Urban Pirates offers family adventure cruises in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The pirate ship called "Fearless" is based out of Fell's Point, which is rich in nautical history itself and provides many shops and resturants. The adventure takes about an hour and a half; dressing up, tattoos, face painting happens on the boat prior to departure, and gives everyone a chance to get there on time. The cruise itself consists of three pirates leading an interactive pirate adventure- lots of songs, dancing, games, and of course treasure. All are encouraged to participate and adults usually have as much fun as the kids blasting the water cannons at the attacking Mad Dog Mike in his Cannon Dodger boat. It's a good idea to plan to arrive early as parking in Fell's Point can be tricky, but a phone call to the Urban Pirates crew will keep them at the dock while you run down the cobble stone streets, they have even been known to park a customer's car for them in time of haste. Bring along some water and enjoy your day at "sea" with the beautiful sights of Baltimore from the water surrounding you, and songs of happy children fill your ears. The kids will feel like they've been to Disney in just a short excursion, and your pockets won't hurt too much, the prices are good for such a jam packed hour- leaving you enough for ice cream or lunch afterward.
All in all it makes for a great escape for adults and children, and who doesn't need a little adventure in their lives? Enjoy!
