Blackbeard's Cruises and the Boy Scouts have a long tradition. Our original vessel the Sea Explorer, was built for the new Boy Scout High Adventure Base in Miami. For 5 years the Sea Explorer took boy scouts from Florida to the Bahamas. Articles about our operation were published in Boys Life and Scouting including a picture of the Sea Explorer on the cover of Scouting Magazine. We mutually agreed to end the partnership because the Base was having trouble getting enough large groups to book the Sea Explorer (how times have changed) and there weren't any facilities near their base that could accommodate a vessel the size of the Sea Explorer. In recent years as scout interest in scuba diving & snorkeling has taken off, we have had a large number of Boy Scout troops book our vessels including one troop that booked one of our vessels 3 years in a row.
