What makes a pirate ship party different
Before setting sail, little pirates get pirate tattoos painted on and learn the pirate lingo. Then your crew boards the Sea Gypsy II for a 75-minute adventure on the Metedeconk River: kids fire water cannons, battle the enemy pirate, decode a secret message in a bottle and hoist sunken treasure from the deep, while parents sit back and enjoy the ride.
See every package on our Pirate Birthday Parties page.
