Gasparilla Pirate Invasion Charter

Gasparilla Yacht Charters available through Tampa Bay Yacht Charter 727-776-8199
Named for pirate Jose Gaspar, who terrorized the coastal waters of West Florida during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Tampa's annual Gasparilla celebration begins with the Gasparilla Invasion by mythical pirate José Gaspar and his crew. Members of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla, accompanied by a flotilla of hundreds of smaller boats, sail across Tampa Bay to downtown Tampa on the Jose Gasparilla, a 165' long "pirate" ship. Once the ship lands, the pirate captain demands that the mayor hand over the key to the city in a playful ceremony.
