      If you have kids, do this.
      If you have kids, you should definitely do this when you are visiting Mandurah or Perth. We have done this twice now and enjoyed so much. We saw dolphins both times. Very entertaining captain full of dad jokes and cheer.

      Go do this!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
      Absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend this to everyone. It is incredibly interactive for the kids and the crew are in character and honestly do an amazing job. It's something the kids won't forget! The cruise itself is wonderful and so beautiful. It was a beautiful day, the water was so blue and there were many dolphins. Definitely coming back! I travelled from Guildford and it was worth the trip. The ship is so cool as well, it's perfect. Go do this! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

      Such great fun for the kids and sightseeing for parents
      Wonderful little adventure for our two boys (2 year old and 1 year old) to have fun in Mandurah with the water hole, ringing the bell, stirring the wheel. Spotted so many dolphins along the way. The first mate she was amazing energy making it fun for the kids to get involved and have fun like a pirate. 🏴‍☠️ Highly recommend to do as a way to spark imagination for the whole family

      Ahoy Matey!
      This was such a fun and quirky experience plus a great way of seeing along some of the beautiful canals of Mandurah. The Pirate host led things well and kids and adults had a great time. Bought a Pirate hat for the kids along with the ticket- great quality. Enjoyed the shanties too, we were just missing the rum!

      Really fun trip!
      We had a brilliant trip on the pirate ship. The pirates were fantastic and entertaining and both the kids and adults in our group had a great time. We saw lots of dolphins and the boat was comfortable!

      Couldn't recommend enough! 5 stars!
      Couldn't recommend enough! Kids enjoyed the ride, the entertainment from the guide and the captain, the features of the ship (design, water cannon, steering wheel and telescope), the dolphins and everything else. Even we, the parents, enjoyed the ride! Will definitely come back to get the 90 minute one next time!

      Great Fun for the Family
      This was such fun! Our 7 year old and his 17 year old cousin had a ball, and the adults all had a wonderful time too. The best mix of Kitch and fun (and always delightful to see the dolphins). Highly recommend for any families visiting Mandurah.

      We were lucky enough to have the boat to ourselves on the day, was a nice little trip through the canals and the crew on board were fantastic with the kids! Definitely recommend for a nice little outing with the kids.

      Rum with Fun
      How good is this. Funny Pirates and friendly service. I've boated on these waters for years and have always seen this Pirate Boat and love the idea. We went on with friends from east coast and showed off our canals in Mandurah. Just good clean fun and with a touch of Rum Rick

      Wonderful Pirate Adventure
      We had the best experience on this tour! We went with family friends and managed to have the 45 minute morning tour to ourselves. 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.

      An Amazing Sixth Birthday Present for my Nephew
      This 45 minute Cruise was a special birthday gift for my beautiful nephew. He was accompanied by his two older siblings and in my place, my brother. (Their father) Unfortunately, I was unable to fly across from Melbourne for this event, however, my family delighted & was overjoyed with their Cruise Experience. The Crew Team members especially provided special attention to my youngest nephew for his sixth birthday! Thank you. The ability to witness dolphins, pelicans etc was another Wonderful opportunity. From my family’s reports and observations of smiles, laughter etc forwarded on through photos , they highly recommend this Cruise to all young folk and their parents, carers etc

    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.

    Fun day out with my almost 3-year-old son and a few of his friends! He loved steering the ship and spraying the water canons! George the pirate was great at entertaining the kids ( and adults) 😄 highly recommend it!

    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.
