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

4.1/5
261 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 price for adults was slightly over priced, however, the children’s price was great value for money. The boat was perfect for the experience. The beach we stopped at was lovely. Some of the staff were wonderful, a couple couldn’t care less which was disappointing and sad for the staff who put in 100% effort. Raquel was lovely and the ‘captain’ was brilliant

    The staff were lovely & the boat crew. However, we did the one in Rhodes last year & so had expected it to be like that & it wasn’t. I’d say because of the size of the boat. We wrongly thought there was a swim stop at Pserimos but really it was just a boat to another island. There was only about 10 mins of activity on the beach when we got there & more free time than we’d expected so hadn’t planned to go somewhere for lunch. Better info in the instructions would’ve helped.

    I don’t think there is a lot wrong with the excursion vs the description. Pserimos is stunning i’d love to go back again during the shoulder season(s). I think to really get the most out of this tour you have to have children happy to engage in the tour. Having a neurodiverse child, she won’t always do that. The only disappointing thing is onboard the lack of awareness of children pushing in for certain activities. Overall though the staff were very good.

    Loved the face painting, bandana and games for children on the way out. Pirate was great our 4 year old boy loved it. The only thing was the way back was a bit quieter and our little boy kept asking when the pirate music and games were starting again and nothing happened other than certificates being given out. Maybe more activities on the way back would be good. Definitely more aimed at younger children. Bit disappointed were told it would be a 20 min transfer and it was 1 hour each way.

    From beginning to end the trip was fantastic. Coach arrived 5mins early with air con in full swing which is always appreciated. Drive down to dock did not take long and then the greeting from the TUI pirates from the offset was brilliant. The whole boat trip they had accommodated activities to keep the children busy with a variety of things to do that were so much fun. They always ensured people were safe on the stairs too. Beach activities with pirate captain were fun and engaging. Excellent!

    The boat was a decent size catering for all guests. The entertainment was brilliant and the kids loved it, with face painting, sword making and a treasure hunt. We missed a bit of of this due to being on a different deck so perhaps you could run the same thing on both decks so everyone is always involved? The treasure hunt was fun and time on the island lovely. Ship was clean and journey smooth. Perhaps some refreshments for the adults would have been good as there wasn't a lot for "our" money.
