Emerald City Pirates
Founded in 2017, we are one of Seattle's newest and most unique attractions! As Seattle's only full-time pirate ship cruise we offer interactive pirate-themed boat tours in Seattle on the Lake Washington Ship Canal and Lake Union from April-October. Emerald City Pirates gives companies an unique venue for office parties & team building activities.

I heard about Emerald City Pirates through a networking event at the South Lake Union Chamber and thought it would be great for son's 8th Birthday! The team did not let us down. They made for an exciting and fun boat ride and my kids and family enjoyed it! Thanks for a great day!

Join Emerald City Pirates for our Pirate Brews Cruises this summer! We will be featuring beer from our friends at Figurehead Brewing, including a beer brewed especially for our cruises; it's called Queen Anne's Revenge, named after our ship, in the style of India Pirate Ale. After a lot of hard work and pirate courage, Emerald City Pirates launches in Seattle, Washington.

Music can make the difference. Our premium sound system can play any music you choose. We are happy to do the work for you and play our playlist, tailored to your likes and dislikes.

Pete has been so flexible, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. I had to cancel a private booking and he was so understanding and refunded me right away. I’ve been on his public cruises before and they are always an amazing time! Will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

We took this cruise with our four grandchildren age three to seven and it was so o o o o good! The pirates were appropriately scary/funny and the activities were packed with fun and education! We would highly recommend this to everyone because all ages would enjoy it. We're hoping to take the adult cruise next year with our adult children. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful lake.

Wonderful time with my daughter. They kept the kids engaged and laughing the whole time. Lots of fun and excitement. They also accommodated her nut allergy and made a thoughtful announcement at the beginning to other passengers.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend.

Fun filled hour and a half with Trusty John. Great shows and a fun atmosphere with games. Great with kids - Trusty John was attentive and gave his time to every kid and seemed he had a sense of their capabilities. My son is on the Autism spectrum, the speakers were loud at times but had lots of fun and Trusty John gave him the right amount of interaction. They made it fun for adults too and also provide drinks and Snacks for a fair price at their snack shop including adult beverages.

Very fun time. Pirate crew is great. Kids get an adventure, you can participate as much as you want. Wonderful views of Seattle from the water. Kids and us got to pick some loot from the treasure we captured!

This was actually a really cute, fun experience for my 2 little girls (age 5 and 6). The cruise around lake union is about an hour long and the kids attention is taken with activities and games played on board. They also have a store on the ship for snacks and even a few adult cocktails for purchase. The ship was the perfect size so that even seated I could keep my eyes on where my kids were at! Will definitely do this again!

Amazing time out on the water with Emerald City Pirates! We had a party of 21 adults, it fit us perfectly. We were able to bring our own booze (once filling out a banquet permit). Peter and Mickey were so accommodating and extremely friendly. The booking process was a breeze and Peter was very responsive throughout it all. I would highly recommend to anyone, it fits all types of groups and all different ages!
