Emerald City Pirates runs themed pirate cruises and private charters operating from key Seattle embarkation points. The company offers a mix of family-friendly and adult-only experiences aboard purpose-built vessels, most notably the 50-foot Queen Anne’s Revenge and the 25' Seattle Sea Skipper. Departures regularly leave from MOHAI/Lake Union Park, Fishermen’s Terminal, and Shilshole Bay Marina, with private charters available across Puget Sound.
Adult-focused options include a high-energy Adult Pirate Party Cruise (21+) featuring a top-notch sound system and a 1.75-hour dance-and-party format on Lake Union, plus a Tiki Boat Party Cruise (21+) with an onboard bar. Seasonal highlights include a 21+ Fourth of July Pirate Ship Fireworks Cruise offering close views of Gasworks Park fireworks without parking hassles. Family offerings center on the Family Treasure Cruise at MOHAI/Lake Union Park — an interactive voyage with games, pirate lingo, water cannon battles, and a souvenir treasure chest item for each child. Private charter services accommodate special events — corporate outings, weddings, and private celebrations — with exclusive access for up to 49 guests and customization options like live music and pirate swag.
Safety and guest experience are emphasized through licensed vessels, trained crew, and clear embarkation points. Emerald City Pirates partners with local marinas and provides flexible itineraries such as wildlife cruises, Blake Island visits, and tailored event planning.
