Luke 20 February 2024

Was a fantastic day out. The actors had the kids enthralled the whole time. They were funny and entertaining and we actually forgot that we were sailing on our beautiful harbour because we were so into the show. Thanks so much and would recommend to any family.

Birthday on the pirate ship

Janine 27 February 2022

Our grandson's birthday on the pirate ship was a huge success. The kids dressed up as pirates and the crew did a great job keeping them entertained. We would definitely come again.

The pirate cruise was a great success!

It was a great success. Our kids loved the cruise from start to finish. Captain pineapple and his crew have done a wonderful job. I pils definitely recommend it

What an incredible experience! JUST BRILLIANT!!

Emma 27 September 2020

We booked this experience for my nieces 9th birthday. It was absolutely fantastic. You will be entertained from the moment the ship docks until the moment you disembark. The pirates are hilarious and the ship is authentic. The children are kept involved and entertained the entire time, the jokes keep all ages laughing, and the views are spectacular. I cannot recommend this experience enough..... 10 out of 10....5 stars..... ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Extra points are awarded to Henry for his fantastic performance! Highly recommended.

Kids were entertained from beginning to end

Annelise 13 October 2019

Captain Bootpolish, Captain Pineapple & Jolly Roger together with their hilarious crew, were a joy to spend a Sunday afternoon with. They never broke out of character once, and they involved the kids & parents in so many great ways. We had a wonderful time! We are Sydney Locals, and this is one experience, which didn't have a touristy vibe at all. It was truly just a great experience.

Childish boat ride

Jarrod 20 January 2019

It would be good for children and parents but not for anyone over the age of 10

So much fun. Cheeky pirates, very interactive.

Margaret 23 August 2018

So much fun. Cheeky pirates, very interactive. A lovely windy day and a rare chance to dress up as a pirate and have a bit of fun. Jokes for the kids but plenty of cheek for the adults too.
