Many folks are thrilled the "Jolly Roger" has set sail again! There is nothing like experiencing a Cayman sunset on a Pirate ship! A Cayman Favorite is the Jolly Roger Sunset Cruise. Passengers feel this is one of the best sunset cruises on island! The Pirate ship is comfortable, fun and has a smooth sail. Right now she sails Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for a cocktail cruise. The Jolly Roger is a two-thirds replica of Christopher Columbus’ 15th century Galleon Nina, which crossed the Atlantic on three occasions. The Jolly Roger was privately commissioned and built in 1986 in St. Petersburg, Florida, and christened the Lady Barbara. The original owner had such strong feelings for his wife that he had the ship’s figurehead sculpted in her likeness. To this day, Lady Barbara still graces the bow of the Jolly Roger. Then to the current owner, who is passionate about sailing and Pirates, restoring her to her full glory and keeping the dream and imagination of Pirates and chasing the sun alive.
