Join the crew for a treasure hunt with sea chanteys, stories, and cannon action
90 minutes
Set sail on a pirate-themed voyage where you follow a secret map, join the crew, and hunt for underwater treasure. Arrive early to check in and get ready for dockside activities before departure.
Plan to arrive early; the boat departs at the posted time and late arrivals will miss the voyage. Infants 11 months and younger are not allowed.
Cancellations made at least 48 hours before the scheduled departure are fully refundable. The operator may cancel or modify trips due to unforeseen circumstances. Charges are non-refundable unless the trip is cancelled by Pirate Adventures.
Check-in is done by name on the manifest. Actual tickets are not required, but reservations are.
The Pirate Adventure sails from Hyannis Harbor at 180 Ocean Street, Hyannis, MA.
Kiosk parking across from the boat is recommended (pay at the kiosk machine is the simplest option). If it’s full, street parking on Old Colony Road has a 2-hour limit and is about a five-minute walk to the boat.

Cape Cod Pirate Adventures is a genuine crowd-pleaser for families with young kids, drawing repeat visitors year after year. The crew is consistently praised for their energy, commitment to character, and ability to keep children of different ages engaged throughout the experience. Kids ages 3 through 9 tend to get the most out of it, with several reviewers noting it's a sweet spot for that range. The interactive nature of the adventure is what really stands out, with kids coming home clutching treasure and holding onto their pirate names days later. Many families have made it a annual Cape Cod tradition, which speaks to how well the experience holds up over time. One reviewer noted a disappointing outing with disorganized staff and poor communication afterward, so experiences can vary depending on the crew working that day. That said, the overwhelming majority of visitors leave genuinely delighted.
We took our kids, ages 3 and 5, and they both had an absolute blast! It’s the perfect mix of an activity and a live show, with the crew keeping the kids engaged the entire time while parents can mostly sit back and enjoy. Between the water cannons, treasure maps, pirate training, and finding treasure, there was never a dull moment—it’s a fantastic experience for kids of all ages.
