Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We embarked on pirate adventures on the Black Spirit to celebrate our son turning 7. We went in September, so there were no walk ons and we had a whole ship to ourselves.
Before we got on a ship, they got their pirate names and got dressed like pirates. The crew was amazing, fully emerged into their performance and the kids were hooked and involved for the whole sail. From learning to be pirates, to going on pirate quests to find hidden treasure in the sea, the kids were living their best lives. If you want your kid to have an unforgettable birthday experience, Pirate adventures got your back!
Also, if there's an inner child in you, Pirate Adventures offer sunset cruise for adults only!

We went as a family of three with our 3-year old toddler and it was so fun! We love how interactive the whole tour was. We got to see our beautiful city from the water AND our toddler got entertained, it was a huge win! The crew tried to involve every family and it made it so much more special. I also didn't expect that we'd really get to soak the other pirate so that was a fun bonus! Our only suggestion for the crew would be to have mic on so it's even easier to hear the stories.

Fantasy family experience!
Captain Crusty, Jagger Jones, and Landlocked Lewis were an amazing crew. They did a great job entertaining the kids and getting everyone involved, even the parents. Our 3 yr old loved it.

I recently took two six year olds on the Pirate Adventure and they had a wonderful time! The pirate crew were especially talented and fun. The landlocked pirate was our favourite. I thought the costume and dress up component of this adventure could have been a little more dramatic. Perhaps bring some of your own pirate gear from home to have a more authentic experience.

My husband and son went with a group of their friends from pre-school. Overall it was excellent. My son had a fantastic time !! They get the adults involved and it was very enjoyable for everyone. The only thing we would suggest is better costumes. Otherwise was A+ and would recommend to everyone with kids !

A superb sunny Saturday, two seven year olds and a pirate crew non pareil, what more could you ask for?
The crew (Salty Jim and Silver in particular) were engaging and carried the show off well for the entire False Creek trip (1 1/2 hours).
The girls loved it, the grandparents loved it, I highly recommend it for any kid five and up, or any adult who can think like a five year old.
$40 a very reasonable price

We went on the Granville Island Pirate Adventures with our 3 kids and had a blast. They were totally entertained the whole time with songs, story-telling, dancing, spraying water cannons, and finding hidden treasure.
Tiny, Jagger, and Crusty (along with Stinky Pete!) were fantastic with the kids (and adults).
Adults had a chance to also take in the views of False Creek from the ship.
Such a fun afternoon.

My husband and I went on an evening Firework Cruise. I took my husband for his birthday and he had the best time. We both did. Some people only imagine sailing into the sunset, we actually got to do exactly that. As we sailed out to the bay the sky was orange while the sun was setting over the horizon. While we were heading out the Pirates on board sang and did little skits which were very entertaining. We were able to shoot water canons from the ship at other boats in the harbor. We were also served snacks while we were out and we were very impressed, who gets prawns on a pirate ship? Once we were situated we were kept entertained until the firework show started. I have seen the fireworks before but not from my position in the water watching from the west with the city in the backdrop. Absolutely stunning. Once the show was over we made it back to the dock in good time. I will be back myself and I will also bring my nephew's for the day show . Thank you for the amazing adventure.

Highly recommend! My department of ~30 people went for an end-of-year event, and had a blast! In an hour and a half, we did some pirate activities (Talk like a pirate competition, dance like a pirate competition, found treasure in the deep, and watched our VP 'walk the plank'). It took everyone some time to get into the spirit, but the crew put on a great show and made sure we had a lot of fun. We had time to socialize and take in the views as it went out into Burrard inlet with great views of the west end and Stanley Park. Thanks to Jagger, Silver, and Captain Crusty for a great sail!

Thank you for your interest with Pirate Adventures!
Not all our 6 scheduled departures sail everyday, therefore we recommend to call us with your preferred date and I will be happy to let you know what the schedules is for that day!
The adventures take about 2 hours, starting with costumes and on the ship for 75 minutes!
Thank you ! 604-754-7535
