pirate adventures
High seas escapades
Pirate adventures are stories or experiences featuring seafaring outlaws—treasure hunts, ship battles, exotic islands, and swashbuckling escapades.
The phrase evokes a romanticized genre of fiction, film, and games: The kids spent the afternoon playing pirate adventures in the backyard.
It can also describe actual expeditions with a piratical theme, like themed cruises or escape rooms.
