Pirate Ship at John's Pass

By far one of the best dolphin cruises I’ve been on. We saw a ton of dolphins within feet of the boat and even rescued a sea turtle with a cracked shell that will go to Clearwater Marine Aquarium to get medical attention…she was named Lola while on our trip. Honestly they were very informative, priced fairly, have an on boat restroom with drinks and some snacks available… bring cash for tips. Rik and Kirsten were great captain and co-captain. Highly recommend considering them as an option for your next dolphin adventure!

This was the best experience of our trip! The crew was amazing, with adults and our children (9,3,2 years old). I cannot say a bad thing about this excursion! The crew stayed in character the whole time, we got to see dolphins multiple times, our kids were entertained from start to finish! If you are thinking about doing this, don’t hesitate! We will definitely be back our next visit!!!! Thanks for a memorable night!

Ahoy! My friend and I added this to our itinerary for our annual girl's trip. I have wanted to do this for years! Ok...I know this sounds like a funny activity for two middle-aged women...but what a blast!! The actors stayed in character and the service was excellent. I would do this again in a heartbeat. We had some inexpensive cocktails, got our faces painted, and took pictures with eye patches. Arrr!!

The crew was wonderful and my son had so much fun! You have to get there pretty early, and there isn't a lot of seating for the amount of people waiting to get on boats. Once we boarded the boat, my family got stuck in the back of the boat in a three-sided area with fans and it was still incredibly hot and sticky back there. I was pretty discouraged, but thankfully once the water gun fight started and most of the kids got up, there was room my boyfriend and I to move up into the fresh air. The bar is in the middle of the boat, so you must keep your eye on littles due to head whackin the bar corners. My son had a great time, the crew was great, but I feel like some better seating arrangements and maybe better bar placement would improve the experience lol

Such a fun time for kids! The pirates on board made sure everyone was included and having fun. They started with water fights, told tall tales, fought a pirate, got face painting or "tattoos", danced, and included soda, water, lemonade with the price of the tickets. All the employees seemed to really enjoy their job and made it a fun atmosphere.
