Black Raven Adventures

Black Raven Adventures hosts the only live, interactive pirate cruises in St. Augustine. The Black Raven was designed and built to be a floating performance stage, and the talented crew of buccaneer lads and lasses engage the audience as they present their live, unscripted show on all things pirate. Black Raven Adventures offers several cruising options.

Please note that the departure times change with the seasons.

Treasure Hunt — Suitable for All Ages

About the Show:  The show starts when a small group of pirates from Queen Anne's Revenge steal the treasure chest from the stalwart Black Raven crew. A sea chase, sword fight, and cannon fire culminate in a sea battle between the two ships. Along the way, there are plenty of activities for kids and adults, including treasure sharing, sword fighting lessons, face painting, and the opportunity to purchase food and snacks from the ship's bar.

Departure Days and Times: The 90-minute Treasure Hunt departs twice daily in the afternoon during the warm months and once daily in cooler weather.

Admission: Tickets are $44.95 for adults, $39.95 for children ages 3-12, and toddlers two and younger are $12.95. Seniors, aged 55 and older, are $41.95. A family pack for two adults and two children is $160.00.

Rum Runner Cruise — Adults 21+ Only

About this Cruise: This adult-oriented and audience-driven show is not for the easily offended and is full of outrageous fun aboard the ship. Enjoy a mix of songs, jokes, skits, and stories, all delivered pirate-style and unscripted, as the lively crew interacts with the audience. A cash bar is available. This is an adult cruise—only those 21 and older may purchase tickets. A parent on the trip may purchase a ticket for their child who is at least 18 years old.

Departure Days and Times: The tour departs on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The schedule moves with the sun: 7:15 p.m. in the dark of winter, 8:15 p.m. on both ends of summer, and 9:15 p.m. in summer.

Admission: Tickets are $36.95 for seniors older than 55, $39.95 for adults aged 21 to 54. Ask about priority seating and the adult birthday party package.

Birthday Party for Adults 21 and Older

A mutiny trial for the birthday celebrant can be arranged during the Rum Runner Adventure. The charges for the public mutiny are crimes reported by the celebrant's friends and family. Once the trial is over, the birthday guest receives a present from Black Raven's crew. 

The birthday mutiny is $125.00 plus tax, in addition to the group's tickets.

Tropical Sunset Cruise

About this Cruise: This two-hour cruise sails north toward Vilano while the temperature and drinks head south to the tropics. With warm ocean breezes and margaritas and Mai Tais at the cash bar, the only thing missing would be music by Jimmy Buffett or Bob Marley. Black Raven's Steed McQueen fills the void with guitar and vocals—featuring (of course) music by Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley.

Departure Days and Times: The Black Raven departs before sunset, at 4:15 p.m. in the darker months, 5:15 p.m. on the fringe months, and 6:15 p.m. during the summer.

Admission: This cruise is open to all ages: $39.95 for adults, $34.95 per child, and $12.95 for those two and younger. Seniors pay $36.95, and a family pack ticket is available for two adults and two children at $140.00.
