BOARDED! A New Pirate Adventure presented by San Diego Pirate Adventures

Your adventure may take place aboard either the San Salvador, a replica 16th-century Spanish galleon, or the schooner Californian, depending on vessel availability.

Whether you're a local or a visitor, this unforgettable experience is the perfect way to explore San Diego from a unique perspective.

This hilarious interactive show puts visitors right in the middle of the pirate action. Participants will be sworn in as part of the ship's crew, trained how to navigate, sword fight, bail water from a sinking ship, escape from the King's Jail, swab the deck, and learn other pirate skills. Performances are 90 minutes. Choose from two shows at 10:30 a.m. or 12:45 p.m. on select Saturdays, March 21, May 16, June 13, July 11, August 15, October 10, November 28 and December 26, 2026. 

Please check-in 15 to 30 minutes before your reserved show time.

PLEASE NOTE: The BOARDED! Pirate Show includes simulated gunfire, which may frighten young children. If your child is sensitive to loud sounds, we recommend bringing ear plugs.

Sails are not set during BOARDED! cruises on San Diego Bay.
