John's Pass Village is a historic fishing village where you will find much entertainment, including: shopping, restaurants, boats and sightseeing. Plan to spend the day!
Madeira Beach or Mad Beach as the locals would say, is a beautiful beach town on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. You won't want to miss the shopping, restaurants, attractions and most of all, feeling the sand between your toes.
Great tour, fun for small kids (ages 2-8). Caters to SMALL kids. The staff entertain the kids with water gun fights, face painting, treasure hunts and dancing. The tour takes you through the intercostal waters viewing beautiful homes. You can get alcoholic beverages on board for cheap ($2 wines) cash only. Enjoyable! 90 min is the perfect amount of time too. 🏴☠️
It was awesome we saw lots of dolphins. Had a lot of fun it was very informative .not really that rocky.
Great attraction for families with young children. Lots of interactive fun!!! Nice clean boat, fun, friendly staff and lots of activities, too!
Great staff! It is a fun and family oriented event. Lots of entertainment and laughter. I highly recommend it.
Pirate ship at John’s Pass was a lot of fun! Pirates were very engaging for both kids and adults! Nice to have a bar on board, beautiful evening sail. Enjoyed the company and loved how the staff really enjoyed their job as pirates! Great time was had by all! And the ship is beautiful!!
It was a wonderful experience! The effort taken to make sure all of the children had a great time was impressive and appreciated!
Great time was had by the kids and adults. While the kids interact with pirates the captain found some dolphins for the adults to enjoy.
It was a great time! It was fun experience that I would recommend to any age. Lots of fun people and the staff was fun too
It was so fun and cool for our little guy! The pirates were great! They are all so good with kids! Highly recommend!
This was the best they was really great with the kids and was able to just do some site seeing and look at all the beautiful places that you would love to just live across the bay but absolutely awesome place and something for everyone at John’s pass to do no matter what u are looking for
Excellent time with Captain Jim, Tommy, and Matt. Kids enjoyed the water gun battle and stories. We also got to see dolphins! Lots of fun and highly recommended.
My grandson's had a wonderful time. The whole crew was very engaging.
Squirt guns, face painting & pirate treasure kept our little one occupied (and supervised by adults) while my husband and I enjoyed the breeze, sightseeing and some cold cocktails! The crew was so hospitable and fun!
A memorable experience for adults and kids! The ships crew are hilarious and make everyone feel welcome.
Excellent experience for an 11 and 13 year old. The kids saw dolphins, enjoyed the water gun play, listened attentively to the pirate stories, had their face painted and proudly marched around the ship. There were very young children who also enjoyed the pirate adventure.
Very fun experience, the crew was fun and entertaining! Kept the kids entertained, would definitely recommend.
It was very fun for kids. The kids played with each other and parents were able to relaxed. The staff were great!
It’s a little crowded on the boat but overall was a great experience that won’t be forgotten. The kids were entertained the entire time.
Expect a very fun time with the kids Trickster Tracy , Mike and captain Rik was awesome Totally deserve a tip
Cancel at last minute ship had mechanical problem. Very disappointed my grandson was looking for this adventure
This was so enjoyable. The staff are so professional and knowledgeable. They were great with the kids on the ship this experience will be a great memory for the children on the ship. It was so much fun just to watch the kids. The staff went out of the way to make sure all had a great time. I highly recommend this for everyone especially for kids. It’s well worth the price.
You get wet from the water guns which works in the afternoon but chilly at dusk. Also asked for tips TOO many times. We gladly gave a nice tip but not what they kept asking for.
It was very child oriented and our daughter had a blast interacting in all the activities. Great views of the high seas.
Very fun for the kids! Crew members were great! Last sail of the day was perfect, beautiful sunset!!!
Must do!!! Crew is awesome!! We had a blast on the sunset cruise. Saw several dolphins. Great experience.
The pirates made it lots of fun for the kids, and we saw dolphins. It was a good value and just the right length of time
Our family really enjoyed this cruise.It was silly and fun, but well thought out and organized.The Pirates kept the kids and adults entertained for the duration. There were even some moments when the adults had time to relax and take in the beautiful scenery while the kids were listening to stories, hunting for treasures, face painting and more! We loved the family picture they took while boarding,then had it ready in a pirate themed frame when we got off. It was for purchase, but too cute to pass up. Thanks to the Pirates for their enthusiasm and kindness toward the kids. Highly recommend!
