There are always some exceptions to the schedule and route based on customer loads, wind speed and direction. You can see our up-to-date schedule, availability and book online in the "book now" calendar; or you can call us to check when we will be out huntin’ for treasure.
PRICING
$43 Kids and Adults, $25 Infant-In-Arms (Under 12 Months)
Reservations are required! We prefer you book in advance, but we do take walk-ups which will close 15 minutes before the boat leaves. All those aboard must hold a ticket - even baby pirates - those are the Coast Guard rules. For adults and kids over one you can book online or call. If you have a child too young to participate, an "infant in arms", who will be held by a big pirate please select “infant in arms”. Children are the responsibility of parents - we require one responsible adult pirate per group of five little pirates.

BOOKING DETAILS
Please arrive BY your booking time. We begin face painting, dress up and pirate prep approximately 15 mins before. The adventure begins approximately 15 minutes after the listed time.
At least one adult is necessary to be responsible for the behavior and safety of the group of kids you're bringing.
An "Infant in Arms" must be under 12 mos. old and sitting in your lap, or in a carrier, on board. Please call to book.
Coast Guard regulations allow us to carry up to 45 passengers on our ship, regardless of their age or size. Each passenger, (even baby pirates) count towards our occupancy limit so be sure to have an accurate number when making reservations.
Check-in inside Dockside Marketplace at the Treasure Chest - our pirate store.
You may bring your own snacks and drinks, but only what you can carry. Space is limited and glass is not allowed. Carry in, carry out!
Please bring WATER and sunscreen on each and every voyage. You may want jackets, sweatshirts, ponchos or other items to make your family comfortable at sea. Remember, it's colder on the ocean, and you may take on light sea spray from the cannon fire.
There are no bathrooms on the boat, please use the bathrooms inside Dockside Marketplace before leaving.
Strollers are not allowed on board, we have very limited space. We can keep them safe for you in our store or they can be left (unguarded) outside at our Pirates In Training (PIT) area.
Duration of the adventure is approximately 90 minutes total. Your time at sea is approximately 70 minutes.
Finding parking in Oak Bluffs is like huntin' for treasure. Unfortunately, we have no pirate parking available. The best places to hunt are: around Ocean Park, at the top of the bluff by the Steamship dock, around the head of the Harbor, alongside the ocean across from Ocean Park. Please leave ample time to find parking as we cannot hold the boat for you.
Don’t forget the camera!
