Key Largo’s Pilot House welcomed pirates ashore on April 12. Young buccaneers and older freebooters spent the day enjoying the family-friendly activities and cuisine. There were even multiple water shows which wowed the patrons, as well as live music and a costume contest. New ownership partners Jorge Perez and Ricardo Mendes say they wanted to revive the Pirate Fest, which was a marquee event at Pilot House many years ago.
