Good old fashioned fun for children - The Jolly Roger (no D in Roger!) and Captain Jack Pigeon (no D in Pigeon!) provide a good four hours of simple old fashioned fun. The trip included a number of activities, all were just the right length of time to keep the atttention of the children. The activities included Pirate Training, a very good magician, some dancing. There was an opportunity to have a swim. The buffet food was good quality and plenty of it. In these days where smart phones and pads are everywhere The Jolly Roger is an excellent way to revisit some fun outside of the digital world.

Fantastic Family Pirate Adventure - If you are looking for a fantastic family boat trip look no further. Packed with entertainment for the kids (suitabl3 for ages 3 to about 10/11 in my opinion), my little one (4yo) had a fantastic time. There is a bar for the adults to enjoy a cold drinks while the kids are busy dancing and getting involved with pirate training! For a small additional charge there was also the option to go out on the dolphin twister (super fast speedboat ride for adults and kids to enjoy). The whole crew were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Great value for money and all round throughly enjoyable afternoon out!

Great day out for the whole family. - Was in Paphos with my wife and two young daughters, and decided as a treat to take them out on a Pirate Ship Cruise for the day. Out of my two kids (aged 10 and 6) it was certainly more aided at my youngest age group, but by the two it got going my eldest was enjoying herself, and it was brilliant fun for the whole family. Plenty for them to do, with games, face painting and entertainment from Captain Jack Pigeon, so its a great day out for the family. The ship sails you out to a bay at the end of Paphos run way, and this is maybe my only criticism that you do get the smell of jet fumes from the planes taking off, but its enjoyable to swim. You also get to go on the fastest extreme speed boat on that side of the island, and my eldest loved it when me and her went on it. A really enjoyable lunch is also put on. So all in all a real must for families to do when in Paphos.

A fun-filled family-friendly jaunt on the high seas! - I wanted to leave a review because we had some worries before attending our cruise and wanted to answer them incase anyone else also had these fears. First mention needs to go to Pirate Pete and Pirate Polly. How they kept the energy levels so high, god only knows. Upon boarding the ship, we were given a lovely fruit juice as a welcome drink, but they have a comprehensive bar on board. I'd suggest any UK travellers use their card or contactless, because it comes off as pounds instead of Euros. (A 500ml can of Kopparberg and a bottle of Corona cost me £6-odds, very reasonable!) Also had crisps available as a snack if you can't wait for lunch. We travelled along the harbour a while then the entertainment started. Pete and Polly worked hard to entertain the kids with a treasure hunt, games, dancing and other Pirate-related fun, all the while making adult puns and jokes that had me genuinely cracking up. Then came swimming in the sea. As an adult who has an (understandably) big fear of open bodies of water, my son unfortunately doesn't share that fear, so he was going in without consideration of my feelings at all! Thankfully, they offer both adult and child lifejackets. So in we went. Granted, he only lasted about 18 seconds (being in the brisk salty sea isn't for everyone!) But I'm glad we did it to say we had done it :) Lunch was really good - a great selection of foods that cater for both vegetarian and non. (Sorry I didn't notice if anything was vegan, but I'm sure they'd be quick to inform you if this wasn't the case). We even had seconds, such was the amount of food put out! There was bread (with Lurpak butter, result!!!) fresh salad, chicken nuggets (kids got first choice with these and adults were able to take after), a lovely tomato pasta, marinated chicken thigh/drumsticks and potato wedges. We had seconds and were stuffed at the end of it. The entertainment continued with a magician who was honestly very very good, a kids (and adults) limbo challenge and some more music and dancing before we started our return journey. All in all, it was a 4-hour trip that went in so fast. We all had a thoroughly great day and it was well worth the price. All the staff went above and beyond. A brilliant trip. If you do go, please please don't make the mistake we made and not take cash to tip. All the staff on board really deserved it and we were so upset that we hadn't even considered taking cash!
