Pirate Adventures Canada

Pirate Adventures turns a sail on False Creek and English Bay into a full-blown swashbuckling showdown. Guests board the Black Spirit — a 50-foot pirate ship armed with 12 cannons and capacity for up to 42 guests at Granville Island for a 75-minute Interactive Pirate Cruise, complete with a live-cast performance, treasure hunts, cannon defense, water cannon battles, and pirate gear and face paint for the whole crew.

There's a voyage for every occasion: Birthday Party Packages for shared or private children's celebrations, Adult Birthday or Private Outings for up to 42 guests, and Corporate Cruises for teams trading the boardroom for the crow's nest. Sunset Cruises (19+, bring-your-own-beverage) offer skyline views as the sun goes down, with a special Sunset Cruise with Ian Maksin adding live cello and vocal performances to the evening. Schools and camps get in on the action too, with narrative-driven field trips that make history feel like an adventure.

All aboard departs from 1820 Mast Tower Lane on Granville Island, with daily sailings May through September because on the Black Spirit, there's no such thing as a quiet afternoon.
