A Pirate's Life for Me

They call themselves corsairs and buccaneers, freebooters and privateers, but they are scoundrels and rascals none the less.

These infamous pirates are sailing the seven seas, stealing treasures, shooting their powder, drinking rum and enjoying the freedom of the oceans.

​

And you can be one of them!

A real Sailing Adventure

Many pirate experiences are well suited for land people and longshore lubbers. This is different.

​

Skull & Crossbones is a four day sailing event on the Baltic Sea where you get to play a pirate on a traditional sailing ship! You are really sailing on the Baltic Sea. Complete with setting sails, lifting the anchor and if you're lucky you can even helm the ship you are sailing on. 

The best part: you do not need any prior experience!
