A: Besides our public health response, we fully comply with U.S. Coast Guard standards for safety and security of a commercial passenger vessel. A Safety and Operations inspection is conducted every morning before we start our day and at various times throughout each day.
Q: What happens if the weather cancels our cruise?
A: In the event of or possibility of inclement weather, we will be in touch with your group’s main contact to reschedule your cruise or provide a refund.
Q: Will I get seasick on the Pirate Ship?
A: The Jolly Roger is a converted 26′ Bayliner Rendezvous pontoon boat. It is extremely steady on most conditions, even when jumping around. As stable as it is, some people are very susceptible to motion sickness and in that event we encourage those passengers to eat lightly and drink ginger ale to calm their stomach’s prior to boarding. Once motion sickness sets in, there is very little that can be done.
Q: Where do we meet the Pirate Ship at?
A: Along the North Shore of the Allegheny River near PNC Park. There will be a ticket agent there to help organize your group, provide a safety brief, and answer any of your questions. Trust us when we say that you won’t mistake our Pirate Ship for anything else on the rivers!
