Participants will board a pirate-themed ship and take on the role of a cursed crew working together to break an ancient spell. The game accommodates groups of 3 to 6 players, with a maximum of 18 guests per session. Designed for ages 12 and up, the activity requires adult supervision for those under 15.
Live actors in costume guide players through a storyline filled with challenges and interactive elements. A licensed bar is available at the dock prior to boarding, offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Each session includes one hour of sailing time within the overall 90-minute program. The game is played entirely on the open deck, which is equipped with a retractable awning for weather protection.
Organizers advise guests to bring extra layers due to cooler temperatures on the water.