Great activity for the grand kids! My only complaint would be that there were not enough seats and some had to stand. Might be nice to have people crowd in so everyone can sit. The staff was great with the kids.
Great for families with kids! Everyone was really friendly and the kids loved every minute of it!!!!
Very energetic and enthusiastic crew. Ship in good condition. Lots of activities for children. Good views of houses on the bay.
Cute boat tour. Not as interactive as we thought it would be. Me and my husband saw two dolphins, but the kids were busy with the pirates so they didn’t get to see them :(. Adult drinks on board are very reasonably priced. We liked it and the kids enjoyed it but honestly not really worth $170 for two adults and 2 kids.
Our grandchildren, ages 4 and 6 had a BLAST on this cruise! It was fast past, kept the kids moving and active the entire trip! They LOVED IT! At the same time, the adults were engaged as well with an opportunity to watch their children and grandchildren have a GREAT TIME while enjoy the cash bar and snacks! I would highly recommend this trip for your family!!!
If you have kids this is a wonderful ship, we have a 10 yr girl and 10yr boy and a 12 yr old boy they just loved it. It kept them so busy. And we have enteric kids.
The boat was pretty small. It's great if you want an experience without a ton of other people. Be prepared to leave a tip for the crew - they do activities with the kids and work off the tips so have cash handy. We also have done a pirate cruise experience in Tampa that we liked more (the activities were better and they had more space) but for the size of the boat, the crew did great with the space they had. Did lots of pirate stories and kept the kids entertained. The boat ride itself takes you around to see the area which is beautiful. Drinks were basic but also cheap. Overall it was a fun little experience and something worth while to do if you want to get out on the water and have the kids entertained for a bit so you can relax.
Warmer day finally and got out on the Pirate Cruise. Captain, crew and actually anyone we encountered was great. They did a great job entertaining the kids and engaging everyone.
We took our grandkids on the pirate ship. It is fun for kids and adults alike. Nice, entertaining crew and a beautiful bay to cruise in. Lots of fun. Kids are entertained with activities, stories and music. Adults can have a drink at the bar and enjoy the sunshine and scenery.
Great experience for a family adventure!! The staff were extremely friendly and fun!! Would recommend 100%
The property was the way was described in the pictures. Very clean and organized. Games for the family. Heated pool and very clean. We had a blast. Went to the beach and did many fun things.
It was very fun and the entire crew is very entertaining. Highly recommend anyone looking for something to do with their family or just hangout with friends on the water!
Cocktails are not included. Not sure of the tip sign telling you how much you should tip. Kind of tacky! Maybe just say tip if you think we are doing a good job. I probably would of tip more if that sign wasn't telling me how much to tip!
The pirates were very active with the kids. Little crowded with no space to move. Was fun and entertaining. I do recommend this adventure the kids really enjoyed
My grandkids loved this! Great way to ring in the new year with them. The staff made it extra fun with the little dance party for the kids after the sun was goi g down. They loved the dolphins too!
We were on the cruise with a fantastic crew, Rik, Chris and Matt. The kids were thoroughly entertained with stories, water gun fights and dancing. It was a cruise through the intercostal area around John’s Pass. The views were beautiful and we even got to see some dolphins. A great time was had by everyone on the ship!
Captain Rik and the pirates, Aaron and Matt, were fun and awesome ! They made the pirate ship ride exciting for the kids!!!
This crew is awesome! Shout out to Pirate J who kept the energy up and the children laughing. So cute and totally worth it!
fun time! My granddaughter enjoyed it very much. Only thing is, it would have been nice to receive a complimentary water bottle upon arrival. It was very hot that day. Overall it was definitely geared towards the kids and that was the main focus. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
We enjoyed it and our crew had a blast! Grace, Jim and Chris did an amazing job keeping us entertained! It was a beautiful day to enjoy a conquest
We had the best time yesterday pretending to be pirates! We sailed with Matt, Rick and J and they made sure we had nonstop fun. It was a great mix of kid entertainment and adult time to actually sit down and drink a cold drink!
We really enjoyed this pirate cruise despite the weather. The crew was awesome and very funny! They really made it a great experience! I highly recommend this cruise.
I absolutely loved this cruise! They had so many fun activities for kids and the kids seemed to genuinely enjoy it! My son was a little young still but he was very interested in what was going on- especially the storytelling! He LOVEDDDD the man who did the stories and he was fully invested! One crew member even had a stack of medallions on his neck from REAL shipwrecks! So cool!!! I will definitely be going again!
