Thar Be Pirates!

Friday, August 21, 2026

Ahoy! Let us show you a wicked good time as you join the crew of the notorious Captain Kidd for an exclusive night of pirate fun on the Connecticut River.

Join a gathering of the legendary pirates of New England as they celebrate the most notorious dread pirate of them all aboard the Becky Thatcher, the famed riverboat overtaken by a rowdy crew for this very occasion.

Listen and sing along to ancient sea shanties that speak to the life of a pirate!

Board a train that takes you back to the time when pirates scoured the seas, river, and sound. The train will stop at Deep River Landing where you will be greeted with a complimentary cocktail and board the Becky Thatcher for a 1.5 hour cruise featuring specialty drinks, sea shanties, giveaways and more.

Come aboard if you dare…..
