Black Raven's Nights of Lights Cruise

Nights of Lights aboard the Black Raven

Every year, the Black Raven  hosts a Nights of Lights cruise with pirates, holiday singing, and a bit of hijinks. Nightly, from November 16 through December 31, 2025, the Black Raven Pirate Ship heads north through the Bridge of Lions on a two-hour cruise along the Bayfront. Enjoy sliding under the raised bridge, watch the town glow from the sunset, and see the Nights of Lights become brighter as the evening turns to night. 

• What: This two-hour boat tour offers a spectacular view of sunset, as the city begins to sparkle with holiday lights. Experience life on a pirate ship, sing Christmas carols, grab a drink from the bar, and dance with the crew.
