    Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!
    Loved them! They were expecting us upon arrival and we were the only ones there. They give you great assistance for blending and naming your own rum. The pirate museum wasn't available but we still received great information from everyone. Pace yourself 😉 Wonderful experience

    Quick and Fun Stop for Us
    Me and my wife visited The Rusty Parrot during our walk from Icon of the Seas. It was a quick but enjoyable stop, with interesting pirate history and fun activities. The rooftop area was perfect for a short break, with a playground and great views. A nice addition to our beach day!

    The Rusty Parrot be a hidden gem in the heart of Sint Maarten, just waitin' to be discovered by all who seek adventure! 'Twas a day filled with plunder and merriment, as we explored the museum and dined atop the deck. Aye, a day well spent indeed!

    An adventure with pirates
    This was one of the best activities we experienced during our time on the island. We stumbled upon The Rusty Parrot thanks to a flyer from our hotel concierge, and we're so glad we did. It's suitable for both families and older visitors, offering a blend of entertainment and historical education.

    Wonderful time
    We had a wonderful time at The Rusty Parrot, thanks to the excellent hospitality of pirate Lucas. He provided entertaining and informative insights into the world of pirates, and his delicious rum was a highlight of the experience. Afterward, we indulged in refreshing rum punches, capping off a super nice time at this unique attraction.

    Day with pirates
    We had an amazing experience at The Rusty Parrot! The museum was superb, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of pirates. The food at the restaurant was equally impressive, catering to our large family with diverse tastes. It's rare to find a place that pleases everyone, but The Rusty Parrot exceeded our expectations.

    100% Fun
    The Rusty Parrot was a hit with our kids! They had a blast exploring the museum and especially loved receiving free eyepatches. The opportunity to touch a real cannonball added to the excitement. After enjoying a nice story, we headed up to the top deck for refreshments. The presence of a playground was an added bonus for our little adventurers.

    Go-to place about pirates
    Being in Sint Maarten for a week, we decided to visit this place. We learned quite a lot about pirates and we even met one! That was really fun and a recommended attraction.

Came here with the wife and 2 kids. There is plenty of parking spaces, so that’s a good start. Friendly welcome getting in. The tour was actually quite interesting, with an element of surprise which I will not reveal here (go check it out yourself!). And afterwards a highlight: rooftop lounge area with a bar, a little play area for the kids, great view over the bay and cruise ship terminal. Very very beautiful around sunset (6pm). A must! I went on a Friday and Thebes’s a local gentleman playing some live music in the background. Great atmosphere, nice breeze….I will definitely visit again!

We had a great time visiting the Rusty Parrot, the pirate experience is a museum with projections, special effects and beautiful decors. We had lunch on at the Tavern, it's on the rooftop. Tasty food and nice staff. We recommend.

maybe once a month I love to take a tour to the Rusty Parrot!
This time I took my friend from the BVI who is a real Sailboat lover!

It was his first time coming to the rusty parrot and he was mind blown!
The size of this Ship! And how cool how they decorated it was outstanding.
I personally had seen it many times before and loved to go once in a while for a drink ( or two😏)
I still take the tour when I bring somebody with.
And everyone Is still be amazed by how nice everything is put together!
The story, the sound effect, the decoration, and ending in such a cool souvenirs shop that has a lot of different souvenirs than other places to offer. Plus the very friendly staff who are always putting a little act on to give you the real experience.

We finished with a nice beverage on the rooftop! With this outstanding view all over the capital of the dutch size: Phillipsburg.
This time there were many big mega yachts lying around which were really incredible to watch as wel!
Truly felt as we were surrounded by the pirates of the Caribbean!.

I love how Sint Maarten has so many different places to offer for all sorts of people! This is truly one of them!
Fun for family, friends, young or old.
And a very reasonable price too!
I imagine coming from the cruise ship, this will be a nice affordable excursion to do!

Also really like to support this fabulous excursion, knowing that they didn’t have a easy start ( with the hurricane & COVID) but they still going strong like really pirates!

See you soon, rusty parrot! Thanks for the memories!

Living on Sint Maarten with 2 young children (7 and 9), I am always looking for new things to do with the kids. We have visited the "Pirate Ship" so many times. The kids really enjoy the show and then playing on the top deck. My husband and I like to enjoy the view of Philipsburg and the cruise ships from the Top Deck while sipping on "adult beverages." Check it out!

Customer service was top notch from the moment we entered. This is not only an inspiring excursion but it is educational. I enjoyed my visit with the young one being fascinated with the story and of course we aweed at the surprise of the story. Indeed something to experience. The upper deck is very big and spacious and lovely for hanging out and mingling. I truly enjoyed my visit.
P.S. the rum punch was a delicious mix. I wish this new company much success.

We had walked from the cruise port to here, which was a nice half way point to the downtown area. This was a really well done pirate story with a bar on the roof with great views. I was with family, which included 3 generations. The youngest being 11 years old & the oldest was 72 and we all enjoyed it. They also had wi-fi which the 15 year old loved. The experience also included drinks at the bar, Rum Punch for the adults & Punch for the kids, which were refreshing in the heat. I would recommend this experience to others going to St. Maarten.

Me and my friend loveeee doong this tour! Even though I am local to the Island, I truly like to pass by once in a while and have a scroll in their souvenirshop and enter the tour!
Raphael ( the owner) is such a lovely gentlemen who showed us around with so much passion! ( he even put the tour with Dutch language!)

He dresses up as a pirate and really add the extra joy!
The tour is very educational and I love to hear the story again and again!

We laughed alot!
After the tour we had some lovely lunch upstairs and Raphael came sitting with us and telling us more how you managed to create such a big pirateship in St maarten!
He had a rough start. ( he opened up when covid started!) so he is one of the business owners who suffered alot!
But he keeps positive and ready for more adventurous pirates and mermaids, he said! His optimistic and possitive energy sticked with us for the rest of the day!

also, soooo nice to buy your carribbean souvenirs here for reasonable prices!
Make sure to add this tour to your list!!

A perfect pirate experience. It’s not too long, so it won’t take out a huge chunk of tour day, a great story and so many interesting details throughout the experience. The kindest staff, unique merch, there’s something for everyone, and THE BEST rum in St. Maarten. The bar on top has a great view and great drinks as well, along with live music on some days.
You have to book in advance but it’s all worth it, definitely coming back.
A must see in St. Maarten!

Really nice experience. Nice location near cruise ships, walking distance. They build a “wrecked ship”, with a nice tour telling a pirate story. Amazing they got this location. The bar up stairs with the view over the bay is great. Highly recommend it

This is very good tourists attraction. It's not far away from every point in the Ireland. We have really good time all the time. For the start we had short presentation about the parrots and they told us all storie. Than we went through rooms with the stories. At the end we went on the roof and we meet original parrot. We eat and drink good food and drink good rums. All stuff was professional and the try too give us the best. Give them support with visiting them.
