Know Before You Go

Guaranteed Safe and Secure

Be ready for a worry-free pirate expedition! At Sunshine Scenic Tours, we ensure that everyone onboard the Royal Conquest, from li’l swabbies to salty dogs, is safe, comfortable, and protected. This way, you can focus on having the greatest time and nothing else.

Apart from the ship being regularly inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard, all employees are trained in first aid and undergo regular drug testing. There is also a very slim chance that the ship will encounter rough seas, as most of our cruises take place in the peaceful waters of Boca Ciega Bay.
