Established in 2011 the Gasparilla Krewe Of The Black Pearl is a Pirate Krewe that invades the Tampa Bay Area each Gasparilla Season. The Pearl is a 501C3 Not For Profit Corporation and our Krewe Members help to support many local bay area charities. If you would like more information please email our Krewe Mascot on the Contact Us tab above. Full Membership and Paid Stowaway (Guest) Spots are available but limited.
Under the leadership of our Captain, Roger Rivard, The Krewe Of The Black Pearl is composed of business men and women who have a common love for Pirate adventures and local charities that support both children and adults in need. Below are just two charities we are active with.
