 Thousands cross her ample decks during port visits wondering what life was like then and now.

You know her from her modern movies as well.

Tours of Tall Ship HMS Bounty

Adults: $9 and Students: $5


Peanut Island Pirate Fest, West Palm Beach, March 20th and 21st A pirate experience for the whole family featuring the tall ships HMS Bounty and the Privateer Lynx.

The Bounty was built in 1960 for MGM studios' Mutiny on the Bounty with Marlon Brando. Since then, the new Bounty has starred in several feature-length films and dozens of TV shows and historical documentaries.


The studios commissioned the ship from the shipwrights of Smith and Ruhland in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to commission a new Bounty to be built from scratch. Completely seaworthy and built just the way it would have been 200 years before, the new Bounty was constructed from the original ship's drawings still on file in the British admiralty archives


The HMS Bounty Organization LLC is dedicated to keeping the ship sailing and using her as a vehicle for teaching the nearly lost arts of square rigged sailing and seamanship.

The Organization operates a variety of programs on board including sail training programs for the general public, group leadership and teamwork training, a Sail Away Summer Camp program, and dockside educational programs for elementary and secondary school children.
