A Brief History
Tybee Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.

There are lots of activities for families, loads of entertainment, and a Thieves Market filled with treasure. The festival grounds have grown to encompass the entire South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. This website provides the history of the event and lots of other pirate stuff. Hope you find it useful and it helps you find your way to the Annual Pirate Fest on Tybee Island located only 20 minutes from Savannah GA historical district and the cobblestone River Street.

All attendees will be required to show a valid photo ID to gain entrance to the Ball. No one under age 18 will be admitted.

Can I bring my pet dog/bird/cat/lizard/etc. or my comfort elephant?
Pets or comfort animals are not permitted at this ticketed event so Fido and Polly or Dumbo will have to sit this one out. Comfort animals won’t find much comfort here due to cannon firings and possible black powder weapons. If you must bring your animal, you can sit in the public portion of the restaurant but there are NO animals allowed in the ticketed area.

What are my transportation/parking options?
The Crab Shack offers ample FREE off-street parking on the premises. We do not provide transportation to and from the event, there are cab companies on Tybee or Savannah that can provide transportation to/from your location.

Is my ticket transferable?
Yes, you may transfer your ticket to another name if your plans change and you cannot join us. This must be done in writing and all such transfers must be addressed to “office@thecrabshack.com”. Do not consider the transfer complete until you have a written response from us.

Do I need to print my tickets and bring them with me?
While a printed ticket expedites, you are not required to print it. You can show your mobile ticket on your cell phone or provide your valid photo ID that matches the name in which your tickets were purchased.

The Buccaneer Ball is a rain or shine event, and ticket sales are final. Refunds are only provided in case of an Act of God.

You may check in early, and get your wristbands that will be required to enter the Ball. Early check-in will begin at 12 Noon until 5:30 PM in our Gift Shack. You must bring your photo I.D. as proof of age so you will be properly identified as over or under 21 years. (for alcohol purchases) The Door to the Ball will open at 6 PM, not before.
