PIRATE CANOEING!!!

PirateCanoe.com is the hub for what my friends and I call “Pirate Canoeing.” It is simply heading out onto the water with some agreed-to rules for mischief while we paddle a few miles. We turn the fun up to 11 by building water weaponry and embracing a pirate theme for the event.

We:

  • dress like pirates
  • use homemade water cannons
  • bring squirt guns
  • throw snowballs made with a snow cone machine
  • paint our faces
  • fly black flags (and white ones when needed)
  • obey the pirate code
  • yell like pirates
  • and have TONS of fun.

On this site you’ll find:

  • Ideas you can use to host your own such event.
  • Photos and links to videos from our events to get a flavor of them.
  • Parts and Plans for battle tested water-weaponry.
  • The rules we follow (Captain Steve’s Pirate Code) that make it so that everyone has a way to enjoy the event whether they are a 0 or 11 on the mischief enjoyment scale.

Maybe this will inspire you to host your own event — We have certainly enjoyed ours.
