Captain's Cove is such a cute store! I love anything with a nautical theme, and this store has tons of great stuff. This seems like such a fun (and appropriate) store for a shopping center like Seaport Village! My son thought the pirate themed items were great! There were clothes for adults and children alike. I thought the onesie that said "I smell trouble" was just too cute. They have pirate shirts and hats. The huge selection of guns was truly unique. There were lots of signs, plaques, and even wall art. There are items even hanging from the ceiling here. The nautical items are my favorite things to explore here. Brass bells, signs, and clocks are throughout the store. I really like lighthouses, and we found the cutest jewelry box and snow globe. We liked them so much that we ended up buying both. They had some nice compasses and clocks that would make nice gifts for anyone who likes nautical stuff. The service was good here too. The salesperson who rang up our items was both thoughtful and sweet. She made sure to ask if we found everything we were looking for and wrapped our items with such care. She was also very knowledgable about the items here too. If you're anywhere near Seaport Village and need to buy a gift for someone who likes nautical or pirate themed items, you'll never go wrong with stopping by Captain's Cove for a unique gift!! read more

I returned to San Diego this year, my favorite city! I stopped here at Captain's Cove and I saw a shirt I just loved. I didn't buy it at the time, but when I got home I decided to buy it over the phone. When I called I spoke to Asma. She took care of my order and even wrapped it up in cute nautical paper for me! I received it just a few days later. I was very happy with my purchase and will return there next year in person. They also have really cool pirates up near the ceiling that are fun to get a photo of. I recommend this store for souvenirs when you are in Seaport Village! read more

All of my rennie friends who also enjoy all things pirates - would love to get set loose in this shop! As I entered, I noted the background music playing was Sea Shanties! There were some rather large decorative piratical items I would loved to have secured for next year's Privateer Feast (annual fundraiser for breast cancer research where everyone dresses like pirates, gets drunk, and spends money on raffle tickets and auction items). Since I did not have room to haul any large booty and loot back to Virginia with me - the guys running the shop advised me they have a web site and they ship! Avast ye Scally Wags! Prepare to be boarded! read more

Great little store in Sea Port Village full of fun and cute souvenirs! As a local I wasn't looking for anything for myself but the employees were happy to help me shop for an upcoming business trip for small San Diego labeled items (not tacky) to bring to my coworkers on the east coast! I settled on some super cute treasure chests with a little side label that would be carry on friendly. I was surprised that they helped me shop and thankful that they sped up my shopping trip since I could spend hours looking at all the little things they have to offer! read more

Captain's Cove - Got these cute little treasure chests to bring to my coworkers next week in NJ - Gift Shops Near Me - San Diego, California

This store, back a few years with the original owners, was the place to get pirate stuff. You could buy pirate trinkets, pirate shirts, flags, hats, weapons of all kinds, books. Now with these owners, it has gone way down hill. All they are selling are t-shirts with pirates written on them. This store should change its name. It's a rip off read more

"All who enter must surrender the booty" I thought this sign was unique when I saw it at Captain's Cove, but later discovered it at some other tourist stores. Still, I'm so lame I laughed. Captain's Cove is a new breed of pirate souvenir store I've noticed lately in Seattle and now, San Diego (not that they're related). The entire store is full of pirate stuff including cute little framed treasure maps (want!). The best souvenir was a real coconut (with husk/hair) made into some crude voodoo head. Their business card includes a 12% off discount (um, nice round number) for your online order with code "CC6." read more

I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed this store before. Walking in there I thought I was at Disneyland, with the pirate music and all the pirate gear. It is reasonably priced for being in seaport village, the two people that were working were very nice and the stuff was super cute. I ended up getting my friend a "poop deck" sign. It made me giggle. Aside from the pirate stuff they also have a great amount of nautical "stuff". Like anchors, ship wheels and such. Can't wait to go back with more $ to really get everything I wanted. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE. Absolutely terrible service. The woman running this store was incredibly rude to me and my sister. She insisted I buy a shirt that had a stretched out top that I tried on "because of the pandemic" and would not let me take another one in the same size. I went back in to exchange and she took my receipt and asked me "if I could read." So incredibly rude please do not shop here!!!! read more

This shop is a wonderful quaint place located in this nice shopping center. Poshe was the employee there, what a delightful man to talk to. This store is loaded with nice Souvenirs. Love the music this place played. read more

Annoying return policy. Would not buy from again. More trouble than it's worth to get a refund on a damaged jacket. A good store would be able to issue a partial or full refund without requiring me to drive out of my way to return the item. Not an SD local (family is) and they require me to physically bring the item back. Other stores are able to do this, you can't? I offered to send through mail or email photo of damage but that was not acceptable. Cheap material! Beware. read more

We really enjoyed this store, they have great nautical, pirate, mermaid themed items. They have a pretty unique collection of stuff and have a friendly staff. My husband has been looking for a boatswain's whistle for quite some time. We saw one at the Renaissance Faire in Irwindale but it costs too much, but found the same one at Captian's Cove for only about $14 bucks. One of the employee dresses up as a pirate and looks like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. He was super knowledgeable about the items in the store. We saw a lot of cute ornaments, posters, signs, clothes, lamps, figurines at very affordable prices. Definitely one of our favorite stores in Seaport Village. read more

This place is a RIP off. They charged my card more than my receipt and tried to give me the run around when I called to ask why they charged me the wrong amount. This place is overpriced and has poor quality products. Dont waste your time here. Worthless place that obviously has employees giving it 4 stars because this place isnt worth 1 star. read more

This is a kewl store. We drove from La to Sd to look for some pirate gear. We found a few little things that would do us some good for our costumes. We were disappointed in the hat selection. When in town we will probably stop back in to see if any new trinkets catch our eye ... read more

Bought a shirt on vacation. Got home & saw the seam had been missed during sewing ( 30.00) tshirt. So I call the number on receipt- its just a voice mail. I leave one. Call the numbers I found online...nothing. Send an email to an address I found online- nothing. These people have no way to get ahold of them and a no return policy. So eve if I did I am sure id be out anyhow. So buyer beware and look carefully before purchase. read more

They have the best rum chocolate bar I've ever had! It's amazing, would make an awesome souvenir.

