š æļø How does parkinā work?
We dock at the Municipal Marina Parking Lot, 25 Causeway Blvd., Clearwater Beach, FL 33767. Pay per plate, $1 per hour at the kiosks.
Parking on the island can be a bit of a beast, and it be run by the cityānot by our crew. But fear not, there be plenty of clever ways to make port! Check our Parking & Traffic page for smoother sailing, including stashing yer carriage downtown and hoppinā aboard the Jolly Trolley or the Clearwater Ferry to arrive in true coastal style.

When yer reservation be confirmed, yeāll get a 4-digit pirate code for long-term parkinā. Press the CODE button on the kioskās first screen, punch it in, and follow the prompts.
ā ļø Beware! The code wonāt work in the mobile parkinā appādonāt be hornswoggled!

ā° What time should we arrive?
To be sure ye donāt miss the boat (literally), plan to be in the parkinā lot 1 hour before yer voyage. This gives ye time for traffic, parkinā, and snagginā yer ticket. If ye show up less than 20 minutes before we cast off, yer spot may be forfeit to another lucky pirate.
šæ Do ye serve food on board?
We carry emergency rations (chips ānā snacks) at the bar, but no full meals. Best fill yer belly on land before boardinā, lest ye end up fightinā a matey over a bag oā pretzels.

āæ Do ye allow wheelchairs or strollers?
Sadly, gettinā on, off, anā about the ship be rough seas fer wheels. But worry notāthere be plenty oā seating on all decks, and weāve space at the dock to keep yer stroller or chair safe till ye return.

Captain Memo
June 5, 1948 ā October 13, 2009
š“āā ļø The Legend of Captain Memo & Panama Pam ā
Long before he took the helm as Clearwaterās most famed buccaneer, Captain Memo was but a landlubber known as Bill Wozencraft, shackled to a suit ānā tie as a life insurance agent. Each dawn he rose, facinā rejection from 95 souls a dayāuntil one morninā he cast off the chains oā that life, seekinā a better way to carve his mark upon this world.
Alongside his fair lady, Panama Pamāonce a noble teacher oā the Hearing Impairedāhe set sail from California on a humble 30-foot vessel, guidinā her āround the mighty Panama Canal and into the unknown. Their dream: reach the Caribbean within a year.
But the sea be a fickle mistressāwhat they planned fer one year stretched into two and a half, their coffers runninā dry, their sails wearinā thin. Yet from hardship was born destinyā¦ for never in his wildest dreams did Captain Memo imagine his fate would be to plunder, pillage, and bring joy as a pirate king upon the sands oā Clearwater Beach. šā ļø
