My husband and I took our two kids to the lake for the sole purpose of going on the Calypso for my sons 5th birthday. We were glad to do it.įrom start to finish this was an amazing time. I highly recommend it, especially for kids under 14. I couldn't believe we never knew this adventure was on the lake. They allowed those on the cruise to make reservations at the restaurant and I didn't realize what a big deal that was until we saw how packed the restaurant was. Skallywag Annie reappears in a boat and shot cannonballs at the boat she was promptly shot and went back in the water. On the way back, they allowed the grumpy teens that thought they were too cool to be there, to steer the boat. Back on the boat, the kids each got a treasure bag which was part of the loot. Each stop the captain reads a clue that leads to the next stop on the path. I'd say it's not handicap accessible, but it's an easy walk with several stops. Everyone has a chance to go to the front of the boat and take pictures. We cruise across the lake and give the pirate sign to passing boaters. They couldn't believe she actually jumped in the water. The kids all went up and got a close look. Annie causes some problems and actually walks the plank. About 35 of us all board the pirate ship. Skallywag Annie joins them along with 2 other crew. There is a stage and skit area that the pirate captain and first mate introduce themselves, tell about pirate lore, teach some pirate words, and prepare you for the cruise and treasure hunt. During check in the kids all got pirate hats. It's at Jolly Roger's Pub and Grog Restaurant. So here's the Jolly Charters pirate treasure cruise details: We arrived too late to eat, but the food looked fantastic. *The bar advertises the "Lake's Best Breakfast".


*We went on the 9am adventure that lasted a total of hour and 40 minutes, so it wasn't too hot yet. *Book early because the reservations fill up fast. We all had a good time and we enjoyed watching the kids being so excited. We were unsure about going on Jolly Charters because I thought there weren't enough details. My sister and I live about 3.5 hours from Lake of Ozarks and spent 2 nights in early August.
