Captain Barbarossa is Isaac from Brazil, an expert in Capoeira, the martial art created by African slaves that combines music, balance, fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts.

Four years ago a 15-year old Geordie called Luke Rooney saw the Pirates Adventure whilst on holiday in Mallorca. He decided then and there that one day he would be a pirate and even though he was too young, he kept applying to the show's directors. This year he turned eighteen and he has attained his wish to join the best entertainment show on the island. Luke is a sports acrobat and incredibly strong which is useful when you have another acrobat balancing on your head!

The latest crew member to be press-ganged in to service is cabin boy David Scott from Newcastle. He is one of the British Men's Four Acrobatic Champions and a top sports acrobat. Marcin Tylkozzski from Poland will be bouncing around on the trampoline this season and there are some new dancers joining the show for the first time this season too. Look out for Kara Poole who will mesmerize as the mermaid from the deep.
