on it. The beach we stopped at was clean and plenty of fish swimming around close to shore. Long day but still fun especially for the kids.
Recommended to us as an activity good for younger ones. It is NOT good for small/young kids. We were told to be there at 5:45...way before you even see the ship. So much hassle. 1. Make reservations. 2. 5:45 Get to location and exchange reservation slip for tickets. Then person #3 takes $ for port fee. Then person #4 takes your food order. Person #5 puts your wrist band on and has you wait (now 6:30) for #6 to walk you to ship but he instead leaves you in cruise port for an hour while you wait to board. Just so happens there are several "shops" you are invited into to spend your pesos. Now I'm mine to walk thru security. (Now 7:30) finally on ship and the pirates are singing out of sync with no actual words but "hey, hey, hey, yo,yo,yo" and yelling in the microphone so, so very loud. Pirates bring audience up to dance and play games and it verges on the line of vulgar because most adults on board are drunk and don't care that this is supposed to be "family friendly". It was A LOT. Now kids are tired, hungry, embarrassed, cranky and bored. Dinner at 8:30, back up top by 9:00 and then 2 more hours before pulling back into port at 11pm. Coolest part of night was the pirates who were thrown overboard(where did they go!?) the young lady that played the skeleton was AMAZING. BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT!) I recommend only if you have a lot of patience; checking in is the worst.
We did the pirate land show. It was amazing! We had our 3 and 7 year old with us and they loved every minute. The ship is awesome. You go down below to amazing pirate decor for breakfast and lunch. The food was good and open bar on the way back! On the way to Mahajuitas and back, there is a pirate show, contests, games, and dancing. You are given a personal pirate who caters to you the entire day. He/she always makes sure you have a drink in your hand. Every single pirate was awesome with the children. When you get to the island, there are water sports like kayaks, snorkeling, ride on a banana boat, swim, treasure hunt, beach volleyball, soccer, and chairs. Open bar at the island too.
It was a great night!!! Skull was our Pirate and he took very good care of us and my 80 yr old mom did all those stairs and all the stuff with his help!!! Thank you Skull.....the food was Phenomenal seriously we all had different entrees and everyone said how great theirs was!!!! The show in my eyes was a little loooonnng but it was 11pm and I had had a full day along with a FULL 10 days vaca I could have just been on my last leg....our younger folks wanted to party all night, I slept on 20 min ride home and have just woke after 10hours sleep but this morning I'm trying to figure out where are the pics we took entering the ship???? I bought all the pics they took with birds in terminal but I was across the street at the shops so I'm not in it I did get on boat with my party if 5....where might that pic be available to purchase or download!?! HELP!! Unbelievable night if you have the chance to go GO!!!!!
so much fun! Hilarious and crazy friendly staff. Personal experience with only a few groups per waiter. Bring you a new included drink before you even realize yours is gone. Great decorations. Very fun show! Delicious food with live music and spectacular service - we had Danny. Even went up on stage which was nerve racking but great fun. Definitely recommend.
Let me tell you! If your in Puerto Vallarta, this dinner and show are an absolute must! We did the night show, and purchased the premium tickets. Let me start by saying, when they say open bar, they're not playing. Our private pirate Raven took care of my wife and I with great service and we were never dry. The food! My goodness, the steak and lobster were cooked to perfection, great flavor and the whole plate as a whole, was just excellent. You get so much in 4 hours: A beautiful sunset, a comedy show, open bar, great dinner, you get a sunset boat ride, a party, some dancing, a great show, and fireworks all rolled up into this show. These guys and gals, are doing a magnificent job and next time my wife and I are in PV, by all means will be doing this show again 100%!!!

