Clearwater Beach Day Trip from Orlando Including Pirate Cruise
Orlando, United States of America
Leave Orlando behind and spend the day having fun in the sun at Clearwater Beach! Set sail on Captain Memo's pirate cruise aboard the ‘Pirate’s Ransom’ and enjoy your free time swimming in the sparkling waters or strolling the streets of Clearwater. Round-trip transportation from select Orlando locations plus drinks and lunch voucher are included.
After an approximate 1.5-hour bus ride from Orlando, arrive in Clearwater to enjoy the beach or some sightseeing. Fritter a few hours away while basking under the sun before lunch, using your meal voucher at a nearby street café.
Then, hop aboard Captain Memo's pirate ship and set sail for a two-hour cruise in the afternoon. Go back in time and become a seafaring buccaneer with Captain Memo’s fabulous crew – an adventure you won’t forget!
Enjoy the sounds of reggae and steel band music playing throughout the rigging of the 70-foot (21-meter) Pirate's Ransom. As you sail through open waters in the Gulf of Mexico, keep an eye out for bottlenose dolphins playing in the waves.
While on board, belly up to the bar with unlimited soft drinks, beer or wine. A full bar is available for those who like to indulge in a bit more. Back on the Clearwater Beach, your time is yours to do as you wish – go for a swim and bodyboard in the waves, or walk along an endless stretch of soft sand.
If you wish, browse the souvenir shops or just stay on the beach, where you can rent watersports equipment or a beach umbrella and lounge chair. You’ll have about seven to eight hours total in Clearwater, depending on traffic from Orlando.
Upon arriving on the bus, the host was nice. However, upon using the bathroom on the bus, their wasn't any hand-wipes nor hand santitizer. There was nothing to clean your hands after relieving yourself nor sink. I asked the host if I can have something to clean my hands, he said he would be right with me and never gave me anything. That alone was disgusting.

Would recommend this day trip to everyone!. Clearwater is lovely and clean, with a beach to 'die for'!. And the Pirate Cruise is fantastic, the crew really interact with the 'young-uns' on board, and they look after you really well._br/_ Will definately return for this great day out.

It was a nice tour, but not as great as I expected. We were picked up late and by the time we got off the bus in Clearwater, we didn't have much more than an hour on the beach we were doing the pirate cruise, so needed time to eat lunch. The Cruise was nice, but seemed we mostly circled near the shore. We were travelling with a 3 year old, so after returning from the cruise there wasn't really enough time to do anything except wait for the bus. Although the driver was friendly, the ride was nothing great. Felt the tour was not really worth the almost 300 CAD we paid for three of us.

We had a great day at the beach. The dolphins even joined us near shore to frolick I the shallow water! Captain Memo and crew were terrific. Highly recommended!

The Pirate Dolphin Boat ride is great for children. My kids were 12 and 17 but we still had a great time. The music was great and it was very relaxing. The crew is A. I'd love to do this again. More time on the beach would have been nice - leave later from Clearwater.
