Update 8/25: The Cruise on 8/29 was cancelled due to an unscheduled inspection by Transport Canada

Celebrate Summer with a comedy cabaret -- laughing while looking at the stunning sunset views!

Whether its a first date, your birthday party, or a night out with your friends, you’re in for a night for unforgettable memories. We’ll start the celebration on the shore of Mooney’s Bay, giving landlubbers a chance to join the fun. Then, we’ll board the Pirate Life ship where The Velvet Duke and friends will entertain you with a 60-minute revue filled with stand-up, improv, and musical comedy! 

These events are mobility device accessible, by gangplank, with a door clearance of 42″ (inches)

Content note: As the show includes both stand up and improvisational comedy, it may or may not be suitable for your everyone in your family
