About

Immerse yourself in the stories of Real Pirates! The experience features the tale of Black Sam Bellamy – one of the youngest, most successful pirates of all time, and Maria Hallett, the love of his life and so-called “Witch of Wellfleet.” Meet the crew and follow their journey as they seek fortune on the high seas, find success, and ultimately meet their untimely fates off the coast of Cape Cod.

Explore our Discovery Lab where you can witness artifacts being unearthed by trained archaeologists in real time, become a Real Pirate through our complimentary photo experience, and visit our gift shop for a memorable keepsake. Adventure awaits!
