Restrooms available on board
We have a ramp to our dock that provides easy access to our boat for all guests. However, we are unable to accommodate any motorized scooters or chairs while on the boat. We ask that guests please bring non-motorized equipment for the journey itself.
You are more than welcome to bring your own drinks on any trip, but please no glass containers on board. The little pirates are going to be fully engaged on their quest for treasure anyway so no food on the ship.
During our adventure, we learn to fire real water cannons! Those cannons come in handy when we encounter that mean Barnacle Bill. Barnacle Bill is not a defenseless pirate and will fire back with his own water gun. Kids and adults who engage in the battle or stand in the battle zone (where the cannons are located) should expect to get sprayed. If you do not wish to be sprayed, please take shelter near the captain or in the bow (front) of the ship.
IMPORTANT: Please arrive 30 minutes before your voyage is scheduled to depart for getting kids tattooed and dressed up
