    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Do we need a reservation?
    We highly suggest reserving a cruise well in advance of your desired cruise date. During our busy season(s) we sell out most of our cruises two to three days in advance, if not more. We recommend booking your cruise early in your trip. If weather should cancel your cruise you would be able to rebook prior to leaving the Clearwater Beach area. Book future cruises online here. Book same day cruises only by phone at 727-446-2587 after 10AM most days and after 9AM on days that have 10AM cruises.

    What time should we arrive?
    We recommend arriving at the parking lot 1-hour before your cruise. This will allow time for traffic, parking, and paying for your tickets.  Your cruise will not be guaranteed if you arrive less than 20 minutes before your scheduled departure.

    Do you offer any discounts? 
    We do not have any discounts available for our cruises. We keep our cruises as low cost as possible for everyone. 

    Is this cruise for kids/what age range is this cruise for?
    Our cruises are for all ages. We have entertainment for kids 2 and up and adults can enjoy the festivities as well. We believe it is a full family entertainment cruise.
    Kids entertainment includes water gun battles, treasure hunts, face painting, pirate games, and more. 

    What does the cruise entail and how long is the cruise? 
    All of our public cruises are exactly the same and include complimentary lemonade, punch, beer and wine, water gun battles, treasure hunts, face painting, pirate stories, fire the cannon and Captain Memo’s Dance Party, . All public cruises are 2-hours in duration (weather permitting). 

    What is the best way to contact Captain Memo”s?Phone: We can be reached via phone from 10AM until the last cruise goes out each day at 727-446-2587
    Email: We can be reached via email at info@captainmemo.com which we check every few hours.

     How does parking work? 
    The Municipal Marina Parking lot located at 25 Causeway Blvd., Clearwater Beach, FL 33767 is a pay per plate lot with parking paid by the hour at kiosks in the lot at the rate of $1 per hour.

    When we confirm your reservation you will receive a 4-digit parking code. You will need this code to park for more than 30-minutes in this parking lot.  The CODE button is on the very first screen on the parking kiosks and should be pressed, then enter the code you received, follow the prompts from there!

    Do not use the mobile parking app as the code does not work in the app!

     

    Do you have have food on the cruise?
    We do have “emergency” snacks on the boat for sale, but we do not have any “meal” type food.  Chips and snacks can be purchased from our bar.

    Do you allow dogs on the boat?
    Our boat is no place for dogs.  We love dogs, but the metal deck and lack of water or areas to relieve itself all make for a very uncomfortable trip for a dog.  In addition, we have several very loud noises including the ship horn and the cannon that are hard on human ears and potential dangerous to dogs ears.   For those reasons, and others we do not allow dogs of any kind on our boat. 

    Do you allow wheelchairs or strollers on the boat? 
    Unfortunately, getting on and off the boat as well as getting around the boat can be difficult for wheelchairs and strollers.  There is seating on all decks on our boat.  We have storage for those on our dock while you are on the cruise.

    Captain Memo

    Captain Memo

    June 5, 1948 – October 13, 2009

    Captain Memo and his wife Panama Pam sailed to Florida from California in a 30 ft. sailboat via the Panama Canal.

    In an earlier life he used to be known as Bill Wozencraft, a Prudential Life Insurance Agent. His wife, Pam, had been a teacher for the Hearing Impaired.

    After getting up each morning knowing he had to put on a suit and tie just to go out in the world and get rejected by 95 people a day, he knew there must be a better way to exist on this planet other than selling life insurance. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that would be pillaging and plundering as a pirate on Clearwater Beach.

    The initial goal they set was to sail to the Caribbean within a year. It actually took two and a half years, and they ran out of money along the way.
