The Defiant Crew is a maritime living history and entertainment group based in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

We portray pirates, sailors, and their families during the "Golden Age of Piracy" (1680 to 1730) and the early Colonial American era, demonstrating life aboard ships and ashore.

Our passion for history and love for all things piratical will soon have you saying, "Yo ho, a pirates life for me!"

We are widely known for our lively interactive programs, demonstrations, encampments, and dynamic black powder weapons demonstrations.

Our fun and fact-filled programs, enthusiastic and often hysterically funny shanty sings and storytelling are a delight to audiences young and old alike. Like real pirates, we're a resourceful and versatile group and our programs are custom tailored to suit all ages and environments.

For young and old, pirates are the "hook" that gets them interested in our nation's pirate/maritime history and heritage and brings the past to life before their eyes.

There's an old Buccaneer proverb: Everything is better if it has pirates in it. Truer words were never spoken. Whatever you are planning, why not make it better with the pirates of the Defiant Crew! We are available for: Historic Presentations, Birthday Parties, Charity Fundraisers, Pirate Weddings, Fairs and Festivals, Educational Programs, General Entertainment, and more!

So if you want pirates at your next event, contact us through our social media or email booking@thedefiantcrew.com!
