Visiting Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has the tendency to bring out one’s pirate side, and there’s no better way to begin a swashbuckling adventure than at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show. The thrill of the seven seas comes to life on Friday, February 14 in this fun and daring escapade that features pirates, mermaids, live animals and an abundance of adventures on the quest to find the coveted pirate treasure. Guests will be immersed in the captivating endeavors of pirate legends, complemented with a four-course captain’s feast to fuel the thrilling voyage and great memories.
“My Pirates Voyage will take folks on an adventure they’ll always remember,” Dolly said. “I love seeing all the comments where families tell us how much they love experiencing all of the unique entertainment in the show – the pirate ‘battles’ and acrobatics, the beautiful mermaids, and those adorable animals in the show. And everybody should come hungry for the four-course pirate feast! It always warms my heart to know that people are making memories at my show that will last a lifetime.”
The excitement takes place in Buccaneer Bay, where a daring and diverse cast of characters skillfully blend acrobatics, pyrotechnics, music, animals and all things pirate into a riveting evening of adventure. In a captivating “battle” to acquire Davy Jones’ sought-after treasure, a slew of sword fights, blazing cannons and pirates scaling high above two full-sized pirate ships transpires. High-flying mermaids gracefully soar above the depths of the Buccaneer Bay lagoon, while audience favorite “Salty” the sea lion and his castaway friends use their pirate wit to outsmart the notorious Captain Blackbeard. Guests will enjoy unexpected thrills as they cheer on the gallant Sapphire and Crimson crewmates in epic battles on land, on deck and in the water of the show’s 15-foot indoor hideaway lagoon.

As they leave the gang plank for the deepest depths of the ocean, guests will plunge into a glowing wonderland just below the water’s surface where colorful giant sea turtles, jellyfish and seahorses will take visitors to depths of adventure, amazement and family fun.
Of course, no Pirates Voyage show is complete without its famous four-course feast. This bountiful meal fit for a pirate – or mermaid – starts with a hearty helping of voyager creamy vegetable soup and a buccaneer biscuit, followed by half o’ roasted chicken, swashbucklin’ sugar-cured ham, buttery corn on the cob and matey’s mac and cheese.
