The was a lot of fun. When we arrived at the jetty, an elderly couple departed the boat before us and told us 'You're going to have a great time' as they walked past us. We were greeted by Pirate George, who ticked our names off and then told us to walk the plank to board the boat. After all the passengers were onboard, Pirate George introduced us to his first mate Pirate Mike, and we were told some safety instructions. After that, it was time for us to set sail.



The cruise was really pleasant. We were lucky enough to go on a day where there was really good weather. The sun wasn't too hot, there was a slight wind and the water wasn't too choppy. Pirate George was an excellent tour guide. He reminded me a lot of Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean films. He stayed in character for the whole cruise and had some pretty good jokes. He called my drink bottle 'a bottle of rum' and jumped in front of us and brandished his sword which he said was the finest sword he could get… in Spotlight.



We were lucky enough to spot a couple of bottlenose dolphins and we saw several birds skimming the surface of the water. Pirate George encouraged us to shake our fists and swords at any passing vessel and shout 'Argh!' like a pirate. We got a lot of smiles from other people and a few shook their fists and shouted back at us. Several kids were allowed to stand at the front of the vessel and pretend to steer it and Pirate George posed for pictures and had sword fights with several kids.

The was a lot of fun for adults and children. Pirate George got a lot of laughs with his crazy antics and jokes and we all had a good time sailing the Mandurah canals and checking out the prestigious mansions. For more information about the Pirate Cruise Mandurah, please visit their website.
