A great day out for all the family. - This was a great day out for all the family, many thanks to Eric for organising this. The boat is magnificent and the views are great. There was time for swims and we had a nice lunch on board. The foam party was lots of fun just take care by the stairs as the floor can get slippery. All in all a great family day out.

Pirate boat - It was a nice experience and I recommend it.... The staff on board the ship very kind. Thank you mr. BARTU!

Day well spent - Great experience, got to swim in the sea, food was OK, entertainment could have been slightly better for adults but overall good experience being on a pirate ship. Hotel transfer was really organised. Only negative was the price of the bar, very expensive.

Side Big Kral Pirate Boat Trip - My first time booking through excursions.com and to say I was wary is an understatement…however it went really well. I booked online to which they don’t take a penny, you just pay cash on the day (accept any currency too, I paid in GBP). Within minutes of the booking Bartu whatsapp me and answered any questions I had which was great as I couldn’t access my emails for the confirmation. The transfer picked us up from our hotel at 7am prompt and took us to the port where the boat was. It was there waiting when we returned too. The boat itself was phenomenal, I’ve never been on one like it. I was worried about motion sickness but there’s so much going on you don’t even realise. During the trip there we looked at the beautiful scenery and stopped off for a dip in the sea. We then had about one and half hours to look around a place (forget the name) so we decided to look at some shops and get lunch at a restaurant. Lunch is actually included on the boat and looked really nice (grilled chicken, rice, veg and fruit) we just fancied something a bit different. On the way back we stopped off a couple of times again for a swim, the boat staff put on a performance and played some adult type game shows for entertainment. The children were entertained the whole time with mini discos and had face painting. They could also purchase T-shirts to paint and pirate toys for a small price. There were snacks available on board too. The foam party was near the end and I can’t put into words the atmosphere on the boat at this time. Everybody was out of their seat and joining in and the music was on point. After this they wash you off with lots of water jets and then you can jump in the sea if you want to. The one thing I did find expensive was the photos they take on board… they were beautiful photos but when asking if you wanted them they were around £18 for just a 4x6 photo in a frame. The only negative point I would like to add which didn’t affect us in the end but might be worth mentioning if you are looking to book was that when I looked at reviews beforehand I saw negative reviews about people’s trips being cancelled and them not being told about it or the transfers being really late with no communication etc, well we originally booked from Antalya not side and it got cancelled the night before. I kept asking for a pick up time and got no response until I kept pushing and then finally got a response late at night to say it was cancelled. So from this I can believe that this does happen occasionally. However, Bartu was quick to help us set up the trip in side to replace it so it didn’t affect us in the end and the whole experience was amazing! We were a family of 5 including to teenagers and a toddler.

Fun - although in the reservation it was written that all drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are included, it was not so. I paid for any alcoholic drink, for coffee, for tea. It was not just me, everybody was in the same situation Also, your pick up time is around 7, if you are in Side, because the boat is in Alanya It was fun, the staff is nice, I enjoied myself Everything on the boat is expensive, be prepared P.S. It's not the biggest, the Legend of Big Kral is.

Horrendous organisation!! - We never even got there! Booked the trip for Sunday. Received a message on Saturday informing us the trip wouldn't go ahead so we could have a refund or postpone until Monday. We chose to postpone. On Sunday morning I received a phonecall from hotel reception at 7:40am telling me our transfer was here to pick us up for the cancelled trip along with a message from organiser to say the trip was in fact happening and he didn't know who had told me it wasn't even though he was messaging me via the same method. He assured me we could still go on the Monday trip. Sunday evening I messaged to ask what time pickup would be in the morning to be told we were booked on the Tuesday trip. When I questioned this I was simply told "that's how it is on the system". Monday arrives along with another message to say the Tuesday trip was cancelled and we could go on Thursday if we wish. At this point, I requested a refund. No apology at any point. Not impressed. Luckily I was able to book a different trip to cheer up our very disappointed children and we had a fantastic time.
