The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel or a meeting point in Side, then you board a pirate ship for a full morning and afternoon on the water. The crew runs games and activities designed to make kids feel like real pirates. The centerpiece is a genuine treasure hunt that plays out across the voyage. Between the games, the ship stops for swimming in the Mediterranean, giving everyone time to cool off and explore the water.

Lunch is served onboard, and a live guide narrates the experience in your language. The ship returns to Side in the late afternoon, with hotel drop-off included if you chose that option at booking. The whole experience runs six to seven hours, though exact timing depends on traffic during transfers and the time of day you depart.
