It started with the sad realization that historically, most pirate music is Boring. As. Hell. Folk songs about bad food, lost love, and general rope management… ::yawn::

Even though it’s about as accurate as the Earth being flat, we’ve committed a musical-historical felony: gaslighting the world into believing pirate songs were always upbeat, rowdy, and loud enough to give a manatee a panic attack. We took the gray out of the shanty and replaced it with a technicolor riot.

We don’t even know what to call this noise. It’s not a shanty; it’s Acoustic Maritime Violence. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to flip half the tables in a tavern and dance on the remaining ones while belting out a chorus until your lungs give out. 

It’s not the "dusty museum" genre; it’s the "we’re definitely losing our security deposit" genre: the kind that earns a noise complaint from the next island over and a wellness check from the Coast Guard.

We didn't do this to preserve heritage. We did it because the ocean was too quiet and a "boring" cruise vacation should get you put off the ship at the next port. So, if you’ve ever sat in a quiet Caribbean cove and thought, "This is nice, but it would be better if it was uncomfortably loud and smelled like gunpowder," we say “ARRR!”

Welcome to our musical ship show. The scurvy is free, and the music is loud.

Vacation Pirates, Ho!
