What’s better is that, for the first time ever, the King of Conch and the kingofconch.com will be out and about taking pictures with fans and selling Conch Republic souvenirs. This year we’ll be joined by photographer John Berger who is displaying some of his latest pieces. For more info, checkout the official website or contact us.

Happy sailing!

9 Days of Pure Piratical Escapades Celebrating Key West’s Rich & Colorful Maritime Heritage

Avast, me Hearties! It’s time to chart yer course for Pirates in Paradise Festival 2007. So… don yer pirate garb and join us for a week of mischief and merrymaking as Key West celebrates Pirates in Paradise Festival 2007.

Once again we the Festival will feature top-name quality entertainment and historic re-enactors, improvisational actors, and combative stunt men. Performers from around the country will join the Florida Key’s own Bone Island Buccaneers and Bawdy Be to invade Key West. As you stroll the streets of Old Town and visit Fort Zachary Taylor during the Festival, don’t be surprised if you run into the likes of Anne Bonny, Cascabel, Braze, Sir Henry Morgan, the Bone Island Buccaneers, the Pyrates of the Coast and other nefarious Brethren of the Coast.

The public can join Captain Finbar and his scurvy crew of pirates aboard the schooner WOLF, Flagship of the Conch Republic, for Tall Ship Sails and Pirate Attacks. Docked at the Historic Seaport, the WOLF, along with the schooners LIBERTY, APPLE DORE, JOLLY ROVER, REEF CHIEF and ISLAND BELL will also be offering afternoon and sunset sails during the Pirate Fest.

Costume contests, walk the plank, rum tasting, booty hunt, pirate show, thieves market, underwater poker and more! Visit web site for details on these three days of pirate-themed fun.
