PIRATESOF

HILTONHEAD

Board the Black Daggerand set sail on a pirateadventure!

From beginning to end, the actionis non-stop as the kids are trans-formed into a Pirate Crew. Theadventure starts in Harbour Town,where each little mate gets to puton some pirate gear and learns totalk like a pirate. Once they’vesworn their allegiance to the boat,they are officially part of the Crewand get to join in the hunt for loot.

We’ve got a map that leads to asunken treasure chest, but StinkyPete knows about it too and hestole the key.

The race is on to find Stinky Peteand get the key back before hecan steal the treasure for himself.Once we find him, our new Crewis going to have to man the watercannons and blast the stink rightoff of Pete until he gives us thekey!

Fortunately, at Pirates of HiltonHead, we always beat Stinky Pete and every little pirate alwaysgets a handful of the loot. Wecelebrate the victory with somemusic and dancing beforeheading back to port.

PIRATE LINGOEvery little pirate needs to knowhow to speak like a real bucca-neer. The most important thing for any aspiring pirate to know isthat we shout pretty much every-thing! Those who can’t turn up the volume will be insulted withthe lowest, most terrible of piratenicknames, such as Mermaid orGuppy!

Some words you may want tobrush up on in advance of yourpirate cruise:

AHOY – Pirate for “hello” or “I seesomething.”

AYE, AYE – Pirate for “Yes, Sir.”

ARRGHH! - Always said withextreme emphasis, this is the oneword a pirate simply can’t dowithout.

The entire experience with thecrew of the Black Dagger lastsabout an hour and a half. The firstfifteen minutes are spent on thedock getting the little pirates readyand then we board the ship andhead out on the Calibogue Sound.

Trips leave daily, reservations forall passengers are required.Please arrive at least 20 minutesearly to get your pirate name anda tattoo.
