Salty Sam’s Patriot Pirate Cruise

Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary aboard the legendary Pieces of Eight Pirate Ship during the inaugural Salty Sam’s Patriot Boat Parade on Saturday, June 27th!

This special 90-minute Patriot Pirate Cruise departs Salty Sam’s Marina at 11:00 AM and gives guests a front-row seat to one of the most patriotic boating events ever held on Fort Myers Beach. The pirate ship will lead the festivities as part of the first half of the official boat parade route, cruising alongside a flotilla of decorated vessels displaying American flags, patriotic decorations, and plenty of red, white, and blue spirit.

Due to the vessel’s size and water depth restrictions around portions of Estero Island, the Pieces of Eight will participate in the first half of the parade and will not complete the full island circumnavigation. Guests will enjoy the excitement of the parade, incredible waterfront views, and the unique experience of being part of this historic celebration on the water.

We encourage all guests to wear their favorite red, white, and blue attire as we commemorate 250 years of American freedom. Enjoy swashbuckling pirate entertainment, patriotic fun, a full bar for adults, and onboard restrooms while celebrating this milestone anniversary with family and friends.

Space is limited for this special event. Gather your crew, show your American pride, and join us aboard the Pieces of Eight for a patriotic adventure unlike any other on Fort Myers Beach!
