The Rusty Parrot | A true Pirate experience (2024)

“This pirate experience is like nothing else in St Maarten, this immersive walk-through special effects attraction brings you the true story of Captain Jack.”

Board the Rusty Parrot and join captain Raphael and his team to embark on a pirate adventure! The lights and projections are state of the art and take you back in time bringing the true story of Caribbean Pirate Jack Rackham to life.

Moving through the belly of the ship the epic journey of Jack unfolds. Children and adults are submerged in the world of pirates and will be scrambling for their sea legs.

And no matter if you’re an English, Dutch, French, Spanish or German Pirate, the ship will adjust to its crew! The story is offered in five languages and runs numerous shows throughout the day.

Once you have followed Jack on his adventures head up to The Tavern on the top deck and enjoy a local rum cocktail while taking in the awesome 360-degree view of Philipsburg and Great Bay.
Try the organic handmade rum with hibiscus flavor. Before leaving make sure to step into the store to take home a bottle of the Rusty Parrot Rum or one of the other unique souvenirs from their pirate ‘bootique’.
The Rusty Parrot is a true Caribbean pirate experience where you feel like a pirate on this journey for love and pirate booty. The price of a ticket is $24 for adults and $18 for kids under 12 which includes the walk through Pirate Experience and a drink at the end.

It was a lifelong dream for Raphael to run a Pirate experience and we love to see the passion he has for this project. Say hi to him and his team from us at (We Are SXM).

We had a great time. We learned a lot about piratry in the Carribean. Fun activity with the kids, even on a rainy day.

Came with some friends and kids, everybody loved it. Something really new for SXM and lots of fun for Kids & adults. Raphael and Anouk are super friendly and take great care of you. Recommendation to visit!

Raphael heeft er echt iets moois van gemaakt, het zeker een leuke ervaring voor jong en oud.
Het winkeltje was toen nog niet klaar. Maar de rum heb ik al wel geproefd en is super lekker

Was lucky to be one of the first ones to experience this tour, when owner Raphael showed me around. A very unique adventure thats new to Sint Maarten. This definitely brings technology to a next level for a Caribbean Island. The story is nicely told and once you exit the show you feel a little bit like a pirate haha. (Reminded me of the old days as a kid).

Can definitely recommend this fun tour and nice bar with beautiful views, was also surprised by the nice shirts and souvenirs they have. Am now proudly wearing a "Rusty Parrot, Pirate Experience" T-Shirt!
