Overview

The Black Prince Rum Experience

Ahoy mateys! Join the Black Prince and become a pirate for a day at the Captain’s Tavern. Experience a unique blend of history and rum while making fun memories with your fellow pirates. Our experienced rum fanatic will share the exciting stories and rich history that the Caribbean has to offer. Life is always better while sharing stories over amazing rums. 

Make your way to the Captain’s Tavern by Jeep and enjoy the sights of Antigua an hour before the Rum Tour starts. The Captain’s Tavern is strategically located in Antigua’s Main Shopping district “Heritage Quay”. After an hour of shopping, make your way back to the Captain’s Tavern and enter the “Black Prince” for the start of your rum tour.

 Taste seven (7) unique Caribbean rums, each giving interesting insights into the Caribbean’s History. Uncover the origins of rum from its humble beginnings as perennial grass to the development of a liquor from a waste biproduct with no practical use. This cheap new spirit boosted the wealth of Sugar Barons, and EU countries to the richest in the World, leading to hundreds of years of wars among Europeans. 

“Rum is a sweet thing – so please drink responsibly”. Completion of Tour with a leisurely dozy drive back to the Hotel!
