The friendly and professional crew kept our 3 year olds (and us) entertained the entire time, it was smooth sailing and a whole bunch of fun. There were different activities throughout the tour, which we didn’t expect. We saw dolphins, lowered and raised the mast, used cannons to squirt passing vessels, even got some cheeky pirate “tattoos” It was just brilliant. 45 minutes was the perfect amount of time for the young ones. We will definitely be booking again.Written 11 July 2024

Our family had our first experience on the pirate ship cruise in which we very much enjoyed...
As we boarded ship we were welcomed by both pirates who handed out flags and pirate hats( extra small fee)
They played their character well and interacted with all families on board which made it very enjoyable
The ship featured telescope ,water hose,bell and driving wheel in which the children could take turns on during journey.
The price was great and timing perfect( 45 min)
just enough time for younger children to stay amused ( as well as adults) of course.
Will definitely do this tour again.
Thanks Ben for your prompt communication during booking and inquiries.

I must say that this was a pretty cool cruise. The two blokes that ran the ship were very entertaining and making sure the kids had fun. They also threw in some adult humour along the way making it a great outing for everyone. Thanks for a great experience and will definitely return again.

Our granddaughter aged 9 wanted to go on Pirate Ship and so we booked online. This was easy process to do. It was a cold day but the Pirate Ship staff (which were dressed up) were great and enthusiastic and this kept us not thinking of the cold. We saw dolphins and a seal which was exciting. They had lots of stories to share and activities for the younger ones that kept them entertained throughout the 45mins. I would recommend it to every age as Mandurah Estuary and canals are so beautiful and great opportunity to see the dolphins on this fun for all Pirate Ship.

We took four children aged from 10 to almost 3 years old and they all enjoyed their time aboard the pirate ship. Pirate George was a big hit, and we were lucky enough to see two dolphins. A special highlight was having a turn ‘steering’ the ship. Plenty of pirate jokes and good natured humour made this a fun family outing.

What a fantastic tour this is, thoroughly recommended! The captain and his crewmate are hilarious, telling jokes and interacting with the 'pirates'.
And then the added bonus of dolphins swimming along the pirate ship, just couldn't get any better.
We loved every minute, thank you for a great morning in Mandurah.

Booked the pirate cruise today with wife and 2 little ones. One was asleep in the buggy and the crew were so obliging and made no issue in bringing on the buggy. Lovely fun experience and the 3yr old had a blast with the water cannon and steering the boat. We also got to see dolphins which was fantastic. Would highly recommend the trip 😄the price was also very reasonable

A very fun adventure on the ship, our kids loved the character and humour of Pirate George as did the adults! The dolphins were a bonus and Mandurah a beautiful sight. We felt very safe on board with our three children for our 2 year olds birthday. Would definitely recommend a trip out for stress free family fun outside!

What an absolute blast this was, crew were interactive and constantly telling us about what was around us, saw heaps of dolphins + even let our little ones get involved in lowering the mast to go under the bridges! Ringing the bell and washing the decks of the bearby empty buildings, Finished off with pirate tattoos, absolutely worth the money, enjoyed by all generations of us on the boat, kids cannot wait to come back.

We booked the Pirate Ship as a bit of a giggle but it was such a great way to see the Christmas lights in the Mandurah canals. I loved the interaction with AHOY's and ARRRR's and the way the people in the other boats did the same back at us! The boat has plenty of seating and the view is good from any position. I loved that the boat was safe for kids and next year we will be back with our 6 Grandchildren (and we will buy the optional pirate hats next time). It was also handy that the Pirate Ship left from the Jetty on the foreshore as we were able to have dinner first, walk through the light trail in the park and then be back in time for an ice-cream and onto the boat.
