Salty Sam’s Pirate Cruise

Ahoy Matey! Sail aboard the Pieces of Eight, a magnificent 65-foot replica Spanish galleon pirate ship pillaging and plundering the Gulf of Mexico. This 90-minute interactive comedy adventure includes family oriented games and nautical nonsense, along with a live cannon show and a rebellion against the Captain! While the kids are being occupied by the pirates, parents can sneak away to the Pirate Pub, where grub and a full bar awaits. Don’t be a land lubber, climb aboard the ship and navigate through the waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

During the 90-minute cruise, sea dogs can explore the upper and lower decks or take a break inside the pirate pub, where a full bar is stocked with beverages. Snacks are available for purchase as well as pirate loot and souvenirs. Each crew member is carefully chosen based upon their charismatic pirate personas and enthusiastic interaction with children and adults alike. They are pleased to introduce the Fort Myers Beach crew including: Capt. Jack, Skipper Fancy Face Phil, Doctor Flarity, Peg Leg Meg, Blackbeard, Pick Pocket Pete, Bermuda Jill, Scurvy Scarlet, and Miss Gray.

Pieces-of-Eight was a type of Spanish currency. It was actually the most famous of coins associated with the New World. “Eight Reals” or pieces-of-eight known to pirates, were minted in the Spanish Main and sent back to Europe in huge quantities with treasure fleets. Pirates plundered many Spanish galleons in search of pieces-of-eight as a handful would have been worth a small fortune to any pirate. Their Pieces of Eight ship was built in 2005 and is 65’ long, 25’ wide, weighs in at 79 tons, powered by twin diesel engines, and is US Coastguard inspected. They can accommodate up to 100 hearty pirates!
