An Indoor Lagoon

When you take your seats in our theater, your eyes will be drawn to our 15-foot-deep lagoon. The lagoon, which is called Buccaneer Bay, holds more than 600,000 gallons of water and allows us to incorporate high-diving tricks and beautiful mermaid stunts.

Two Full-Sized Pirate Ships

In the lagoon, you’ll find two full-sized pirate ships. The ships paint the scene for the pirate battle perfectly. Watch as the pirates scale the sides of the ships and battle each other on land, on deck, in the air, and high above the water. The ships are the perfect stage for an evening filled with high seas escapades and romance.

Epic Pirate Battles

Speaking of pirate battles, guests will be on the edge of their seats as they watch the Crimson and Sapphire crews fight to be the ones to come out on top with the sunken treasure. During their battle, you’ll witness sword fighting, pyrotechnics, diving, and more.

Mermaids

Mermaids also join in on the action in Buccaneer Bay! Watch as they perform gracefully high above the lagoon before diving back into the water. The aerial and diving stunts will have your eyes glued to the center of the theater!

Live Animal Tricks

Pirates and mermaids aren’t the only performers who get to have fun. We also have live animals! Sea lions, dogs, and birds all get to show off their skills. Experience sea lions performing clever tricks, tropical birds taking flight, and daring dogs diving off the dock. Our animals add a whole new level of excitement to the show!

Fire Acts

You can also expect to see impressive fire acts at our Panama City Beach theater. The show features pyrotechnics and more tricks that will light up Buccaneer Bay in flames!

Dolly Parton Influence

One thing that makes our Panama City Beach dinner show special is Dolly Parton’s influence. Dolly Parton loves to dream big, and she went “overboard” with all the details that went into creating Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show! You can expect to feel her influence throughout the show. Listen closely while you’re here because you’ll even hear a few songs she wrote specifically for the show!

Four-Course Feast
