www.southpadrelive.com Shiver me Timbers and Splice me Mainbrace! There's strange goings-on at South Padre Island and Port Isabel, TX. A gathering of thieves, brigands, piratefolk and back-stabbing blackguards the likes of which have not been seen since the days of Blackbeard will thrill you as you sail the Laguna Madre while you enjoy your Grub and Grog. Sail the Laguna Madre with a crew of real pirates! The Black Dragon is a modern day replica of an 17th Century Galleon. Below the water line, she is a modern sea worthy vessel with the latest in marine technology, but above the water, she is a trip back into time, to a place where the likes of Jean Lafitte sailed the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Laguna Madre making port right here in Port Isabel. Legend has it that Lafitte took refuge in this area and dug a well in Laguna Vista. Local ranchers formed business alliances with pirates who sailed their contraband between the Rio Grande and Corpus Christi. Now you can sail the same waters with Black Dragon Cruises.
