Pirates, Mallorca

"Good evening ladies and gentleman my name is Sir Francis Drake and I will be your Captain for this evening. Whenever you see me I would like you to shout my name and make as much noise as you can". This is how our Pirate's Adventure began. The show is situated in the centre of Magalluf, Mallorca and is very easy to get to by taxi or bus. Taxis are quite expensive with the majority being "Hackney" style so buses are the best bet with loads running from pretty much every part of the island for only a few euros each. Queueing up for the show is a bit of a chore as not only do you get hammered by Pirates trying to sell you extortionately ...  Read the complete review

I went on a clubbing holiday to Maguluf back in 2000 and then again in 2005 and both times I was there myself and my friends went to the Pirates show. So I thought I'd share my thoughts on this show with everyone as it really is an excellent evening out! What is it?

Many of the tour operators have an excursion there though. There are two prices, one for the main deck, where we were and one for the quarter deck, which is a bit more expensive but the food is better and there are goodie bags for the kids. You are sat at a long table with bench seats ...  Read the complete review

I worked in Spain for a few summers - Pirates is one of the best entertainment shows in the Magalluf area. The basic premis is that there are about 800 people who are seated at long tables facing a stage at the front - you can buy swords/bandana's etc there (which is an additional cost but well worth it to get in the mood!) with the Pirates logo and you get a free eye-mask. It cost about 30 pounds but this is good value for money. The show last about two hours and is set ont he theme of pirates seperating the hall into "rival sides" and battle and banter and audience participation on the stage to see "which pirate wins" overall - the stage shows ...  Read the complete review