Great little Pirate Shop in Seaport Village. I love Pirate stuff and it has alot of it.

Pretty cool stuff. Nice place to stop into for a variety of decently priced souvenirs.

What great customer service! The new employee Patrick and his Manager, as well as the supporting employees really made the experience enjoyable. So good, in fact, I agreed to purchase a t-shirt that I need to lose a few pounds to fit into comfortably. They signed me up for a repeat buyer's club, and allowed me to try the fabulous rum cake samples, a few bites of every flavor. I was happy to assist in Patrick's training indirectly and look forward to returning to seaport village and shopping here again. It concluded a great day out in San Diego Perfectly. All my ARRRRRR! belong to this store and it's staff! read more

Great place to get your pirate fix!!! They have a lot of cool decorations and old guns!! Mark was very helpful and knew a lot about all the products. He was very helpful in choosing a gun! A great place to have fun. read more

We bring the family to Sea Port Village twice a year....and the kids all know Captains Cove is my favorite shop. The crew is always fantastic and when they get into character for the kids its just that much more entertaining. Great job read more

Cant believe all the great stuff that this place has for either Renaissance Festival or Halloween you cant beet there prices.

Bought a souvenir as a thank you. The quality and service were fine. The charge to my account was 5% more than my receipt says. Not a big deal for the small amount, but watch out if you buy something big! Make sure you aren't overcharged! read more

I love this store. Great, fun stuff at amazing prices. I saw the exact same item in the village at twice the price. Patrick, who processed my order made my day. Super friendly and hilarious! Not just that - he went out of his way to point out a few more attractions in the area to make my stay memorable. And he did - he really stood out from the crowd :) read more

Mighty fine wears, nautical nostalgia and ample booty! Arrrr! The Irish Rover In the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and six We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks For the grand City Hall in New York Wed an elegant craft, it was rigged fore and aft And how the trade winds drove her She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts And they called her the Irish Rover There was Barney Magee from the banks of the Lee There was Hogan from County Tyrone There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work And a chap from Westmeath named Malone There was Slugger OToole, who was drunk as a rule And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover And your man Mick McCann, from the banks of the Bann Was the skipper on the Irish Rover There was awl Mickey Coote, who played hard on his flute When the ladies lined up for his set He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille Though the dancers were furthered and bet With his sparse, witty talk he was cock of the walk As he rolled the dames under and over They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance That he sailed in the Irish Rover We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags We had two million barrells of bone We had three million bales of old nanny goats tails We had four million barrells of stone We had five million hogs and six million dogs And seven million barrells of porter We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides In the hold of the Irish Rover We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out And our ship lost her way in a fog And a whale of a crew was reduced down to two Twas myself and the captains old dog Then the ship struck a rock, oh, Lord what a shock And nearly tumbled over Turned nine times around, then the poor old dog was drowned Im the last of the Irish Rover read more

MY kids and I love this place. Even before we moved to San Diego this place was always on our to do list. They have everything you need for your pirate attire. They people that work there are always super nice and patient with kids. The only thing i wish is that the store was bigger. I always feel so crammed. read more

Our favorite store in Seaport village. We have many of their pieces in our home. Can't wait to return.

There's lots of cute little ship/pirate themed gifts in here, from shirts, hats and other clothing, to photos, Christmas ornaments and more. Pricing is expensive though. I bought a onesie for my daughter because it had a mermaid on it, and it was 15$, nothing super special, just a mermaid and "San Diego" on it. Also didn't have a variety of sizing, just 6 months and 18 months...that's a pretty large gap to not carry. Girl working there was polite though. At one point during checkout a man showed up and stood next to her for a few minutes staring at me, but saying nothing. He mumbled something to her, and then continued to stand there. It was awkward to say the least. Other than that, if you're looking for pirate inspired gifts, this is a good place to check out. read more

Cedric the pirate (manager) was extremely helpful and friendly. When I pointed out that the pocket of a sweatshirt had a hole in it Cedric not only gave me a 20% discount but he was very helpful in finding matching earrings to a necklace I purchased and when I chose an ornament for a gift he let me know that it was made out of a genuine sand dollar shell. This shop is filled with treasures from trinkets for home or gifts to the people that work there and are very joyful to talk to and assist you. A must see shop. read more

This was a fun place to visit and shop when we were in San Diego recently for a UCSD graduation. The staff was friendly, helpful and entertaining. And this didn't end when you left the store; I contacted them via email regarding something I saw in the shop and they directed me to the exact location on their web page where I could find and purchase it online. In addition, when I forgot to use the code to get the 12% discount for the online purchase, as offered on their business card, I called and they were able to give me a credit for it since I paid with PayPal. I will definitely shop there again both on-line and when I next visit San Diego. Excellent customer service! Yo ho ho. read more

Great shop with nautical gifts I had trouble finding elsewhere. The staff was super and helped me with selection, shipping (safely to the midwest!) and signing me up for discounts. I will be back here again and I highly recommend that you stop and check out the fun and values. read more
