    Fantastic pirate event

    So fun and engaging! The entire crew made it a fun and memorable event! So many laughs, singing and the best lobster I've ever had! Great job! I highly recommend this excursion. Danny was amazing and our pirate Albie was awesome! The band was just perfect! Thanks again from the Idaho family!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing this adventure with us! We are glad that you enjoyed the show and the pirate experience

    This was our third time taking this adventure, and even though the story line has not changed, we enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time we saw it! The cast and crew members are simply amazing. They're hands on and solid dudes. We were so well taken care of. Raven has been our pirate twice now, and both times he was excellent. Our cups were never empty, and we were always very confident with what we were supposed to be doing- from the dock to the boat and back, we felt like we were covered! The show itself is amazing. It's funny, it's adventurous, just delightful. The first time we went was with adults only, and then we had to come back with each of our kids. They absolutely loved it, and everyone was so great to them! Seriously, no complaints. A great experience well worth the price. Food was decent, atmosphere fantastic. So cool. Everything from the deck to below, even the bathrooms- you gotta check it out!

    Response from the operator: For a pirate, the most important thing is to keep things fun and the cups filled out! We are happy to have another year with you, we'll keep improving and the party going We hope to see you again soon!

    A unique experience!

    I'm a solo traveller on a Contiki tour and this was our evening activity last night. High energy, alcohol-fuelled, singing, dancing, comedy. The performers costumes and personas were very appealing and entertaining especially in the first hour or so of our arrival - you could hear the show from the dock before embarking! Lots of clapping and cheering and all round a good time. Dinner was below deck and had a dark and moody atmosphere which kept the theme alive throughout the entirety of our stay. Food itself was average but the portion was decent. Cocktails were great! I only drank the margaritas but the strawberry daiquiri and pina colada were also very popular. I will say once the show resumed after dinner I kinda lost the storyline and others in my group agreed. This made it feel like it went for too long as people started getting tired or a bit over it. Don't get me wrong, acting was amazing and there was some theatrics towards the end that I won't spoil which livened it up a bit but think they would've been better off doing more songs and crows work like at the start just keep engagement at a maximum. Overall this was a great experience for all ages (although there's mild sexual themes) would also make a good bachelorette party or maybe something different for older couples and experienced travellers. 130 USD / 200 AUD / 2217 Mexican Pesos. (Public price is higher) Whilst I did have a great time I would not normally pay that much however I did include a meal and unlimited bar so I suppose if you drink it probably works out okay price-wise.

    Response from the operator: We truly appreciate such a detailed review of your experience It's great to know that you had such a great time with the staff performance, we'll take notes on your comments to keep improving We hope to see you again soon!

    Pirates of the Bay is a must see in PV

    Pirates of the Bay did not disappoint. So glad our Sunwing rep Isreal suggested it to the family. We were a group of 7 including my dad who has mobility issues and they helped him out when needed. Our personal Pirate Hash never let our drinks stay empty for long and was the perfect host. Our show was in the evening and had a supper held below deck. The food was phenomenal. But the biggest surprise was the washroom!! I won’t give it away. If you are up for a night of fun, never ending drinks and a party then this is the tour for you!! Arrrr

    Response from the operator: Our pirates may be fearsome, but they will always look out for their own! No drinks will be left empty and everyone will have a smile singing with the crew We are glad to know that you family had such a great time with the staff, the boat and the food. We hope to get another chance to welcome you again!

    Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta cost?

    +

    Prices start at $233 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    Included: Dinner; National open bar on board; Trip around the bay; Pirate show; and Fireworks. Not included: Port fee (3 USD) per person; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    The customer must arrive in time at the meeting point for the check in. The place can be identify as Pirates of the bay boutique store Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Incredible Nightly Pirate Show in the Bay of Puerto Vallarta if the weather is bad?

    +
