Every recruit leaves Cape May with two things—discipline and the infamous Crud. This kit is the perfect way to celebrate your Coastie’s graduation and welcome them into the fleet. Packed with a “Cape May Crud Survivor” soft tee, sticker, koozie, and a Puddle Pirate lifestyle hat, plus a drawstring backpack to carry it all, this bundle marks the end of boot camp and the start of the journey. Each kit also includes a handwritten postcard from our owner, a Coast Guard Veteran, with a personal note of congratulations and a 10% discount code for their next adventure. A lighthearted nod to the toughest eight weeks around—because surviving the Crud is practically a rite of passage.
Note on Fit & Feel of the Soft Tee:
We use the Bella + Canvas 3001 for its soft feel, lightweight comfort, and clean look. It has a slightly slimmer cut than a standard tee—closer to a retail fit than a boxy one. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier feel, we recommend sizing up.
At Puddle Pirate Co., we celebrate the spirit of the U.S. Coast Guard with quality apparel that honors its legacy of service, resilience, and pride, while fostering unity and giving back to the community.
