Join us for this memorable family adventure! Your kids will smile ear to ear! Complete with tattoos, pirate dress up, face paint and more.
We’ll board our Pirate Ship but wait! Stinky Pete, the island’s smelliest pirate, also knows about the treasure map and he stole the key! The race is on, to find Stinky Pete and get the key back before he can steal the treasure. Once we find him, our new crew will blast the water cannons until Stinky Pete gives us the key.
Fortunately, we always beat Stinky Pete and every one of our pirates gets a share of the booty to take home. There’s singing and dancing and you never know what other surprises we might run into.
Come and see why our customers always say this was the highlight of their vacation!

Entertaining boat ride
H2381JYstephanieh, October 2026
My kids had a blast! One boy age 6 and girl age 5. Add the package deal to get the pirate gear! Kids would feel left out without a sword. The staff were enthusiastic and stayed in character. Kids helped find treasure. The adults even saw dolphins!

Fun Times with Captain Bones

Suprisingly fun, entertaining and kid-oriented adventure. The staff handled the children with care and professionalism and they really enjoyed it. I thought it was a little pricey, but all in all, a great time.

Have been doing this tour for a number of years. Our granddaughter first did it at age two and this year is seven. Has always loved it. Lots of fun and very engaging with the kids and parents.

Ahoy Matey

Our 3 yr old granddaughter had a blast! Scully was amazing, we used our pirate talk all weekend. What interactive fun, my husband was roped into it when he inadvertently stole the pirate map, our granddaughters reaction was priceless. The sand bucket we purchased was full of shark's teeth, shells and fossils which she loved. Well worth it!!

Great experience!

Excellent outing!! The crew were all perfectly suited for their roles in the experience. Our 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed it…and we enjoyed watching her have such a good time!
My only recommendation is better signage to find the check in booth! We had to ask 2 people before we found the right spot!
