Quick answer
A playful pirate-themed cruise from Side where kids dress up, hunt for treasure, and swim in the Mediterranean while parents soak up the sun.
Some family days simply become legends at the dinner table for years to come, and this one is built exactly for that. The fun kicks off the moment a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your hotel in Side and carries you the short hop down to the harbor, where a cheerfully decorated pirate ship is waiting to set sail. As soon as little feet step aboard, the crew, dressed head to toe as pirates, hands the children their own pirate costumes and the adventure officially begins. There are games, high-seas stories, and plenty of laughter, with a treasure hunt at the heart of it all, sending the young crew scrambling for clues and hidden loot around the deck. Between the games, the boat glides along a gorgeous stretch of coastline, pausing so everyone can dive into the clear Mediterranean water for a swim and a bit of snorkeling. Parents are free to stretch out, catch the sun, and let the crew keep the kids entertained. A tasty lunch with kid-friendly favourites and soft drinks is served on board, so nobody has to run off hungry. When the last treasure has been found and the coastline has offered up all its best photo moments, the boat returns to the harbor and you are driven back to your hotel with a crew of very happy little pirates.
