Families with kids consistently rave about this Fort Myers attraction, with parents noting how the high-energy pirate performers keep children engaged and entertained throughout the full 90-minute cruise. The interactive activities seem perfectly pitched for the younger crowd, especially those ages 5-8, though grandparents report their grandkids having a blast too. Many families opt for the pirate goody bag packages, which appear popular among guests. Beyond the kid-friendly pirate theme, the crew earns frequent praise for their knowledge and friendliness. Captains like Ken and Dave get called out by name for being informative about the area while keeping things fun and relaxed. The dolphin sightings are a definite highlight, with the crew actively working to spot pods and get close-up views. The sunset cruises also get strong recommendations, though weather can occasionally interfere. The boats themselves are described as clean and comfortable, with reasonably priced drinks available onboard. It's clearly a well-loved family activity that delivers on the entertainment promise.
There is no pirate show. It is a birthday party style kids games show. The do these games the whole hour and a half. If you want to see the area and sunset, sit upstairs for great views. The bar has a good selection of soft and hard drinks.
