Quick answer
A gentle six-hour cruise from Side built entirely for young buccaneers: every child receives a pirate costume, the crew stays in character, and a treasure hunt runs between swimming and snorkelling stops.
Most boat days try to please everyone at once — this one puts the smallest sailors first. An air-conditioned vehicle collects your family from the hotel, and the moment your child steps aboard, a crew already dressed as pirates hands them a costume of their own.
From there the day runs on imagination: deck games and a treasure hunt send the young crew chasing clues from bow to stern while the costumed staff keep the story going. This is a family tour in the truest sense — parents remain with their children throughout, cheering or joining in as they like.
Between the games, the boat traces the coastline near Side and anchors for swimming and snorkelling in clear Mediterranean water. Lunch and soft drinks are served on board, and by the time you are driven back to the hotel there is usually a very tired pirate asleep on someone's shoulder.
The theme is not decoration here — it is the whole day. Costumes come out as soon as children board (you may bring your own if your child has a favourite), the crew plays along from start to finish, and the pace is set by young attention spans: a game, a swim, food, another game.
Bring a phone or camera — a small pirate at the ship's rail makes the kind of photo that ends up framed. Beyond lunch and soft drinks, only extra beverages, tips and personal spending cost anything additional.
