A hidden treasure right in the middle of Salem, MA! So close to everything. This is a must see museum. Make it a priority when visiting Salem. Regardless of your age or where you are from, you will get something out of it. The story of the shipwrecked Whydah Gally is a fascinating one. It's wild that it went down off Cape Cod back in 1717, only to be discovered in 1984. The museum flows well, is interactive, and managed by the best staff in the industry.

We experienced Real Pirates Salem with our Scout Troop and families. Carolyn welcomed us into her museum and gave us a fantastic experience. Yes, you can do the museum on your own. But, Carolyn brought the story behind the actual artifacts to life, engaging the Scouts and the adults in the experience. Some really cool stuff at the end with the concretions and stuff they're working on. Our trip created lasting memories for our Scouts and families. Look forward to going back and seeing what else they have learned from the Whydah.

Absolutely excellent. Captain Johny Depps is the best. It was informative, entertaining, sad and fun. I was delightfully surprised by how good it was!

Instead of just buying tickets to the museum, I bought the guided tour because I thought it would be more interesting for my grandchildren, age 11 and 14 . It was awful. The guide was dressed in pirate costume, but he spoke low, and in a monotone, and was just not interesting at all. He basically read what I could read on the wall from the exhibit. The kids were bored after about five minutes and wandered off. We left early.

A really fantastic museum and a nice change to hear about this part of Salems history too. I'd suggest buying tickets direct as we brought through trip advisor expecting the directors tour booked but it was only the standard entry. They were very good and sorted us out.

This collection of a real pirate shipwreck and its artifacts is so cool and beautifully displayed. The best part is the people who work here - all are so passionate and so friendly - we got so much more than just a museum tour! Definitely recommend and would go back.

As a pirate buff, I had a blast! Learned a few things I didn’t know, AND was able to touch several pieces of 8! Amazing! But to me the highlight of the tour was when our guide opened the container housing the concrete like material which once covered one of the cannon recovered from the shipwreck Whydah. You could clearly smell the wood and gunpowder! Talk about bringing history alive!! A+ Do t miss this one folks!

My spouse and I had the pleasure of attending the directors tour with Bill. He is very knowledgeable on the history of the ship Whydah, artifacts, and of those persons involved during that time. After Bill completed his tour, my husband and I started from the beginning and took time to read all the information and take pictures. This tour was a nice break from everything else we did and saw in Salem. Highly recommend this tour for others. If you are on the fence, just do it! Thanks Bill!

I was going to cancel this event but it was less than 24 hours so I wouldn't be able to get a refund. We went on Wednesday 9/13/23 we were greeted by a nice man at the front desk who told us our guide, Stephanie would be ready shortly. We were surprised that we were the only people there and that was a bad feeling for us about this guided tour. We were right about our feelings because Stephanie was not friendly, with no sense of humor or enthusiasm, just bland. She gave us the tour with someone else with her (Beverly) I believe that was the name. The extra person with her was not friendly either and did not contribute anything positive at all to this tour. The entire tour was just the facts and no personality at all from them. I believe they were uncomfortable with us. On a positive note the museum was interesting and worth a visit without paying for the guided tour. We noticed other people there during our visit did the tour without a guide. The entire time we visited Salem all of the other guides were personable. I think this museum should think about that when they are hiring guides.
