Experience the true life of a pirate on this Day Trip, featuring: The Whydah Pirate Museum and a relaxing harbor cruise!
Itinerary
Day 1 - Home - West Yarmouth, MA
Today, you’ll have the opportunity to see how a pirate lived. Grab your mates, your hat, and anything else you may need to explore like a pirate for a day.
Your journey to Cape Cod will bring you to the Whydah Pirate Museum. The ship known as the Whydah was the first pirate shipwreck to be positively identified, and nearly a quarter of a century later, remains the only pirate shipwreck whose identity is unquestionably authenticated. The Whydah may therefore be the only glimpse the world will ever have into the material culture of an extraordinarily secretive group of men who were the pirates of the 17th and 18th century Atlantic world. Originally built as a slave ship, you’ll learn how the pirates came to commandeer the Whydah. Partake in a guided tour as you explore the world of piracy.
In keeping with the theme, lunch will be served at the Lobster Boat. Situated on the scenic Parker’s River, this dining experience will prove to be unique. Please select one of the following: Lobster Roll (with French Fries and Coleslaw), Baked Stuffed Boneless Chicken Breast (with Homemade Stuffing, Baked Potato, and Corn on the Cob), or Baked Haddock (with Baked Potato and Corn on the Cob). All entrees come with: Homemade Cape Cod Chowder, Homemade Baked Bread with Butter, One Hot or Cold Beverage (coffee, tea, iced tea, or soda), and Dessert.
No pirating experience is complete without taking to the sea! Set sail with Hy-Line Cruises as you explore the waters of the Harbor. Relax and enjoy the views as the guide explains the various points of interest you see along the way of the cruise. It’s a fascinating history that includes aspects of the maritime industry, the people who established the waterfront community, and some of the area’s most interesting sights.
