Overview of the Side Pirate Boat Trip

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure with the Side Pirate Boat Trip, a fun-filled day at sea that combines sightseeing, relaxation, and lively entertainment. This unique excursion in Side, Turkey is perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking to enjoy the Mediterranean in a playful pirate-themed atmosphere. From start to finish, you’ll be treated to stunning coastal views, crystal-clear waters, and a variety of activities that will make your day truly special.

Convenient Hotel Pickup and Setting Sail

Your day begins around 9:00 AM with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Side or nearby areas. Our comfortable, air-conditioned transfer vehicle will take you to the Manavgat River dock, where a magnificent pirate ship awaits. Once on board, the adventure starts as we set sail from the river towards the open sea. You can find a cozy spot on deck, relax on sun loungers, and feel the gentle breeze as the pirate boat departs. The experienced crew and tour guides will ensure everyone is safe and comfortable as we cruise along the water.

The Pirate Ship: Spacious, Safe, and Comfortable

Our pirate boat isn’t just about looks—it’s built for a comfortable cruise. The vessel is a large, multi-deck ship styled as a classic pirate galleon, complete with pirate flags and artwork that set the mood. It can accommodate plenty of guests with ease, offering ample space to move around, dance, or simply lounge under the sun. Despite its fun theme, the boat is equipped with all modern amenities: clean restrooms, freshwater showers to rinse off after swimming, and shaded seating areas for those who prefer to stay out of the direct sun. You’ll also find a bar on board serving alcoholic beverages (for purchase) and of course the unlimited soft drinks that are included in your tour. Safety is paramount—life jackets are available for all ages, and the attentive staff will provide safety briefings and ensure everyone is comfortable. In short, our pirate ship perfectly blends adventurous flair with practical comfort, so you can focus on enjoying the day.

Sailing Along the Coast and First Swim Break

As the pirate boat glides out of the Manavgat River and into the Mediterranean, you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of Side’s beautiful coastline. The boat will cruise past notable sights, including a fantastic view of Side’s ancient ruins such as the Temple of Apollo from the sea. We’ll make our first stop at one of Side’s picturesque bays for a refreshing swimming break. Dive into the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean or simply soak up the sun on deck. The calm, clear sea is perfect for a swim, and the crew is always on hand with life jackets for anyone who needs them. Non-swimmers can enjoy this stop too, as the scenery and atmosphere are delightful even if you stay on the boat.

Lunch on Board the Pirate Ship

All the sea air and swimming will surely work up your appetite. Around midday, we drop anchor at a beautiful spot (often near Side’s ancient harbor or a bay like Cleopatra Bay) to enjoy lunch. A delicious lunch is included in the tour, featuring freshly grilled chicken accompanied by rice and salad. Vegetarian options are usually available upon request as well. As you dine al fresco on the boat, you can admire the unique setting – imagine eating with a view of the historic Side harbor on one side and the open sea on the other. Unlimited soft drinks are provided throughout the journey, so you can quench your thirst with cola, lemonade, water, and more at any time. (Alcoholic beverages are available at the on-board bar for an additional charge.) This relaxing lunch break, lasting about an hour, is a great time to chat with fellow guests, snap photos, and relish the beautiful Mediterranean views.

Pirate-Themed Entertainment and Foam Party

The Side Pirate Boat Trip is not just about cruising and swimming – it’s also about having a blast with pirate-themed entertainment! Our friendly crew, dressed as swashbuckling pirates, will keep you and especially the kids engaged with fun activities. Don’t be surprised if there’s a treasure hunt on board or if the little ones get their faces painted like pirates. There are plenty of animation shows and games to go around – from pirate costume dances to interactive competitions like rope pulling contests or a playful pirate chase. Our pirate crew might even put on a small pirate show during the journey, reenacting a mock battle or a humorous skit that gets everyone giggling. Don’t be surprised if a "pirate attack" is staged, only for the kids to help defeat the silly "bad pirates" in the end – it’s all part of the immersive fun. Little buccaneers might win candy or small prizes during these games, making them feel like true pirates of the Mediterranean. As music plays, everyone can join in the fun.

One of the highlights of the day is the famous foam party. As we start heading towards our next stop, the crew will turn the deck into a floating dance floor. Sudsy foam will fill a section of the boat, and a professional DJ will pump out upbeat tunes. Get ready to dance and laugh under clouds of foam – an experience that delights both kids and adults! You’ll be dancing, clapping, and enjoying the lively atmosphere as the boat gently sails on. Be sure to have your camera or phone ready (in a waterproof case, ideally) to capture these hilariously fun moments. The foam party is a unique experience that truly sets this tour apart from any ordinary Side Boat Tour.

Scenic Views at Side’s Ancient Harbor

As the foam dissipates and everyone towels off, our pirate ship will make its way to Side’s iconic ancient harbor. Here, history meets the sea. From the boat, you’ll have a fantastic view of the Antique Side Harbor and the nearby Temple of Apollo, one of Side’s most famous landmarks. The captain will cruise slowly here, giving you a chance to take pictures of the historic waterfront and ruins. In some cases, we may briefly dock or pause so you can truly soak in the atmosphere of this ancient port where traders and pirates alike once sailed. It’s not every day that you get to admire 2,000-year-old temple columns from the comfort of a pirate ship!

This ancient harbor was once a bustling trading port centuries ago. The Temple of Apollo itself dates back to the 2nd century AD; dedicated to the god of sun and light, its surviving marble columns create a breathtaking silhouette against the sky. Viewing this historical gem from the sea is a special experience that adds a touch of awe to our fun day.

Swim at the Meeting Point of the Sea and River

After exploring the vicinity of Side harbor, we sail further towards the east where the Manavgat River flows into the Mediterranean Sea. This area is often called Turtle Bay (Caretta Bay) because it’s a natural habitat for the Caretta caretta sea turtles. Here, we’ll take another swimming break — but this one comes with a special twist. You have the chance to swim in two different waters at the same stop. On one side of the boat, you can jump into the cool, fresh waters of the Manavgat River; on the other side, you can enjoy the warm, salty sea. It’s a fascinating experience to feel the difference! The sandy river mouth area is also great for a little beach time if you prefer to wade in gently. Keep an eye out for turtles; if you’re lucky, you might spot a loggerhead turtle popping up for a breath! Occasionally, curious dolphins have been seen in the area too, adding to the excitement of the day.

Return Journey to the Harbor

With our hearts full and cameras packed with memorable photos, we begin our journey back after a full day of adventure. In the early afternoon, around 3:00 PM, the pirate boat will cruise back to the pier where our trip began. You can relax on the way back, enjoying the sunshine and perhaps sharing stories with new friends about the day’s highlights. Our crew might lead some final songs or dances to keep the energy up until the last moment.

Once we arrive at the dock, our vehicles will be ready to take everyone back to their hotels. The transfer back is just as convenient and comfortable as the morning pickup. By around 3:30 PM, you’ll be back at your accommodation – sandy, sun-kissed, and smiling from the day’s exploits.
