RFP Clan Darksail

RFP Clan Darksail The Royal French Privateers of Clan Darksail™ is a pirates-for-hire acting troupe on the West Coast. And yes, we are affordable.

"Education through Entertainment" - That's the motto that Clan Darksail has used for nearly two decades now as the go-to swashbuckling group of passionate actors and educators entertaining audiences in the Greater Southwestern United States, as well as worldwide in such blockbuster films as "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl", "Master & Commander", "Assassin's Creed: The Devil's Spear" and

much more. The Royal French Privateers of Clan Darksail are more than just 'Pirates for Hire' though... they are dedicated to presenting an accurate portrayal of 17th Century French Corsairs, rather than your standard "Yo ho ho" Hollywood pirates. (Which, as actors, isn't to say they aren't hired to do exactly that from time to time for kids parties or silly videos.) But whether you are looking for b***y fun for your bachelor party, kid-friendly actors for your child's birthday, or a historically-accurate group of privateers to work at your Renaissance Festival, Clan Darksail is most likely the group you want on your side. Professional, respectful actors who can take the center stage or simply be background. We also have a huge section of props, from period tents (taverns, barracks, an armory, even a "house of ill repute") to real-firing black powder pistols, long guns and cannons, to barrels, crates, gibbet-cages and more to make your event or film as authentic as possible. We are always willing to work within any budget to satisfy your needs. Message us at [email protected] for more information!

So what does summer look like for us? We have two new events coming up, as well as two additional new events in the fall. We actually have even two more on top of that, but conflict with dates means we might have to pick and choose. But you read that right, we have six new events for you to see us at this year. That brings our total up to 12 weekends out of the year where you can see us, averaging one per month. And we're adding yet another one next year! We are the busiest group in the entire Ren Fair circuit, and although we are sad that we have to turn down a few events for those scheduling conflicts, overall we are super happy that we either do as many events as we can.

Come see the “History of Pirate Guns: Live Demonstration” show presented by The Royal French Privateers of Clan DarksailTM. This demonstration is an entertaining and educational show that puts you up close and personal with some of the most fearsome firepower in history. From the earliest 14th century handgonne - a type of medieval hand-held cannon that fired arrows - up through the Golden Age of Piracy, the crew of Clan Darksail shows off and fires reproductions of a great number of vatious fi****ms. These include pistols, muskets, some rare weapons like a 17th century gr***de launcher (yes, really!), a fully functioning Jailer's key with a hidden gun inside, and other unique armorments. The end of the demonstration concludes with different types of shipboard artillery, culminating with a shot from our full size Falconet field cannon, which produces a loud roar and flames that shoot out over 20 feet! After the conclusion of the show the audience is welcomed up to the ropes to meet the crew, ask questions, and can even handle the weapons and pose for photos with them. This entertaining and educational show is FREE with your admission to the faire, and is something you do not want to miss.

To purchase tickets to the faire visit Two Rivers Renaissance Faire for more info.
