One thing we do every family vacation is create a family fun list. With this, we create new memories and check items off our family bucket list. On this trip, the kids wanted to go on a pirate ship and meet a real pirate. Finding the Pirate Ship Tour in Puerto Vallarta was a perfect fit for family fun.
When you walk onboard you're assigned a pirate who takes care of you the whole journey. Remember to save your tips for the end and show some love to everyone for all the hard work.
From walking the plank to singing a pirate song you'll be entertained all evening. As soon as you set foot on the pirate ship you're in for an evening of family fun. A few of the things you'll experience include:
- sunset
- eating dinner below deck on the ship
- interactive pirate show
- fireworks during the final performance
Family Fun with Pirate Ship Vallarta
We all had an amazing time. The night show is geared towards adults, there is a bit of adult content that might not be appropriate for kids of all ages. The staff will let you know ahead of time so you're able to make an informed decision. Luck would have it that I was chosen to get up and take part in the pirate show. The whole experience was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the entertainment.
Food and Drinks on the Pirate Ship
For dinner, there is a choice between filet mignon with bacon or chicken cordon bleu. The children's meal was nuggets and fries! You can enjoy a glass of red or white wine, and the kids have a selection of juice and soda. Your pirate is there to ensure your glass is never empty and your belly is full.
The kids loved exploring the ship and taking some photos with our pirates as well as the crew. We all loved taking part in the singing and dancing along with the other passengers aboard the ship. Everyone was nice and inviting and willing to include all the kids in the activities!
For us, the tour was about the experience and letting loose! Don't book it for the food that was just a bonus of eating on a pirate ship. There was a mix of families and adult groups on board celebrating engagements, birthdays, weddings, and bachelorette parties.
I recommend the tour for families or groups of adults who are there for a good time. Just remember to set your worries aside, grab a beverage of choice, and enjoy the open sea!
