BlueFoot Pirate Adventures

Aho, mateys! An open-water adventure in Fort Lauderdale is guaranteed to bring out the inner pirate in you! Step aboard the BlueFoot Pirate Adventures! 

Rest assured, Mom and Dad, this is a tame and family-friendly excursion, emphasizing fun for the little swashbucklers rather than pirating shenanigans.

But there are a few things to know before putting on your eyepatch. First, it's an interactive experience, so you will talk with your "mateys" and those on your adventure. 

Crewmembers will teach you the art of "buccaneer talk," so you sound like a seafaring pirate of old! Arghh!

Next, you and your crew sail into deeper waters, searching for treasure. And based on patrons' comments, the more you "act" like a pirate, the more you get out of the experience. 

Once a sail on a BlueFoot Pirate Adventures, young pirates get to fire cannons! No, not real ones, but it's all fun, nonetheless! These water cannons shoot streams of water to protect the vessel from other pirates!

While it is a pirate-themed cruise, don't worry about the crew being rude or crass. They are very friendly and are dressed to the T in pirate regalia and exuding buccaneer swag. 

You can buy some things to add to your buccaneer look at the ship, but it's best (and more economical) to bring your own attire.
