  2. St. Augustine: Treasure Hunt Cruise with Onboard Show

  Join in on a 1.5-hour voyage which includes a first-rate, interactive show onboard a real pirate ship. The ship was designed and built for its purpose, to be a floating performance stage for live pirate shows. The goal is to provide a wide variety of dynamic and interactive entertainment programs that suit all ages. The crew's ambition is to deliver the best pirate show in Florida, regardless of the audience age group. The performance is rehearsed but not scripted, allowing the pirates to improvise and interact with the crowd. No other attraction can live up to this exhilarating and unique adventure.

  Activities was excellent but customer service of you not, my son didn't made the tour, beacuse he feel stomach ache and you ask me for proof that he's sick to give a refund for him. Next time I buy directly with the store.
