The Experience
Pattaya's Legendary Black Pearl Pirate Ship
The Black Pearl is no ordinary Pattaya pirate ship. It is a 100-foot, three-mast galleon with a glowing LED-lit hull, the largest vintage pirate ship in Thailand and a genuine head-turner as it sails out of Bali Hai Pier at the south end of Walking Street. Forget the fleet of white fibreglass yachts lining the coast; this is a proper pirate galleon built for a full day of adventure on the Gulf of Thailand.
Known as Black Cruise Pattaya, Black Pearl Pattaya and Black Boat Pattaya, the ship runs public family day cruises every Wednesday and Sunday. Every ticket unlocks a floating sea pool, a water slide, clear kayaks and paddle boards, snorkelling gear and a hearty Thai lunch buffet, all set against uninterrupted views of the Pattaya coastline. Prices start from just ฿1,600 per person, with children aged 4 to 11 welcome on Window Side seats.

What to Expect on Your Day Cruise
Your day begins at Bali Hai Pier at the south end of Walking Street, where the LED-lit Black Pearl is impossible to miss. Once aboard, the open sun deck opens up sweeping views of the Pattaya coastline as the ship sails out. This is where the fun starts: dive into the floating sea pool, race down the water slide, glide over the water in a clear kayak or on a paddle board, and pull on snorkelling gear to explore beneath the surface.
Back on deck, a Thai lunch buffet is served with seasonal fruit and drinking water, and the KTV karaoke keeps things lively for those who fancy a sing. Life jackets are provided throughout, so parents can relax while the kids play. Vegetarian meals are available on request; seafood is not included in the buffet.
Seats, Pricing and Private Charters
Public day cruises offer three seating options: an Outdoor Sun Bed at ฿1,600 per adult, a High Stool Bar Seat at ฿1,800 per adult, and a Window Side Seat at ฿2,300 per adult or ฿1,600 per child. Children aged 4 to 11 are welcome on Window Side seats only. Every ticket includes the same watersports, buffet and amenities, so the choice is simply about where you prefer to sit.
Want the whole ship to yourself? The entire Black Pearl can be chartered privately for 2 to 8 hours, hosting 30 to 100 guests for birthdays, bachelor and hen parties, weddings and corporate events. Private charters can also arrange evening, sunset and dinner experiences plus themed music such as Bollywood via the KTV or DJ setup, options not offered on the public day sails.

Guest Reviews
Real experiences from guests who lived the Black Cruise magic.
The pirate ship is stunning and the floating pool was the highlight — best day we had in Pattaya!
Water slide, kayaks, KTV and a great buffet — brilliant value and so much fun for our group.
Swimming off the deck with the Pattaya skyline behind us was unreal. The crew were lovely too.
