Full details

Florida was a well-known pirate hang-out in the 17th and 18th centuries – both Captain Kidd and Blackbeard were active here – so it makes sense to upgrade your Clearwater Beach Tour and get a taste of those buccaneering times. Nobody will be forced to walk the plank, but we’ll show you the true fun way to have a pirate experience, courtesy of Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise from Clearwater Marina.

Our guide to Clearwater Beach Tour & Captain Memos Pirate Cruise

Take a break from Orlando's theme parks and enjoy a sun-filled day on Florida's number 1 rated beach. Clearwater Beach offers Florida's premier seaside experience with a seemingly endless expanse of wide, open beachfront to suit every bucket and spade! This Gray Line Orlando Tour whisks you from Orlando to the beautiful Gulf Coast and sets you down in prime beach territory, within easy reach of the gently lapping waves, the many bars and restaurants, the iconic Clearwater Pier and the beautiful Beach Walk - a one-mile stretch of winding promenade that links many of the beach attractions.

There is plenty of free time to kick back and relax on Clearwater's famous sugar-white sands or enjoy a swim in the azure gulf coast waters. A $20 gift card per adult and a $10 gift card per child is provided for customers who choose the lunch ticket option, giving you the flexibility to choose what you eat at a classic beachside restaurant. Enjoy the view while you refuel with a tasty meal that highlights the local seafood and other tempting dishes. The gift card can be used for anything at any of the Crabbys group locations at Clearwater Beach - Crabby’s Bar & Grill, Crabby’s Dockside, Crabby’s Hideaway, Salty’s Island Bar & Grill, The Salty Crab North Beach.

In the early afternoon join Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise for a taste of pirate life. Sailing from the heart of gorgeous Clearwater Beach – within walking distance of many of the attractions and the iconic Pier 60 – Captain Memo’s is tailor-made for a genuine family-friendly two-hour excursion aboard the Pirate’s Ransom. It all starts with a hearty “Welcome aboard!” from the Captain’s crew before the ship sets sail for the glistening, calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where it’s perfectly possible to spot dolphins frolicking along the shore and the views of this eye-catching coastline are positively panoramic. Every voyage offers the chance to immerse yourself in pirate antics during the two-hour odyssey, which always includes a treasure hunt, face painting, water gun games, story-telling, and dancing for all ages. 

It’s a complete entertainment package from start to finish, as well as a way just to soak up the sun and enjoy the sea-going vibe, which hits its peak in this part of “America’s Beach.” The cruise is suitable for all ages, and children, in particular, get a huge kick out of it. And, for all its period style, the Pirate’s Ransom is a fully modern vessel built to US Coast Guard requirements.
