Enjoy the annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade and Ring of Lights aboard this storybook Pirate Ship. Tour the entire harbor to view the holiday lights while also having the best seat for viewing the parade; from within! Hot beverages and light refreshments are served throughout the parade to warm you with holiday cheer while you experiencing the festive holiday spirit from the deck of Newport's only Pirate Ship charter boat! What To Expect Onboard: Mayflower is a 1960 Square-Topsail Ketch designed by Hugh Angelman and built by the American Marine shipyard almost entirely out of teak, in a design that harkens back to the 1700s.  She flies up to seven sails at a time inducing the gaff main and mizzen, stay sail, jib, flying jib, square topsail, and course. Any salty old mariner will surely have a smile on their face as they take the helm either on her aft deck or inside the pilot house if the weather is not very warm. On deck there is plenty of room for lounging and taking in the beautiful coastal views! Below decks she is appointed with a Great Cabin at the stern, with two single bunks that are convertible to doubles, and can be divided into two more private sleeping areas with a bulkhead in between. Forward of the midships pilot house is the main cabin, which houses the galley and dinette as well as two additional single bunks.

    We had a really fun trip through the harbor and down the coast for my husband’s Birthday. Captain Andrew was able to find the sweet spot between sharing interesting information and allowing us to enjoy the natural scenery. The kids loved how all the other boats wanted to sail up to ours to yell “Argghhhh!l” and “Ahoy!!!”

    The trip was very interesting, particularly for my 5 year old as he wanted a pirate ship experience on his birthday. The captain and crew were very professional and made sure we were comfortable. Our needs were take care off. We had a great great time. I would suggest to stay in and around the bay and less of deep waters, as it gets a bit bumpy in deep waters. We enjoyed every bit of the trip. We will surely want to do it again😀.

    The crew, lead by Captain Andrew, was incredibly professional. They made the trip very fun. The small boat that took us to the big boat was impressive, but, the big boat was amazing. Truly breathtaking when the sails went up. My 5yr old had so much fun. Great trip!!! Will do it again.

    Captain knows how to take care of everyone and the experience is phenomenal. I’ve sailed with him twice now and both times were perfect. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I sail with him every month and so should you. Until next time.

    Our trip aboard the Mayflower was so amazing and one we will never forget. Captain Andrew and his mate Missy were so hospitable and their pirate hats added to the fun. Definitely worth it to sit back and sail Newport Harbor like a pirate!
