Quick answer
A six-hour family pirate cruise from Side where the crew turns children into pirates with face painting, treasure hunts and games, ending in a foam party before the ride home.
This is the boat day your children will talk about at breakfast for the rest of the holiday. An air-conditioned Atalay Transfer vehicle collects you from your hotel in the morning, the pirate ship sets off from the Side coast, and from that point the programme belongs to the kids — with parents warmly invited to join every game.
On deck, a dedicated animation team runs the show: free face painting turns small faces into fierce buccaneers, a treasure hunt sends them searching the ship, and pirate games fill the gaps between. Lunch is planned around young appetites too — spaghetti, chicken fingers and fish fingers — so even picky eaters finish their plates.
There is a swim break at the spot where the Manavgat river flows into the Mediterranean, cool fresh water on one side and warm sea on the other. Later the deck turns into a dance floor for the foam party, and when it winds down, the same transfer drives your tired, happy crew back to the hotel.
Your ticket includes the onboard entertainment programme, the child-friendly lunch, the guides and animation team, travel insurance for every guest and the round-trip hotel transfer in air-conditioned vehicles. You only reach for your wallet at the bar: all drinks, alcoholic or not, are sold separately, as are the photos and videos taken during the animations.
The ship departs in the morning and pickup times are arranged around it, confirmed for your hotel after booking. In July and August the family departures fill quickly, so it is worth reserving a few days ahead — the reservation itself costs nothing.
