The weekend trip departs Saturday at 3 pm with boarding beginning at noon. The return to dock is Tuesday evening with disembarkation by 9 am on Wednesday morning.

Passengers that arrive early to Freeport are asked to wait until after 12 p.m., as we are not prepared to receive guests until this time. If passengers have overnighted in Freeport prior to boarding, then please check your luggage with the front desk if you must check out prior to noon. Shop or relax poolside until noon so that you can arrive at our docks after we open for business!

All passengers disembark by 9 am on the following Friday, or by 9 am the following Wednesday for the weekend trip.

All passengers must vacate the Blackbeard's premises by 10 am. If you have a later in the day flight out of Freeport, you may leave your luggage with us while you sightsee and return 2 1/2 hours prior to your flight's departure to retrieve your bags.
