Step aboard the Black Raven Pirate Ship and leave the cobblestone streets of St. Augustine behind. Salt air fills your lungs as costumed crew members swagger across the deck, spinning tales of buccaneers and buried treasure. The Black Raven Pirate Ship sets sail from the historic bayfront, putting Matanzas Bay and the old city skyline right before you.
This pirate ship experience in St. Augustine seems to hit different notes depending on which cruise you choose. Families with young kids consistently rave about the crew's energy and how well they tailor the entertainment to different age groups. The treasure hunt activity gets enthusiastic mentions, and parents appreciate that the humor works for adults while staying kid-appropriate. The adult-only Rum Runner cruise also gets strong praise for its comedy and entertainment value, with couples highlighting the affordable drinks and hilarious skits. Several reviewers mention the crew's friendliness and how they engage with passengers throughout the trip. The sunset cruises earn special mentions for their live music and overall atmosphere. The experience isn't without hiccups though. Audio can be problematic, with the boat noise making it hard to hear the pirates at times. One disappointed group on the Rum Runner cruise felt the show didn't match the website description and found too much time spent on safety briefings rather than entertainment, questioning whether it justified the ticket cost. Some jokes and dialogue might go over younger kids' heads. Parking near the marina can apparently be tricky if you're not familiar with the area, so taking an Uber might save you some hassle. Still, the overwhelming majority of visitors seem to leave happy, whether they're toddlers clutching their treasure or adults who've enjoyed a night of laughs and drinks on the water.
