As family days out go, it doesn't get more rip-roaring than Jolly Roger pirate cruise. Adventurers young and old will have a barrel of laughs sailing the high seas between Paphos harbour to Ricco's Bay. There'll be plenty of activities to join in on, including limbo dancing and snorkelling as well as pirate favourites like face painting and walking the plank.

The buccaneering spirit is evident from the moment you set foot on the Jolly Roger – the kids can get their faces painted with obligatory eye patches and scars included. At Ricco's Bay, you can go snorkelling or try limbo dancing and – if you're brave enough – walk the plank.

After all those exertions, it'll be time to gorge on a buccaneer's buffet lunch. And then, to cap off your adventure, the crew will put on a swashbuckling performance. A great day out for the whole family – with lots of activities to keep the kids busy.

We had the best day our 5yr old loved it if I could give a higher rating I would captain jack and staff was so funny & brilliant with the kids and for 15 euro a speed boat pull up when your at sea the ride on that was worth every penny we loved it the food was lovely and plenty best day out thank you Jolly Roger

The overall experience was excellent, we’d highly recommend, however the transport to the ship was over booked and my pregnant wife and elderly parents had to stand whilst over people had children on their laps, this was a serious health and safety breach on the way there and were lucky there was no accidents

The boat was tiny, didn't even look like a pirate ship. It was targeted at toddlers yet didnt say that in the description. We sailed out for 15/20 mins then anchored up for hours in the blistering sun! The food was stone cold.. it was a terrible trip compared to other pirate ships we have been on in Cyprus, Turkey and Egypt. Overall we would not recommend and feel robbed for the price.

Wonderfully smooth experience from pick up to drop off. The Pirate captain had us adults laughing from start to finish and had a wonderful manner with the children. Great food- a wonderfully refreshing swim in the mist beautifully clear, calm waters and the bar was extremely reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone!

We loved everyone from the team, especially captain Jack, pirate pearl and the acrobats. We felt very entertained, and enjoyed also having some time to relax and sunbathe too. Also it was my daughter’s birthday and the team made a bit of a fuss about her so that was great. The one negative comment I have is that we felt as though the food provided for the lunch could have been better. The wedges were hard, dry and cold and the rice had no seasoning - but this didn’t let our experience down.

I have rated the staff high because the main ‘pirate’ was brilliant with my daughter. The other pirates were great when performing but down in the toilet area they were sat on their phones in full view of everyone. Bit disheartening for the kids when they go down and see it - I do understand the need for break. It would have been great if they interacted with the kids a bit more also. The food wasn’t good
