What to Do When Visiting Pirates Voyage in Myrtle Beach for the First Time

January 14, 2025

Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is the best thing to do in Myrtle Beach! If you’ve never been to see our show before, it’s a must-visit on your next vacation. When you do come to see us, we want to make sure you’re all set to have the best time while you’re here! That’s why we’ve created a guide of what to do when visiting Pirates Voyage in Myrtle Beach for the first time.

Bring Your Family Along

Our first suggestion is to bring your family along. We all know that getting to share things with the people you love makes them even more special, which is why you’ll want to share your first experience at our show with your family! Our family-friendly Myrtle Beach show is great for all ages. We designed an attraction that kids, teens, adults, and seniors will love! Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to take a family photo together in our theater before the show — it’s the perfect souvenir to take back home with you.

Book an Animal Encounter

Since it’s your first visit to our show, you’re going to want to go all out to take advantage of the full experience! That’s why we recommend booking our Animal Encounter. You can get tickets for this special encounter on the same day of your show. It invites guests to get up close and personal with our talented animal performers before you see them showcase their skills in our indoor hideaway lagoon! Meet Salty the sea lion, our daring dogs, and beautiful birds, and learn more about their positive reinforcement training and how we care for them. It’s the perfect way to kick off your time at our Myrtle Beach theater!

Join the Crew

The next thing you’ll want to do is Join the Crew! Captain Blackbeard and his crew are scouring Pirates Voyage for their next recruits before the show, and you could be one of them. During this pre-show experience, guests can choose to be transformed into a swashbuckling pirate or a mystical mermaid, complete with facial makeup and accessories. It’s a popular activity among kids, but it’s available for the whole family for an additional fee!

Enjoy Two Shows for the Price of One

Once you’ve been transformed into a pirate or a mermaid, get comfortable in Pirates Village to enjoy our pre-show entertainment! Our pre-show includes a fun, pirate-themed sing-along, pirate grub, and refreshing drinks. It’s like getting two shows for the price of one!

Get a Cheering Flag

We also recommend stopping by Pirates Treasure before the show to pick yourself up a cheering flag! We have flags available for both the Crimson and Sapphire crews. Choose the one for the crew you’re rooting for so you can wave it and cheer along during the show! Our gift shop has a variety of other items that make the perfect souvenirs, from unique t-shirts to handcrafted pirate ships to plush animals and toy swords. You can find something for every pirate-lover in your family!

Dig into the Pirate Feast

Myrtle Beach Feast UPDATED

When you’re at Pirates Voyage in Myrtle Beach for the first time, one thing you’re probably most excited about is our four-course pirate feast! Be sure you come hungry when you visit our dinner show. The feast begins with our Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup, which is always a crowd favorite, along with a Buccaneer Biscuit. Next, you’ll be served Half O’ Roasted Chicken, Swashbucklin’ Sugar-Cured Ham, Cob O’ Buttery Corn, and Matey’s Mac ‘n’ Cheese. We end the meal on a sweet note with your choice of Apple O’ Me Eye Pie or Chocolate Coconut Cake! To drink, we serve unlimited Coca-Cola®, tea, or coffee. We also offer special meals upon request for those with dietary restrictions. Everyone will leave our theater feeling full and happy!

Watch the Swashbuckling Show

Be ready for an action-packed show when you visit Pirates Voyage in Myrtle Beach! There won’t be a dull moment throughout the entire evening as the audience is swept away in a tale of high seas escapades and romance. Watch as the Crimson and Sapphire crews battle for lost treasure on land, on deck, in water, and high above their full-sized pirate ships! Sword fighting, acrobatics, diving, pyrotechnics, a phosphorescent wonderland, and live animal tricks all come together to form a swashbuckling show you’ll remember long after it’s over. You’ll be on the edge of your seats the whole night as you witness the fun, feast, and adventure at our dinner attraction.
