"I be Captain John Greyson Shark, Gentleman Buccaneer roving the Seas Pillaging, Plundering, Swimming with and Saving Sharks. Yes I said swimming with them. You see, I make way to Jupiter now and then to swim with Bull Sharks in the winter. That be when the big females migrate in and, let me tell ye matey, they be a beautiful sight to see in that clear, blue Caribbean water. If ye want to have a gander for your onesy selves, my social media links be below. Being born and raised in the Buccaneer Port of Tamparrr Bay, I developed a love of Sharks, Sea and all things Pyrate at an early age. Me Ventures have taken me from Tampa Bay to the Voodoo Haunted Shores of Ayiti to the Treasure Laden Islands of the Florida Keys to the High-Toned-and-Fancy-To-Do Shoals of Carolina and back. Now I be running Buccaneer Adventures on the Beautiful, Sandy Shores of St Petersburg whilst sharing about Sharks and Shark Conservation!
Raise the Black - Save Sharks - Repeat!"

I, Captain John Shark, have created Original, Land-based Buccaneer Adventures for Resorts and Corporate Events such as Treasure Hunts, Crew Competitions, Be-a-Pyrate Photo Booth, Pyrate Greeter, Pirate Gatharrring and whatever Jolly (Roger) fun I dream up. I be having a little Q&A on Sharks, Shark Conservation, Pyrates and Beach Safety with me events as well. Every aspect of me Buccaneer Adventures be created by and run by me onesy self alone. They can be customized for various locales AND for adults. Since 2022, I have been proudly running Buccaneer Adventures monthly for guests at the Sirata Beach Resort.

Pyrates 101 be an informal Q&A talk about the Golden Age of Piracy from the Buccaneer Age through Bartholomew Roberts, the last great Pyrate of the Golden Age. We'll also set the record straight about Tampa Bay's most famous Pirate, Jose Gaspar. This be for kids and adults from middle school age and up, as Pyrate History tends to bore you
Pyrates 101 be an informal Q&A talk about the Golden Age of Piracy from the Buccaneer Age through Bartholomew Roberts, the last great Pyrate of the Golden Age. We'll also set the record straight about Tampa Bay's most famous Pirate, Jose Gaspar. This be for kids and adults from middle school age and up, as Pyrate History tends to bore younger lads and lasses. Be ye warned, there be some weapons discussion and maybe harmless, mostly, interactive demonstrating using a BOB dummy. Pyrates 101 canst be done indoors or outdoors, weather permitting.
NOTE: Pyrates 101 involves real and replica weapons. Not available to schools, non-permissive environments and such. Without weapons, it be a bit boring Yarrr!

Being Captain John SHARK, I LOVE Sharks and I be an avid Shark Conservationist. For over a decade I have Paddleboarded with Bull Sharks all over Tampa Bay and I SWIM with Bull Sharks in Jupiter every chance I get. Still have all my fingers and toes. Now, I be no schooled scientist or Shark Professional so Sharks 101 consists of a general overview of Sharks native to Tampa Bay, Shark Awareness, Shark Conservation Endeavors I support and my personal observations of Bull Sharks as an amateur Shark Naturalist. To have a gander at me Bull Shark Diving videos, see my personal TikTok and YouTube accounts. Links above.

DISCLAIMER - BY SHARK'S BITE, there be no balloon animals, juggling, clowns, magic acts, singalongs, etc in my Buccaneer Adventures! My crews learn real Pyrate History and Buccaneer skills like pistol and sword work, throwing grenadoes, taking Santa’s Elves hostage to trade for Loot, digging up Treasure with their bare hands and Captain Jack Sparrow running through headhunter territory. All of which can be customized for adults. Why should kids have all the fun?
Captain John Shark sailed away, sailed away
From his beloved Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay
A storm wrecked his ship in the dark, in the dark
Then up from the depths came a big ol' Shark, big ol' Shark
She grabbed John's belt and swam him away, swam him away
Back to his beloved Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay...
