Pirates of the White Sands

Captain Ransom Mayhem and Crew welcome you!

...coming soon, arrr...

Founded in Panama City Beach by Captain Ransom King Mayhem, Pirates of the White Sands began as a small two-man crew devoted to bringing history, joy, and service to life. Over time, it has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a brotherhood of more than 25 active pirates—each dedicated to helping the communities they sail through. The crew partners with schools, veterans’ groups, and special-needs organizations, hosting educational visits, living-history encampments, and public appearances at events such as the Pirates of the High Seas & Renaissance Festival—their signature annual gathering where pirates from across the nation unite to celebrate fellowship and raise funds for local causes. United under their motto Pirates with Purpose, they combine living history, community service, and the spirit of adventure to support efforts like Toys for Kids, Miracle League, and local veteran programs—all while keeping the legends of the Golden Age of Piracy alive on Florida’s sugar-white sands.
