Grab an eyepatch and head for The Rusty Parrot, a “scuttled”ship in Philipsburg like those once used by marauding pirates. Now it’s the newest hotspot on St. Maarten/St. Martin, a favorite of history lovers and partiers alike. Step back in time and discover the fascinating world of pirates, as you explore the original decors and hear true stories about the daring buccaneers who ruled the high seas. Immerse yourself in the state-of-the-art multimedia displays, where you’ll see and hear the sights and sounds of pirate life, from their notorious battles to their secret treasures.
An amazing immersive museum about the real Pirates of the Caribbean. Be prepared to step into the tale of famous pirates that sailed across the Caribbean… If you dare!
The story begins with pirate enthusiast Raphael Dorra, the creative mind behind the new attraction. Dorra describes The Rusty Parrot as an “immersive experience” designed to show what life was like for infamous Caribbean pirates like Jack Rackham, known to history as Calico Jack. Visitors enter the bowels of the “ship” to learn more about Rackham through special effects and many surprises.
Dorra, who grew up in Tahiti, says there are many stories surrounding pirates, but most are distorted, based on legends, not facts. When the opportunity presented itself for a unique adventure, Dorra was ready to hoist the Jolly Roger, the internationally known symbol of pirates created by Rackham. The Rusty Parrot takes visitors through the life of Rackham based on researched materials, artefacts, some plotline twists and a few turns. “The idea is to present history in a fun way,” says Dorra. “This is a total experience for family, friends, groups, anyone who wants to experience something exciting and different. ”Tours are offered in five languages – English, Dutch, French, German and Spanish – and the “crew” dresses in full pirate garb to lend authenticity to the experience.
Continue your pirate adventure with gear from the giftshop. Then head up to the deck for a view of Philipsburg and Great Bay. Topside, enjoy drinks and tasty tapas at the bar and lounge as you take in the island’s balmy weather. Music is also on the menu. “Visit us at The Rusty Parrot,” Dorra says. “It’s an adventure like no other.
The Rusty Parrot is located between Philipsburg and Point Blanche area, close to the St Maarten cruise pier.
