Overview

The Pirates of Galveston is more than a walking tour. It’s an interactive pirate adventure that turns guests into members of Lady Saelym’s crew and brings Galveston’s colorful pirate past to life.

The experience is built around the real history of Galveston’s pirate era, including Jean Lafitte, Louis Aury and the infamous Kingdom of Campeche. Fascinating history mixes with legends, pirate lore, humor and a little mischief along the way.

Instead of simply listening to stories, guests become part of the experience, earning pirate ranks and discovering what life, work and adventure were really like for a pirate crew.

Led by the unforgettable Lady Saelym, the tour combines theatrical storytelling, audience participation and historical interpretation to create an experience that’s fun, memorable and unlike a traditional history tour.
