King's Pyrate

If you or your Pirate Group are coming to St. Augustine We have Group Rates and discounts for the Historic Ramada Inn and Pirate Cruises on the Pirate Ship Black Raven.

Maiden cruise is Tuesday May 5th...schedule slipped due to scheduling the last USCG Inspection Ticket information here Black Raven Adventures

Let me know when you are planning to go aboard and if it is sometime between Friday and Sunday perhaps Barbary Bett and I will go with you......she is still swooning over the ship...lol

I started using mine at books signings for folks to go see my web site and buy books if they like....but the group cards are handed out to event coordinators and fans collect them.....seems to work out great. Joe

Again, I want to see yo'r trading cards. :) ~Lady B I have been working up some trading cards for our Ancient City Privateers members to hand out......here are a couple. They take some time to do but I enjoy it and the members are very happy with their cards. Joe

She was a beautiful site as she pulled into the City Marina.....They left Tarpon Springs on Friday but had some small problem and spent the night in Clearwater Beach....on Saturday they continued the voyage, sailed around Key West but ran into high seas and rough wind in the Gulf Stream...They pulled into Miami and anchored for the night then decided to sail up the ditch (ICW) the rest of the way....she is realyl designed for inland water cruises so will work nicely on Matanzas Bay and Tolomato River....the plan is for 1 to 2 hour cruises up the river with entertainment then a stop up river at one of the local eateries for a while and then return to the City Marina......I am scheduled to do a book signing for the Pirate Tales book on some of the early trips and have been asked to pen another book for youngsters......looks like I will have a busy summer. BTW I dropped by Tiger Lee's shop yesterday and bought a fine period coat for less than the wife could make it.....he has some great prices..... Let me know when you are back in St. Augustine.

The Black Raven has arrived at her new home port of St. Augustine, Florida. She comes equipped with a lounge, gift shop and has pirate actors doing on board shows, games for children and adult activities. The lounge bulkheads are decorated with storyboards with tales of real pirates who attacked St. Augustine. She may be a modern tour vessel but she will give you the feel of stepping back in history as she fires her cannon at Castillo de San Marcos and attacking vessels. Read more about the Black Raven and how you can sail on this wonderful ship. Black Raven Adventures See more photos of her arrival in my Black Raven Gallery Joe
