Captain Rumbeard’s Land & Sea Pub Crawl in Tarpon Springs, Florida

Guided by Captain Sean • Local Expert & Marine Commerce Commission Member

4-Hour Private Tiki Boat Pub Crawl Experience on Land & Water

Step into the legend of Captain Rumbeard and experience one of the most unique pub crawls in Tarpon Springs — a private Land & Sea adventure that blends waterfront cruising with handpicked local stops.

Captain Rumbeard was said to roam these very waters, trading rum, hiding treasure, and leaving behind a trail of stories still whispered along the Sponge Docks today. Now, Captain Sean brings that spirit back to life with a modern twist — combining a scenic tiki boat cruise with select stops at local establishments along the Anclote River and surrounding areas. This isn’t just a pub crawl — it’s an experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR LAND & SEA PUB CRAWL

THE LEGEND OF CAPTAIN RUMBEARD

Legend has it that Captain Rumbeard once navigated these same waters, stopping along the coast to trade, celebrate, and stash away hidden treasure.

Today, that spirit lives on through this experience — blending storytelling, exploration, and a touch of pirate-inspired fun into a laid-back coastal adventure.

Whether you’re in it for the drinks, the views, or the experience, you’ll feel like part of the story.

JOIN THE CREW (OPTIONAL PIRATE EXPERIENCE)

Those bold enough to embrace the spirit of Captain Rumbeard are encouraged to come dressed for the adventure. Don your pirate gear, gather your crew, and set sail in full character as you make your way from port to port — a true land and sea takeover of Tarpon Springs’ local pubs.

Each crew receives a Pirate Pub Crawl Medallion and a custom treasure map marking Captain Rumbeard’s hidden stops along the route. Follow the map, claim your ports, and uncover the legendary trail left behind by Rumbeard himself.

No costumes required… but highly encouraged for those ready to make the experience unforgettable.
