Quick answer
A pirate ship built for pure family fun, treasure hunts and face paint for the little ones, a foam party and two-sea swimming for everyone.
Some holiday days belong entirely to the children, and this is one of them. It all starts with a comfortable, air-conditioned pickup from your hotel by Atalay Transfer, bringing you straight to our Side departure dock ready for a morning on the water. At 10:00 sharp the pirate ship casts off and drifts gently down the river toward the delta, a rare spot where the icy fresh water of the river meets the warm, salty Mediterranean side by side. Here the whole family can slip in for a swim and feel two seas at once. Back on deck, the crew's animation team takes charge. Kids are turned into pint-sized pirates with free face painting, sent chasing a secret treasure map, and pulled into tug-of-war and the crowd favourite: hunting down the cheeky pirate Ferhat. A kid-approved lunch of spaghetti, chicken fingers and fish fingers keeps everyone fuelled. As the afternoon warms up, the deck becomes a dance floor. A foam party erupts to upbeat music, Halay dancing and playful kids' routines, all watched over by our licensed captain and certified crew, before the same comfortable transfer carries you back to your hotel.
