Adventure and

A Day of Pirate Fun

Upon boarding, each scalawag and wee pirate will be welcomed with a personalized pirate name tag, setting the stage for a day of high-seas excitement. Prepare to:

  • Search for hidden treasure and embark on daring adventures.
  • Engage in fun-filled games and learn the art of pirate speak.
  • Experience the thrill of firing the ship’s water cannons as we chase down wayward loot.
  • Choose a special treasure from the ship’s treasure chest to take home as a keepsake.

Important Cruise Details

Food & Drinks: For safety and convenience, outside food and drinks aren’t permitted on board our Family Treasure Cruise. If you’re celebrating a birthday and want to enjoy cake or cupcakes aboard, consider booking a Traditional Private Charter (two hours or more) or plan a post-cruise celebration on the dock or at Lake Union Park. Rest assured, birthdays are always acknowledged by our enthusiastic crew on each cruise.

Boarding & Swag: We recommend arriving at Lake Union Park at least 20 minutes before boarding. Once on board, stop by the ship’s store to pick up your pre-ordered swag, as well as additional pirate accessories like hats, swords, bandannas, and eye patches. You’ll also find snacks, drinks, and a selection of adult beverages, including beer, wine, cider, and seltzer.

Timing: Boarding activities last approximately 8 minutes, followed by a 45-minute cruise. Allow about 7 minutes for disembarking, making the total experience roughly 1 hour. Please note, the ship departs no later than 10 minutes after the scheduled boarding time—don’t be late!

Parking can be a breeze with several options:

  • Limited public spaces are available at the Center for Wooden Boats off Valley Street.
  • A private pay lot is located at Daniel’s Broiler (~$20–25).
  • The best option is usually found off Westlake Ave N, with numerous public spaces available and about a 10-minute walk to the ship (north of Valley St). For ADA parking spaces, please contact MOHAI.
