A galleon built for the auditorium
The theatre is built around a 12-metre replica pirate galleon, with steel rigging strung out over the tables so the aerial acts happen above the audience rather than on a distant stage. It is a purpose-built venue, not a converted restaurant with a show bolted on.
Four crews, one treasure
The night runs on a fixed story: Sir Henry Morgan's crew against the villain Jacques Lafitte, fighting over the treasure of the Hispaniola. The audience is split into four camps on arrival, each backing a different captain, which is what turns a show into something the room takes sides on.
The acts run through dinner, not after it
Aerial acrobatics, choreographed swordplay and fire performance are woven between courses rather than staged as a separate spectacle before or after the meal. Plates move while the rigging is still in use overhead.
A production refined since 1986
Globo Balear has run this show since 1986, which is a long run for a live theatrical dinner format — the choreography, the rigging and the kitchen have had four decades to be worked out, not a single opening season.
The rigging plan
The rigging plan
Two masts, the yardarms strung out over the tables, and a dinner running along the deck beneath them — here is roughly where each act happens above you, and when the plates arrive.
Above the tables — the acts
- 4:00pm, arrive by 5:30pm Act I
Doors and seating
The outdoor bar and seating area open from 4:00pm and you should be there by 5:30pm; the theatre opens its 800-plus seats at 6:00pm, sorted by tier onto the Main Deck, Quarter Deck, Captain's Table or VVIP.
- 6:00pm Act II
The ship rises
House lights fall on the 12-metre replica galleon at the centre of the theatre, and the four-camp story of Sir Henry Morgan's crew against Jacques Lafitte begins.
- From ~6:20pm Act III
The aerial acts
International acrobats work the rigging above the tables — steel truss standing in for masts and yardarms — alongside choreographed sword-fights and fire performance.
- Through the show Act IV
Courses between the acts
Plates move along the deck line between set-pieces: roast chicken, chips and corn on the cob for adults, nuggets and chips for children, ice cream to finish, soft drinks refilled throughout.
- By ~9:00pm Act V
The finale and the floor
The rivalry between the four camps resolves in the closing act, and the comic Dame character sends the room out — about three hours after the doors opened.
Along the deck — the courses
- First To start
Soft drinks, on the house
Soft drinks and water are included and refilled through the show until the performance begins — alcohol is available separately at the bar.

- By request Dietary

Getting to Magaluf, and the Pirates Theatre
Getting to Magaluf, and the Pirates Theatre
The show is held in its own purpose-built theatre on Mallorca's south-west coast — close to the Magaluf strip, but its own address and its own arrival routine.
Where it is
The Pirates Theatre stands on Camí Sa Porrassa in Magaluf, on Mallorca's south-west coast — a purpose-built venue rather than a converted restaurant, designed around its own galleon set.
Parking and transfers
Free parking is available across the street from the theatre, with a bus stop and taxi rank at the entrance — most visitors staying in Magaluf itself can walk.
Exchanging your ticket
Bring your booking confirmation to exchange for entry from 4:00pm, and be there by 5:30pm at the latest; doors and the show itself start at 6:00pm, so arriving at the start of the window avoids a queue at the desk.
Finding your tier
Which door you use and where you sit follows your ticket tier — Main Deck, Quarter Deck, Captain's Table or VVIP — so keep your confirmation to hand at the exchange desk.

Planning your evening
Planning your evening
Exchange your ticket and be seated by 5:30pm
The outdoor bar and seating area open from 4:00pm and you should arrive by 5:30pm at the latest, and the show starts on time at 6:00pm. Arrive on the earlier side of the window rather than the later one, especially in peak season when the desk queues.
Book your tier, not just your date
Main Deck, Quarter Deck, Captain's Table and VVIP are genuinely different seats at different distances from the galleon, not a formality — decide what you want to be close to before you book, since tiers sell out separately from each other.
Flag dietary needs ahead of time
The standard menu is gluten-free already; vegetarian and vegan plates need pre-ordering rather than requesting on arrival. Do it at booking, while the operator can still plan the kitchen run.
Decide family night or adults-only night separately
This ticket is the family show with dinner. Pirates Reloaded, in the same theatre, is a separate late adults-only show with drinks instead of a meal — pick the one that matches the evening you actually want, not just the venue.

Pirates Dinner Show questions
What is the Pirates Dinner Show in Magaluf?
It is a three-hour theatrical dinner show inside a purpose-built theatre built around a 12-metre replica pirate galleon. International acrobats perform on rigging above the tables, alongside staged sword-fights and fire, while a roast dinner is served through the acts. The story follows Sir Henry Morgan's crew against the villain Jacques Lafitte, with the audience split into four supporting camps.
How long does it run, and what time does it start?
The outdoor bar and seating area open from 4:00pm and you should arrive by 5:30pm at the latest, and the show itself starts at 6:00pm and runs about three hours, finishing around 9:00pm. Arriving at the start of the exchange window avoids a queue at the desk.
What's included in the meal?
Adults are served roast chicken with chips and corn on the cob; children get chicken nuggets and chips, followed by ice cream for everyone. Soft drinks and water are included and refilled through the show. The standard menu is gluten-free, and vegetarian or vegan alternatives are available if you flag them when booking.
Is there a version without children?
Yes — Pirates Reloaded is a separate, later show in the same theatre for adults only, built around the acrobatics and a DJ set rather than a dinner, with a drinks credit included instead of a meal. It is booked as its own GetYourGuide listing, not an upgrade on this ticket.
What are the seating tiers?
Four tiers: Main Deck (standard), Quarter Deck (closer to the stage), Captain's Table and VVIP (the closest seats, with extra service). Prices rise by tier and by season, and each tier can sell out on its own, so it is worth deciding what matters to you — proximity, service or price — before you book.
Is the theatre wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the venue is described as fully wheelchair accessible with dedicated tables for wheelchair users. If you have specific access requirements, the GetYourGuide listing and the operator are the reliable place to confirm details before you travel.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
The listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, and many options let you reserve now and pay later. The exact cancellation terms for your booking are shown on GetYourGuide before you pay.
