About

Swashbucklers of all ages are invited to join our band of merry pirates aboard Queen Anne’s Revenge for a fully interactive pirate experience as we cruise the waters of the Lake Union. Search for treasure and adventure, play games and learn to talk like a pirate. Fire the ship’s water cannons as we defend the honor of Queen Anne’s Revenge! Each child will receive their choice of one item from the ship’s treasure chest.

Outside food and drinks are not allowed on Family Treasure Cruises. This includes birthday cakes and cupcakes. Should you wish to bring cake or cupcakes aboard, consider a Private Charter. You can also enjoy your cake in Lake Union Park before or after the cruise.

We recommend pirates arrive at Lake Union Park at least 30 minutes prior to boarding. Best parking options are along Fairview Ave. N, Westlake Ave. N and the pay lot at Daniel's Broiler. Upon boarding, each pirate will receive all pre-ordered swag, and a pirate name tag (weather permitting). Head to the ship’s store for additional pirate swag, snacks and grog. Adult beverages are available for purchase on Family Treasure Cruises. Boarding activities last approximately 20 minutes. The total experience lasts approximately 1 hour. Cruise times may vary 5-10 minutes during congested times at our dock.

Our ship is Queen Anne’s Revenge, a new (2017), custom-built 50-foot pirate ship, built to US Coast Guard specifications and inspected by the Coast Guard annually. It is equipped with modern electronics, an ultra-low emissions diesel engine, a fully functioning head (restroom), lifejackets for all on board and approved by the Coast Guard for up to 47 passengers. All of our operators are Coast Guard licensed captains.

Our pirates work very hard to make sure your Family Treasure Cruise is a success. Gratuities are greatly appreciated!


Please Note

All Family Treasure Cruises require a minimum of 15 paid passengers. If the minimum is not reached and the cruise is not viable, passengers will be offered a refund or to be booked on another cruise. We will notify you as soon as possible in this case.
