MINI PIRATE SHIP

16-seat mini pirate ship ride

The 16-seat ship is the smallest pirate ship we build, and the only one we recommend for indoor installation. It needs 6 × 4 m of floor, runs on 10–15 kW, and gives small visitors the full swinging-ship experience under a mall ceiling.

  • 16 passengers per cycle, 250–350 riders per hour
  • 60° swing with a controlled, family-friendly cycle
  • 6 × 4 m footprint — fits indoors
  • 10–15 kW installed; single-point electrical connection

Frequently asked questions

Can the 16-seat ship really be installed indoors?

Yes — it is specifically designed for it. You will need at least 7.5 m of clear internal height, slab loading verified by a structural engineer and a low-noise drive package. We derate the swing angle for indoor units and can supply an acoustic enclosure.

How much does a mini pirate ship cost?

It is the lowest-cost model in our ship range. Final price depends on theming, lighting, holiday-period demands and shipping. Send your venue details and we will return a firm quotation.

How many staff are needed to run it?

One operator and one attendant. The cycle is short and the restraint system is simple, so a single trained operator can manage the ride with an attendant checking restraints at the gate.

Is it suitable for very young children?

It is designed for families. Most operators set a minimum height around 100 cm with an adult, or 120 cm unaccompanied, and the 60° swing keeps the motion comfortable for first-time riders.