**Brace yourself - Its a long detailed review. I had so many questions while looking for info for this tour so I hope to answer all of yours with this review.** My family of 5 took the Pirate Adventure Day Tour in October 2017. Myself, my husband and our (3) Children ages 9,8 and 1. Our whole family enjoyed the tour! You park in a paid parking lot, walk over to the boarding gates where they check your tickets and then security checks your bags. You then walk down to the docks and line up out in front of the pirate ship. There is a small treasure box set-up where pirates greet you and you get to take a family photo (+pirate) which you can purchase after your journey. Once you start boarding they hand you a life jacket. The seating is first come first serve, We were the last to board so I may be wrong on this but when we boarded a pirate took us to the upper deck and told us to sit wherever we wanted to. The seats are bench styled with no backing besides the last rows on the upper deck. Our pirate introduced himself to us and took our drink and food order Both breakfast and dinner. Our pirate's name was Pepe. He was awesome and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our entire journey. Breakfast was ready and we were directed to the bottom of the ship where there was a full dining area. My husband and I both had the chilquiles which were delicious. Kids had pancakes and of course enjoyed them. After breakfast we came back up to our seating (Which someone else snatched up and even took our life jackets. So I suggest when you go down to dine-leave something on your bench to save your seats.) Anyways, we enjoyed a action-packed pirate show which was entertaining to both kids and adults. A lot of comedy was involved. And what kid doesn't love a good sword fight and bad pirate being pushed off a plank in the middle of the ocean? We started getting sea sick, thankfully I packed some Dramamine. **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** There was a small gift shop next to The bathrooms which are located on the first deck. There are no bathrooms on the island so you're encouraged to change and use their bathrooms before you get to the island. When u reach the island they use smaller boats to transport you to the island. (Once on the island and you need a bathroom they'll use the small boats to transport you from the beach to the Pirate ship if you need to use the restroom.) The island is set up in sections for each pirate group. Each group has chairs and umbrellas. While on the island they bring you drinks, chips and salsa. My husband enjoyed sipping on some beers while soaking in the gorgeous view. The beach is roped off and the water was so warm and gorgeous. I also loved how there was a small shallow stream which was perfect for the little ones! The pirates took the kids on a treasure hunt which was all within view from our seating areas so the parents did not have to tag along and hover their kids. We could plainly see them from our seating area. I thought the hunt seemed a little childish but my 9 and 8 year enjoyed it, so I guess I was wrong. They got to enjoy some chocolate coins afterwards! Pepe our pirate even offered to take our boys kayaking..which was also in plain site for parents to view from their seats. Another pirate ending up taking them but they enjoyed it so much! My sons and I went on the banana tube and LOVED every second of it. After about 2.5 almost 3 hours of enjoying the private beach we boarded the small boats again and zoomed back to the Pirate ship. There we showers on the ship with fresh water to rinse off. Dinner was delicious. My husband enjoyed breakfast more but it was still tasty. I thought the chicken breast was delicious. My husband had the shrimp screwers and beef. Kids had burgers. The entertainment on our sail back home were a few contest, that were fun whether you were participating or not - for both kids and adults. Once you reach the docks it's time to tip your pirate and rate them. You tip your pirate personally and while unloading you tip all the Pirates (chefs,entertainers,etc). Our pirate Pepe was amazing. Made sure we had full drinks in our hands every minute, our bellies were full and entertaining our kids throughout the whole day. So we made sure to gave him a generous tip and let him know we appreciated his hard work. It was raining as we unloaded so the pirates handed out the large umbrellas we used at the beach to families to huddle under as they walked towards the exits. Overall, this experience was amazing. We fell in love with Puerto Vallarta and will defiantly be visiting frequently so we'll make sure to take another tour with Pirate Adventure. I hope to do a night tour with my husband one year. read more

Amazing, fun adventure; our whole family enjoyed this day long trip. The staff aka pirates are entertaining, there was never a dull moment on board. Bruce is the best! So many activities and games on board.The food was pretty good, the fare includes breakfast and lunch. The water activities are awesome, so glad we didn't pay for them elsewhere as it is also included in the fare. read more

This was the BEST tour in Puerto Vallarta. I have a 5 yr old daughter and that's one of the memories she has from Puerto Vallarta. They provide breakfast, lunch and all drinks inclusive... treated us as royalty. The staff/pirates were really awesome. Our pirates/ waiters were PEPE and WOODY! High five to them they deserve. 10 of of 5 stars!!!!! read more

I wish there was 10 stars to give. I can't say enough about this company/excursion. Food was fantastic, entertainment was amazing, the staff....argh! The most amazing! Our personal pirate, Gypsy, was on top of her job! She made us feel that she was truly there for just us. The steak and shrimp! A must have! Yum! My poor hubby got sea sick but they carried pills for seas sickness. Pirate Bob, wish we could have kept him! He was amazing! Our kids were attached at the hip with him. It was our sons 4th birthday and he ended up taking him out on Kayak where they saw Dolphins, stingrays, jelly fish and fish. They were gone over 20 minutes with another little boy. My son can not stop talking about how amazing Pirate Bob was! Also, chololos (hermit crabs) my son came back speaking Spanish and wanting to be a pirate! The captain and first mate were amazing too! The staff knew my name after my second beer :) the entire staff handled business. We can't stress enough how amazing it was! Side note though, "cannons" do go off so if you have a little one, plug their ears! It was awesome, just our boys a bit of a baby. See you all next year! read more

Whoever is leaving all the 5 star reviews must be working for this company. My wife and small child went on this trip. We were packed into the boat like sardines on benches with no backs for a 5 hour trip. I will say in honesty the food was pretty good. However, watching kids throwing up and sick people laying everywhere pretty much outshined the food. We found the crew to be helpful, but no amount of sugar drinks or food or hospitality can make up for the day I wasted you this vomit drenched sardine can full of I'll people. Moreover, all the little kids sitting near us couldn't see any of the pirate show because of the manner the owners packed us all in. It's hard to believe but the boat was hot with it any airflow because the covers the area with plastic tarps above and on both sides. We could hardly even see the ocean, which would have been a pleasant reprieve from the view of I'll and upset children and their parents everywhere. When you go to the beach, they close off 80 percent of the beach and cram all the guests into a tiny swimming area once again like sardines. I'm not sure if the owners of this business were sardines in a former life or just some sort of small space nuts, but this entire experience was terrible. On a positive note, the crew was pleasant and helpful. However, we know (as I write this from the boat) the politeness will soon be eclipsed by the pirate like begging for tips by the staff. My wife and child and I cannot get off this boat fast enough. Save yourselves and skip this one. read more

This was hands down the best side trip experience we have ever done in PV. The staff was constantly meeting our every need with food and drinks. It is non-stop fun with constant singing, dancing and entertainment for the entire family. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The sightseeing at the island was phenomenal too. The tour was worth every penny. read more
