Boston's Captain Cane and his

Pirate Treasure Hunt and Pirate Party!

Welcome to PirateParty.net. Boston's original pirate entertainment for childen since 2001--

Pirate Captain Cane and his famous, Boston based Pirate Treasure Hunt! (The description of the Pirate Party! follows this section, about half way down, below)

Captain Cane's Pirate Treasure Hunt is fast-paced and fun, with lots of "Aye Aye!" and "Arrrgh!!!". Boston's Family Favorite Award winning children's entertainer Captain Cane arrives on the scene in full pirate regalia. The children are thrilled. A real pirate! Captain Cane musters his crew, and they all receive magnetic compasses (and learn how to use them) and swear to the Ship's Articles. Each child receives an official Letter of Marque (with a real pirate map on the back, as well as a skull ring to prove that they are real pirates!Then they learn the 'Secret Sign' of pirates, pirate words and songs, and more! They learn a real pirate jig from Captain Cane, who did them on the deck of a real square rigger!  Captain Cane is a real U.S. Coast Guard licensed Captain and Master, and cruise ship Maritime Historian, and loves to answer questions about pirates for children.

 In addition, the First Mate (birthday child), receives an official Officer's Commission,  and Pirate Birth Certificate, with gold seal, in a special ceremony. Hip Hip Hooray for the First Mate!

NOTE: Pirate Captain Cane (Award winning children's entertainer Jed Mills) sends the birthday child a personalized letter, and calls the birthday child and Mom or Dad for a fun chat, a few days prior to the party. Captain Cane confirms all details directly with parents or teachers, generally not through a booking agency. The pirate party treasure hunt itself is about two hours of fast paced pirate fun, and treasure chest, treasure, pirate hats, clues, and lots of other stuff are all included. The kids keep everything! And all major credit cards are welcome.

With Captain Cane's Pirate Treasure Hunt! You deal directly with entertainer Jed 'Captain Cane' Mills. You will not be dealing with a similar sounding recent imitator of PirateParty.net that might send out whatever sub-contractor is available the day of the party, and who may perform many different characters for the agency.

Next, it's off to the treasure hunt! The First Mate and Captain Cane lead the search, which begins where pirates concealed treasure long ago--right where this party is.

  AARGH!                    First Mate/ Birth Certificate

                                                                    ARRRGH!

The treasure hunt can be indoors or outdoors. (The treasure chest, treasure, and clues are shipped to Mom and Dad well before the day of the Pirate Treasure Hunt!). Various clues lead the pirate ship's company to their treasure. The clues include pirate prose and references to physical landmarks common to any home or yard, as well as compass headings. A hearty "Arrrgh" is shouted when any clue is found, and  given to the First Mate (Birthday Child) who leads the Pirate Treasure Hunt with Captain Cane. The treasure is divided equally among the pirate crew. Each shipmate receives three gold coins, two jewel rings, jewel beads, a gold keychain with a jewel-eyed skull, a jewel necklace, a mini pirate map and a mini pirate flag! All in a heavy duty re-sealable bag. So there is no need for Mom and Dad to spend another hundred dollars on goodies.

Now it's time for shipmates to receive pirate tattoos and also face-painting.  Next it's time for balloons--mostly pirate sword balloons. Captain Cane makes all of the pirate sword balloons before arriving at the party so that there is no wasted time while an entertainer uses up fifteen minutes blowing up sword balloons. All the time is used for the pirate sword balloon swashbuckling adventure.  Each crew member then receives a pirate hat.

With pirate hats, tattoos, pirate face-painted mustaches and hearts, rings, and sword balloons, the assembled crew, led by their fearless First Mate, embarks on their Parade of Pirates, while singing their pirate song. We finish where Mom and Dad would like us to  pose for a photo session.

Each child also receives a small, autographed photo postcard of Captain Cane, personally inscribed to the child. This Performance, including all materials, for up to 12 children is $295. Major credit cards are welcome. The cost of time and materials for additional children is only $15 each. Allow a few extra minutes for each additional child for tattoo application, balloon sword, face-painting, and autographing photo. The performance usually is about two hours or longer for 12 children, depending on how many clues are used, and how complex the treasure hunt is. Special rates are available for day-care facilities, schools, camps, and other large groups.

Captain Cane is Boston-based but is available to perform anywhere...he has entertained children and adults from coast to coast, and in Mexico and on cruise ships in the Caribbean.

The adventure of Captain Cane's Pirate Treasure Hunt! enables children to be swept into the exciting world of pirates, but the world of good pirates. Good pirates who seek the adventure of discovery, who do no harm, and who are not very frightening. Along the way, children fearlessly 'become pirates' and learn that pirates have rules, that pirates work together for their common good, and that pirates always share what they have. A basic message is that smart pirates are good. This is a highly active, and interactive program that educates, teaches some important lessons of life, and is boatloads of fun...

About Captain Cane...

Captain Cane (my other name is Jed Mills) comes dressed in black, with long black hair. Captain Cane is friendly, does not appear frightening,  and carries no weapons. Captain Cane is happy to talk about ships, sailing, and piracy to interested children and can bring a globe, model of a square rigger, and information about actual pirates to any performance. Captain Cane received Boston Parent's Family Favorite Award in 2006 for his pirate themed children's entertainment.

And a little about me...   I live in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and parents, sister, brother-in-law, and neices are nearby. I also have two wonderful daughters. My younger daughter is determined to be a sailor!  I am a Juris Doctor and have studied piracy, and I'm a member of the Admiralty Law Society of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law. I was a voyage crew member of the H.M.Bark Endeavour (full size replica of Captain Cook's ship, built from the same British Admiralty plans) and sailed the Pacific Coast in it. I'm a U.S.Coast Guard Merchant Marine Officer, as a licensed captain. I also have a U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Master's license, with sailing endorsement, and am a member of the Marblehead Yacht Club and the London Corinthian Sailing Club. I'm also a U.S. Power Squadrons Certified Boating Instructor, and approved by the National Association of Boating Law Administrators as a boating instructor. I am also certified as a substitute teacher in California, and have been awarded the 'Best of the Best' Award as entertainer for family events, by Boston Parent.

When time and weather permit, I sail my small sloop Maverick out of Marblehead Harbor, Massachusetts, with family and friends. Arrgh!
