Name: 21st Annual Pirate Ship Party
Start: 2024-10-26 15:00:00 pm

Set sail for the most thrilling Halloween event on the San Francisco Bay—the 21st Annual Pirate Ship Party: Full Moon Halloween Cruise. On Saturday, October 26, starting at 3 PM, pirates, mermaids, and swashbucklers alike will board a grand 100-foot brigantine sailboat for a night of adventure, revelry, and unforgettable views of the city under the glow of a full moon.

This is no ordinary Halloween party—it’s a full-blown pirate-themed extravaganza. The festivities kick off with a pre-sail mixer, complete with a champagne toast on the dock. Get to know your fellow buccaneers as you toast to the night ahead, surrounded by pirate flags and decorations that set the stage for a high-seas adventure. Once the ship sets sail, you’ll cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge at sunset and circle the haunting shores of Alcatraz with San Francisco’s shimmering skyline as your backdrop. Whether you’re posing for epic photos or participating in a friendly sword-fighting duel, this is the kind of Halloween celebration where memories are made.

Event Highlights:

3-hour sail around the bay, with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and San Francisco’s skyline at sunset
Pre-sail mixer with a champagne toast
Pirate-themed costumes, sword-fighting duels, and prizes for the best costume
Pirate grub, beer, and wine available on board
After-party in Sausalito for more Halloween fun

The 3-hour sail will be packed with pirate-themed fun—there’s grub fit for a pirate, plenty of opportunities for mingling with costumed comrades, and even a chance to help hoist the mainsail with the experienced crew. Feeling competitive? There’s a prize for the most convincing pirate costume of the night, so deck yourself out in your finest pirate gear, whether it’s a sea witch ensemble, an English sailor, or a classic pirate with an eye patch and a parrot on your shoulder.

And the party doesn’t stop when the ship docks. After disembarking, join your crew for an after-party in Sausalito, where the drinks will keep flowing, and the Halloween magic continues late into the night.
