Pirate Adventures Children’s Treasure Hunt

Pirate Adventures of Myrtle Beach gives children the chance to experience the thrill of pirate life. They’ll sail aboard the pirate ship, Sea Gypsy, in search of sunken treasure! First, the crew will paint a curly mustache on the young mates (kids) or give them an anchor tattoo. Then, after receiving a lucky treasure hunting vest, the mates will set sail on the calm waters of Murrells Inlet. Armed with water cannons, the Sea Gypsy is ready for the voyage ahead! You never know who you might come across in the waters! Pirate Adventures departs from Captain Dick’s at Crazy Sister Marina. Private Charters are also available for Birthday Parties and Field Trips. Come aboard the Sea Gypsy because children always walk away with incredible stories.

Before boarding the Sea Gypsy, be sure to study up and learn all of the pirate lingoes!
