Wonderful day out - Last minute booking via an agent in the hotel
Reasonably priced - £35 per person (same price for children)
Full day out, including transfers, face painting for the kids, games, lunch ( very tasty - chicken, rice and salad), foam party
X2 stops for swimming
Plenty of seating/sunbeds
Very relaxed atmosphere
You can go on a guided tour for 2 hours around Side at the end if you want but everyone was so exhausted I don't think anyone took that offer.
Highly recommend this day out

Successful day trip 👍🏼 - We took part in the pirate boat tour yesterday and were very satisfied overall. The shuttle was punctual and well organized. The tour itself had three bathing stops, the first and the last taking place on the same beach – but did not bother us.
After the first stop there was lunch (rice, chicken, salad) which was completely fine in taste. The weather was fantastic and the atmosphere on board was overall relaxed and good. The crew was available for fun, especially children got their money's worth from the animation.
A real highlight was the second stop for swimming at Dolphin Island – unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins or turtles, but the place itself was great.
For my daughter, the foam party was the absolute highlight – she would have liked to romp in the foam even longer!
The only negative point: The smell in the lower deck by the toilets. It didn't smell like toilet, but rather like paint or solvent, which was a bit uncomfortable.
The tour lasted with pick-up from 08:20 to about 18:00 (pure boat tour about 8.5 hours). For some families with young children it may be too long, but for us it was an all-round successful trip.

A boat trip, that's funny. - Funny, educational and indescribably beautiful. We learned a lot about land and people on board, saw beautiful nature and ate delicious lunch. For young and old there was a foam party and in between pictures by professional photographers.

Good, cheap, not too long - It was a good trip for a little money. Lots of sea and music instead of words, interesting animation for children, delicious food

Unfortunately, the kids lacked the animation and did not wear makeup. Besides, far too few vests for the children - Too few vests for the children had to wait a long time because the adults had to put one on and the kids left standing. Should be better organized with the West !

Ok if traveling with young children - Picked up on time. Arrived at boat all drinks have to be handed over before getting on and had to wait an hour for others to arrive. Beautiful weather for a boat trip. Stopped at the section of beach area which you must stay in our they shout at you. Each boat has a section of the beach/shops to use a few sunloungers. Jetski and camels available.
Then lunch. Chicken, salad, rice and bread a typical but lovely trip lunch.
Then sail a bit to sea for a swim stop in clear waters.
Back on boat and sail back. 2nd floor gets cramped with foam party and children’s disco.
The music played onboard is dull. The trip didn’t really have an atmosphere unlike others we have been on. Ages 11,14,17,41 and 60. We all thought it was boring and aimed at family’s with small children.
Drinks all 3euros each.
Onboard photographer at the start with his parrot - all extra cost.
Arrived back to bus at 3pm to head back.

Tour with old Scu - missed treasure hunt.. - Nice trip with a charming old squeak. Nice service on board that created a good atmosphere! Gives the post 3 stars due to lack of treasure hunt, which was described in the ad.

No pirate tour rather sales tour - We expected a pirate tour and got a boat trip with a stop for food on board and a stop on the sea with a short foam party and with once jumping into the water after that we went back. Nothing with treasure hunting or anything like that. A parrot was briefly on board to take pictures with children and then sell them expensively. Drinks had to be bought expensively on board. Unfortunately not what the name promises

Disappointing and boring - To start with, the bus that picked us up was overcrowded, there were more people on the bus than seats, creating danger for all passangers. To be honest, the boat tour was disappointing and boring. We were expecting a big boat with quite a lot of fun as in the pictures from the website, but the boat was quite small and nothing like on the pictures. All drinks, even water bottles, were confiscated by the boat team before boarding, forcing us to buy drinks onboard. The entertainment was very poor, with one of the male crew members dressed as a woman being the highlight of the boat tour. Lack of proper entertainment during the tour made is really lenghty and boring. The staff was very nice, fun and smily though.
The foam party, mainly addressed to kids, was stopped right at the beginning as the crew spotted a coast guard passing our boat. The swim breaks were good, but two out of three were on the same pebbled beach, would be better if the last brreak would be in another lagoon. All in all it wasn't a really good experience and definately not worth the money.
