Clearwater Beach pirate cruise adventure with lunch

Florida was a well-known pirate hang-out in the 17th and 18th centuries - both Captain Kidd and Blackbeard were active here - so it makes sense to offer a taste of those buccaneering times on a Gulf Coast adventure. Sailing from the heart of Clearwater Beach - within walking distance of many of the attractions and the iconic Pier 60 - Captain Memo's is tailor-made for a genuine family-friendly two-hour excursion aboard the Pirate's Ransom. It all starts with a hearty “Welcome aboard!” from the captain's crew before the ship sets sail for the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where you can spot dolphins frolicking along the shore. Every voyage offers the chance to immerse yourself in pirate antics during the two-hour odyssey, which always includes a treasure hunt, face painting, water gun games, story-telling, and dancing.
