Emerald City Pirates
Private Charters & Pirate Boat Rentals
Private Charters are available seven days a week from 10am-10pm and are great for any occasion, including corporate events, team building, birthdays and celebrations of all kinds. Email us at salesteam@eccruises.com for pricing and availability, to schedule your event or for more information. We are also happy to schedule a phone call to discuss details.
Enjoy cruising around Lake Union and out to Lake Washington. We offer catering, beer, wine, cider, seltzer and a selection of N/A beverages for purchase aboard the ship. 15% service fee will be added to all Private Charters including food and beverage service and all add-ons. We distribute these funds in their totality in equal shares among all on-board crew members.. Pick up and drop-off to occur at either Lake Union Park, 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle OR Fishermen’s Terminal, 3919 18th AVE W, Seattle. Docking fees apply. Times are flexible depending upon availability. If your cruise is child-focused, we recommend our Family Treasure Cruise Private Charter.
PRICING (subject to change): email salesteam@eccruises.com for pricing and options OR click BOOK ONLINE NOW (above), provide the information requested and we’ll provide you with a custom quote.
BEVERAGES/FOOD: Catering and beverage service is available on board. You can choose for us to provide an open bar ($14.50/per person per hour), cash bar (pay as you go, cash or card) or consumption bar (one tab, pay at the end of the cruise). Our bar options consist of beer, wine, cider and seltzer. Current food and drink selections available upon request. Please note that not all menus are available on weekends. Weekend availability is denoted at the bottom of menus that are available. On the ship we offer light snacks (chips, cookies) for sale in our ship’s store as well as a couple of more substantial food offerings like burritos or hot pockets.
CATERING: Catering orders must be placed at least 5 business days in advance. Add catering for an additional $28 per guest.
DOCK FEES: We charge a docking fee for all Private Charters. Current fees are $249 for Lake Union Park and $79 for Fishermen’s Terminal, subject to change.
SAILING TIME/PAYMENTS: Our Private Charter times begin at two hours. You may add time in increments of 1/2 hour. Boarding and disembark time is included in the cruise time. 50% of the price of the trip is due at booking and the remainder is due 30 days prior to sailing. Bookings within one month of the sailing date require payment in full at the time of booking. Upon confirmation of booking, you’ll receive a payment link in your confirmation email to pay online.
ON-BOARD ACTIVITIES: You may play your own music on Lake Union’s best sound system, or we can play music for you. Our system is bluetooth enabled. You can get pirate names for your crew if you like. We can put on activities such as a limbo contest, best-dressed pirate contest and best pirate name contest and practice shooting the water cannons. See below for the option to add a battle boat to your cruise.
BATTLE BOAT OPTION: Add the battle boat/epic cannon battle option to your Private Charter for an additional fee (depends upon staff availability). One of our wayward pirates “attacks” the ship in a small boat during your cruise. You and your guests fend them off with the ship’s water cannons. Eventually, our pirate surrenders and tosses up a bag of loot that can be filled with whatever you provide, jello-shots or beads that we provide. It’s great fun for both kids and adults!
PIRATE GEAR: We have pirate swag such as swords, eye patches, bandanas, hats available on the ship.
WEATHER: The weather can be unpredictable and forecasts are often unreliable. Dress for the weather as Queen Anne’s Revenge is an all-outdoor venue. Officially our policy is rain or shine for Private Charters, but if it looks like it’s going to be a washout or high winds are predicted,—not just a chance of showers–we encourage you to reschedule.
CANCELLATIONS: Cancellations prior to 30 days before the Charter will result in 50% of funds returned to Client. No refunds will be given for cancellations within 30 days of sailing.
If our Private Charters are not a viable option for you, you may wish to join one of our public cruises. Find more information on our public cruises page.
