Directors Tour

Step into the boots of a true treasure hunter on this exclusive Directors Tour at Real Pirates Salem—an intimate, private experience designed for the curious, the bold, and those who prefer a little extra flair with their history.

Led by one of our expert docents (a.k.a. pirate pros), you'll dive deeper into the riveting true story of the Whydah Gally, the only authenticated pirate shipwreck ever discovered. This small-group tour gives you VIP access to tales of high-seas adventure, mutiny, fortune, and the man who brought it all to light—Barry Clifford, legendary underwater explorer.

But the story doesn’t end when you leave the museum.

🦜 Included in your tour:

🎤 A free take-home audio tour narrated by Barry Clifford himself—so you can relive the legend wherever your ship sails next.

📸 A complimentary digital photo experience to capture your pirate swagger.

🤫 Access to insider knowledge and artifacts most landlubbers miss.

Whether you're a history buff, a pirate fan, or just in it for the gold (no judgment), this is your chance to uncover hidden stories and rare artifacts in a way few ever do.

Come for the treasure. Stay for the secrets. Leave with a tale of your own.
