There are ramps leading all the way to the pirate ship. To board the pirate ship, there are 2 steps up, 1 step over & about 3-5 steps to a seat. We can store a wheelchair safely on land until the cruise is complete.

Do parents have to come?
We require a minimum of one adult for each party. However, we recommend as many as you want to come and enjoy the experience with the children!

Should I bring a life jacket?
We are a United States Coast Guard inspected vessel, similar to a ferry, therefore, passengers are not required to wear life jackets at all times. We do have enough life jackets for all passengers in case of an emergency situation. If you wish to wear one, you are more than welcome or you may bring your own.

Important Information

There is a $9 cash gate fee to enter Sea Pines Resort (per car). Please have cash on hand for this! There is no restroom on the boat, please go ahead of time. Dress for the weather, we don't get the kids wet so bathing suits aren't required. Sunblock is a must, there's lots of shade aboard but we keep the kids in the action so they get a good amount of sun. Feel free to bring a drink or a snack but there's no time for a big lunch, the kids will be too busy having fun. Last but not least don't forget yer camera.

More Information

The Black Dagger is docked at the commercial pier in Harbour Town right under the lighthouse, in the world renowned Sea Pines resort. You’ll find plenty of things to see and do in Harbour Town, so if you haven’t been here before, you should leave plenty of time to explore. With over two dozen shops, galleries and numerous restaurants and special events, there’s plenty to keep everyone happy for days. For a complete list of shops and restaurants visit www.harbourtownyachtbasin.com.

Parking

Parking is available right next to the boat, however it can be crowded at times. We recommend you take advantage of the Harbour Town Trolley. You can catch it at the Greenwood Drive Lot, just inside the entrance to Sea Pines. The Trolley runs every 20 minutes.
