Sail On Black Dragon Cruises In Texas For A Pirate Themed Adventure

Ahoy, mateys! Nothing says summertime quite like sailing the ocean blue on a pirate ship, and you can do just that with Black Dragon Cruises in Port Isabel. This nautical adventure is fun for the whole family with its realistic design and a slew of themed activities.

Docked at the Port Isabel lighthouse, the Black Dragon is a modern-day replica of a 17th-century galleon. The likes of Jean Lafitte once sailed these very waters, and you, matey, can follow in his footsteps.

The ship is 75 feet long, weighs 80 gross tons, and features four decks of adventure. Her tallest mast is the height of a five-story building, and she boasts a top speed of 12 knots.

She mounts 10 cannons, which are fired by computer with an array of visual and audio sound effects. Watching them fire is like pulling up a front-row seat to a real naval battle.

Aboard a Black Dragon Cruise, guests are entertained by a crew of professional pirates. Treasure hunts, face painting, water pistol fights, and music are just some of the activities offered.

Grab a sword and go head-to-head with crew members and your own friends and family. Loser has to walk the plank!

TripAdvisor/Laura A.

Snacks and drinks (including alcoholic beverages for the grownup pirates) are available for purchase on the ship. Sipping a cold drink while watching the sunset reflect on the water is truly an unforgettable experience.
