GRAND CAYMAN SHORE EXCURSIONS AND
TOURS

Cayman Pirate Encounter
PRICE: ADULT: 42.00 / CHILD: 34.00 USD
DURATION: 2 Hours Approx.
In the 17th century, Grand Cayman was famous for being a safe
harbor for pirates and their treasure. Today, many Caymanians
are direct descendants of pirates. You can relive the dangerous,
swashbuckling days of long ago when you sign on for the
Cayman Pirate Encounter, a two-hour coastal cruise that takes you
back to the days of the pirate.

During the Pirate Encounter, the crew of the Jolly Roger will
become the pirates of old with their costumes and habits. The
crew is not only qualified seamen, but also skilled entertainers.
From the moment they greet you at the dock you will step back
in time. You will watch in awe as the crew scrambles on the
rigging, hoists the sails and fires the cannon in a mock attack on
your cruise ship. You'll hear pirate tales and swear on oath to the
Pirates Creed of Ethics. This cruise is great for kids of all
ages who can fire the cannon, help hoist the mainsail, and make
their brother or sister walk the plank at the end of a very blunt
sword. You also enjoy a great swim stop to enjoy the waters of
Grand Cayman.

The Jolly Roger is a two-thirds replica of a 17th century galleon,
and is thought to be the same size as Christopher Columbus'
Nina, which crossed the Atlantic three times. It is an 80-foot,
square-rigged sailing galleon with 110 pieces of working rigging.

turtle farm. Our experienced guides explain all about the tiny
hatchlings to the big breeders in their lagoons. You can even pick
up a turtle for a photograph. Our next stop is a visit to Hell, so
named for its unusual rock formations. At sunset, when the
orange sun reflects off the water collected in the pools, it
resembles a burning hellfire. This is a favorite stop to mail
postcards and have them postmarked from Hell.
