Pirates of Kos family boat trip with island swim stop and optional transfers

4/5
302 reviews

Ahoy there! Pirate Tim and his feathery first-mate, Calypso the Parrot, need your help to track down their lost treasure. But first, you need to be fully trained in all the skills you need to become a pirate. Set sail from the port of Kos and cruise towards the enchanting Pserimos Island, just north of Kos. As our seasoned sea captain Markus likes to say, "Pserimos is a little-known isle with hidden coves perfect for family fun in the sun. We'll anchor in a shallow bay that's ideal for swimming and splashing around."

You'll join our crew in search of the booty, and along the way, everyone will get into the pirate spirit with some help from the pirate team on the boat. There'll be lots of fun activities for everyone to join in with. Our lively pirates will ensure everyone gets into character with a free bandana, face painting and lots of exciting pirate-themed games. You'll learn all the swashbuckling techniques you need, from sword fighting to map reading. And don't forget, a sharp-eyed pirate is always on the lookout for clues, so stay alert for hints that lead to the hidden treasure.

When we drop anchor at Pserimos, feel the cool sea breeze as you splash into the water for a swim, or join in more of the playful games and activities we have planned. With the sun shining, laughter ringing, and pirate flags waving, it's sure to be an adventure you and your family will treasure forever.

    The staff on buss said nothing. At port. rep went ahead before we had unloaded pram then had to run to keep up. On the boat there were 7 reps but only 2 actually engaged with the activities and guests. No welcome on the boat for a while. One rep stood at the front of the boat for the whole trip looking miserable. Website says parrot and entertainment but no parrot and just taped music no join in with action songs or similar. Good sword fight. No encouragement for kids to participate.

    The transfer to the ship was too long, the weather was a little windy and so told some activities not available , the ship wasn’t too rough and my Grandchildren enjoyed it, the pirate scarf and sword was nice . Teh activities on the island were ok although my Grandchildren didn’t really get involved. time spent on the island was too brief and no opportunity to really swim . the staff tried hard and were all very nice but the opportunity to make this something special was missed.

    Stop on island did not allow for time to have a swim. Hardly any time to eat lunch. Issue was that due to weather conditions tour was shortened (from the very beginning). Why not just cancel it and reimburse?? Money at all cost??

    The bus trip was too long to not have any air conditioning, at the price per head that would be the least we would have expected. A heads up on the journey times would have been good. Would like there to be a rep on the bus to explain the day and answer questions etc Felt like the boat was far too busy for all the kids to really enjoy the proposed activities. Not enough room. The crew on the ship were excellent, the captain and his team were all professional, friendly and accommodating

    The staff were great, kept the energy up for the whole trip. The island was great - really nice to explore a different beach, and the boat trip itself was a great experience.
