Black Pearl Pirate Adventures — Local services in Beach Haven

To start off with the positives of this experience, this is definitely a good family experience for parents with kids 2-5 years old, it was very interactive, as a plus there were beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks and purchases were easy (I recommend bringing cash but they do take card which is good!!), and the people entertaining the kids were doing a fantastic job with it! They were very sweet!

However there are a few issues that I found with this experience, first off, the website is a bit misleading, they do hint at the fact that this is geared towards 2-5 year old children, but they don’t directly state it, I even checked the FAQ section, and I do think that seating was definitely an issue, there’s the top of the boat there’s some seating and at the bottom deck there’s some seating, however it didn’t seem like it was enough seating for everybody, I noticed that it seemed to have caused some arguments, and then back to the alcoholic beverages, I do not think it’s safe at all for adults to be drinking on a boat full of kids, so I do think that should be regulated a bit more so like one beer per person to keep everyone safe (there was a guy who spent 200 dollars on alcoholic beverages the most expensive being 9 dollars at like 4:30, and I’m guessing he drank it all lol) so just a warning about that. Checking in wasn’t too bad however I wish there was a clear sign for when you could check in at the check in center. Other than that I thought that the experience was good.

(Side note: This doesn’t apply to the company at all but if you’re an adult, please remember that the world does not revolve around you our your kid, you should make sure your kid is being well behaved and you should be polite to other people, I noticed some kids were getting hit with swords even when they were told to stop by the other kid and the parents stood there and did nothing, don’t be like that. And if your a dad help your wife with your kid. I saw two men sit on the staircase that leads up to the top deck and they were in their phones the entire time, if your a adult and you’re acting like that...

This excursion is located on the southern end of LBI near the amusement park and departs at 2pm and 4pm everyday during the summer. This is a pretty cool fun hour long event for littler kids, not so sure how if goes over with older kids but the little kids loved it. 30 minutes before departure, the kids get to dress up like pirates and they sell some swords and eye patches and bandanas but provide free tattoos. The hosts of this event are pretty entertaining and really do a good job of keeping this event fun and interactive. The boat is also pretty cool and includes water cannons and even a snack bar with alcohol for the parents. The staff is friendly and fun and the event is well worth the price. I would recommend checking this out with the kids as it was fun and the kids loved it but bring some cash as the snack bar and kids swords etc....

What a waste of an hour , seriously . I understand because of the weather the sunset was not going to happen and that was fine . If its intended only for children it should state that . The music kept skipping there was no mention of where we even were or anything pointed out or talked about it was a complete fend for yourself and like it type of thing … even the kids were crying . When i asked the only non working pirate on board what was going on she said because of the weather there is nothing and she is the only employee and cant risk falling ????? Say what ?????????? Wheres captain hook when you need him ! All ill say is ahoy matey and enjoy the loot we spent at your bar and heres my tip : Cancel next time...
