Blackbeard, Barbarossa and Jack Sparrow can eat their hearts out – the real pirate adventures are here in eastern Cyprus. Enjoy a four-hour sailing of high jinks on the high seas aboard the Black Pearl pirate ship – one of the Mediterranean's largest replica pirate galleons.

Under the watchful gaze of Captain Jack, the Black Pearl's crew will take you from Ayia Napa harbour on a swashbuckling pirate adventure that'll entertain the whole family. The Cap'n will sail towards some of the best snorkelling spots and sea caves along the east coast of Cyprus – there'll be swimming stops at Konnos Bay and off Protaras.

And in between anchor-downs, there'll be a treasure hunt for little ones as well as a pirate show. The ship is equipped with a fully stocked bar too, so bring some cash if you want to have a drink in the sun.

The trip was great fun and family friendly. My kids loved it and the guides were extremely funny and entertaining. They were great helping the kids in the water and one of the guides dived into the sea to retrieve my husbands GoPro that he dropped. Only downside was my daughter is vegetarian and we told TUI at time of booking but no one told us we would need to let anyone know before collecting her meal at which point all the vegetarian food had gone.

You will see the ayia napa coast from a distance. But nothing spectacular. The best part of the cruise is when it stops and let passengers swim. Food is ok, ordinary chicken and rice. The ship can be crowded inside. Ok experience if you are really bored.

My family enjoyed the whole experience the staff on the cruise were the best

Crew were amazing food lovely big boat plenty of space comfortable areas

Brilliant day, really was good fun. Special mention to the way they looked after my daughter, made sure she was safe with life vest before we went into the sea. All the staff were lovely

Really enjoyed the trip the hosts where very friendly and they explained all landmarks, time went so quick and there was humour as well, swimming in the blue lagoon was amazing they always put safety first. Excellent
