Overview

A pirate-themed sailboat leaves Palm Beach late in the afternoon for a three-hour adults-only party on the water. Jolly Pirates Sailing Cruises & Snorkeling runs the trip with an open bar, a barbecue dinner, a live DJ, and a rope swing off the side of the ship. The sail departs at 17:30 and returns to the same spot after dark.

The evening tends to follow a loose rhythm. Drinks flow from the start, the DJ plays for the whole crowd, and the crew keeps people dancing between the barbecue service and turns on the rope swing. Reviewers consistently single out the crew, describing them as attentive, fun, and quick to show first-timers how the swing works. Dinner has included barbecue chicken and ribs, with sides such as coleslaw and potato salad, and some sailings have served turkey legs and macaroni and cheese instead.

This suits travelers who want a loud, social evening rather than a quiet sunset sail. The boat carries up to 50 people, so expect a crowd and a party atmosphere. Anyone hoping for calm views alone on the deck should look elsewhere; anyone celebrating a birthday or a last night on the island will fit right in.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the evening go smoothly, from what to wear to how the night actually feels.

Who it suits. This is an adults-only experience built around music, drinks, and dancing. Multiple reviews describe the night as high energy from start to finish, so it works best for travelers who want a party on the water.
What to wear. Towels and swimwear are not provided, so bring both if you plan to use the rope swing. The listing notes these as the two items travelers must supply themselves.
Food and drink. The barbecue dinner and alcoholic beverages are both included. Reviewers mention chicken, ribs, turkey legs, macaroni and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, and dessert kabobs, with several calling the food better than expected.
Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included. You need to make your own way to the Jolly Pirates gift shop beside the bar at Moomba Beach, between the Holiday Inn and Marriott, 30 minutes before the 17:30 departure.
The rope swing. The swing is optional but a highlight for many. One reviewer who is afraid of heights said the first go is the hardest and that it becomes addictive, and a review notes the crew showed guests how to do the swing.
Group feel. Up to 50 travelers share the boat, so the feel is a crowd, not a small gathering. Multiple reviews praise the crew for making everyone feel included and for keeping the energy up all night.

Common issues. The cruise is not wheelchair accessible and the listing advises against it for travelers with back problems or serious heart conditions. It requires a minimum number of bookings to run, and if that minimum is not met you are offered a different date, a different experience, or a full refund; the same applies to weather cancellations. One reviewer reported a scheduling mismatch between the booking page and the operator's actual sailing days, which left them unable to reschedule on their last night. With up to 50 people on board, anyone wanting a quiet or intimate sunset will find it loud.
