Celebrate the Holidays with Tampa’s Pirate Ship: Lost Pearl Sets Sail for Family Fun & Festive Nights

Tampa Bay has no shortage of holiday magic, but this season, one of the most unique ways to celebrate is by setting sail aboard Tampa’s only pirate ship, the Lost Pearl. Known for its high-energy crew, family-friendly adventures and unbeatable views of downtown, the Lost Pearl transforms into a floating holiday wonderland each fall and winter. From spooky pirate games to festive sing-alongs and dazzling lights on the water, these themed cruises offer fun for every age.

A Pirate’s Halloween – Family-Friendly Fun on the Water

October kicks off with “A Pirate’s Halloween,” an interactive 1.5-hour cruise for buccaneers of all ages. Little ones can enjoy activities like the Pumpkin Toss, Mummy Wrap, water cannon battles and a pirate-themed dance party. Each child will even receive a pumpkin from Captain Patchy’s floating pumpkin patch (while supplies last), making this cruise a fall family favorite. Parents aren’t left out either; with complimentary soda, beer, wine and house spirits included, there’s something for everyone on board. Costumes are encouraged, so gather your crew and make it a memory-filled Halloween at sea.

A Pirate’s Christmas – A Holiday Adventure for Families

November and December bring an extra sprinkle of holiday magic with “A Pirate’s Christmas.” Families can join White Beard and his jolly pirate crew for a festive 1-hour cruise full of games, sing-alongs and even “snow” on the high seas. Kids will love writing letters to Santa and mailing them at Tampa’s only floating North Pole buoy, while every child receives a gift from the treasure chest. Parents can relax with a cocktail in hand while elves and holiday games entertain little ones. It’s the perfect way to add a Florida twist to your family’s holiday traditions.

Cannonball Countdown Cruises – New Year’s Eve Fun for Kids

Why should midnight get all the fun? The Cannonball Countdown Cruises on New Year’s Eve offer family-friendly celebrations throughout the day, perfect for little pirates with early bedtimes. Each 75-minute cruise includes festive activities, dancing and a one-of-a-kind “cannonball drop” at the top of the hour. Families will also enjoy a complimentary champagne and sparkling juice toast to ring in the New Year. With souvenirs, games and plenty of fun, this is Tampa Bay’s best New Year’s Eve event for kids and families.
