Yes, getting there is a bit of a project. But vacationers have been braving the ferry for years, and this tiny island off Cape Cod remains one of the most popular and picturesque destinations in New England. Among the island's towns, you're sure to find the Vineyard that's right for you. With stately Greek revival houses dating back to the whaling era of the early 19th century, Edgartown is a seaside village of boutique shopping and pristine harbor views. For more of a "beach town" feel, Oak Bluffs has the Flying Horses carousel, an arcade and an easy walk to the beach, plus the history and charm of the "gingerbread" houses in the Methodist campgrounds. Vineyard Haven offers visitors a blend of both. For a real retreat, Chilmark/Aquinnah is the place to get away from it all. In the off-season, the island is quieter and far less crowded, but the shore is always beautiful. Whenever you visit, leave your car behind! Cabs are plentiful and greet the incoming ferries to help you reach your destination. Most visitors prefer to explore the island on a bicycle, scooter or tourist-friendly public buses.

Ahoy mateys! Join us as we set sail on a pirate's treasure hunt along the shores of beautiful and historic Oak Bluffs on the legendary island of Martha's Vineyard. On our custom pirate ship your kids will dress and talk like a pirate, assemble a treasure map, battle rival pirates with water cannons and hoist sunken treasure from the ocean floor! Once aboard the Sea Gypsy, we must work together to build a treasure map and determine our course. Along the way, we find a message in a bottle and discover that Stinky Pete, the Island’s smelliest pirate, has stolen the keys! We must raise the battle flag, fight off our enemy with water cannons, and steal back the keys to claim our treasure! The voyage culminates as we discover where "X" marks the spot...we must work as a team (heave-ho!) to raise the treasure chest from the ocean as it's heavy with sea water and sparkling booty. Every one of the crew will be rewarded for their efforts and take home their fair share of the loot. There’s singin’, dancin’, and drinkin’ of pirate grog as we sail back to port victorious in our spoils. You’ll be amazed how quickly the Pirate Adventures crew taps into the wonder of your child’s imagination. This wholesome, family-oriented cruise is perfect thing to do on a day trip, vacation, weekend or really just about anytime your are seeking a child-friendly and action-packed bunch of fun while on MV. There is a reason why Pirate Adventures is ranked high on a family’s vacation highlights. This isn’t a performance by actors - this is a highly interactive pirate experience where each of our trained crew makes sure your child is involved and engaged throughout the whole journey. It's a fun, unique, memory-making adventure cruise designed for families by a family (a pirate family of course).
