With a year as strange as this one, mentioning taking a cruise on a pirate ship probably doesn’t seem the least bit odd. But a company called Emerald City Pirates offer just that, taking Washingtonians on a pirate cruise through the Lake Washington Ship Canal to Lake Union. And instead of taking the year off due to current conditions, the team has found a way to keep everyone as safe as possible by offering some fantastic private charters.

Emerald City Pirates is a well-known company in Seattle, largely because their ship is rather obvious.
