• 5Brilliant day out

  Absolutely great trip start to finish. So many stops to have a swim. Lunch was fantastic. Guys very welcoming. Would definelty recommend. Only downfall some guy having a go at staff as there was 11 in there group and not enough seats on upper deck. Telling staff 11 bad reviews going on cause they couldn't sit together. Plenty seats downstairs but guy having none of it. Seen he ended up on other pirate boat. Wouldn't have entertained him. Just entitled. So don't listen to negative reviews. These guys go out there way to make it so enjoyable.

• 5Wonderful day out

  Last minute booking via an agent in the hotel Reasonably priced - £35 per person (same price for children) Full day out, including transfers, face painting for the kids, games, lunch ( very tasty - chicken, rice and salad), foam party X2 stops for swimming Plenty of seating/sunbeds Very relaxed atmosphere You can go on a guided tour for 2 hours around Side at the end if you want but everyone was so exhausted I don't think anyone took that offer. Highly recommend this day out

• 3Ok if traveling with young children

  Picked up on time. Arrived at boat all drinks have to be handed over before getting on and had to wait an hour for others to arrive. Beautiful weather for a boat trip. Stopped at the section of beach area which you must stay in our they shout at you. Each boat has a section of the beach/shops to use a few sunloungers. Jetski and camels available. Then lunch. Chicken, salad, rice and bread a typical but lovely trip lunch. Then sail a bit to sea for a swim stop in clear waters. Back on boat and sail back. 2nd floor gets cramped with foam party and children’s disco. The music played onboard is dull. The trip didn’t really have an atmosphere unlike others we have been on. Ages 11,14,17,41 and 60. We all thought it was boring and aimed at family’s with small children. Drinks all 3euros each. Onboard photographer at the start with his parrot - all extra cost. Arrived back to bus at 3pm to head back.

• 5Good, cheap, not too long

  It was a good trip for a little money. Lots of sea and music instead of words, interesting animation for children, delicious food

• 1Disappointing and boring

  To start with, the bus that picked us up was overcrowded, there were more people on the bus than seats, creating danger for all passangers. To be honest, the boat tour was disappointing and boring. We were expecting a big boat with quite a lot of fun as in the pictures from the website, but the boat was quite small and nothing like on the pictures. All drinks, even water bottles, were confiscated by the boat team before boarding, forcing us to buy drinks onboard. The entertainment was very poor, with one of the male crew members dressed as a woman being the highlight of the boat tour. Lack of proper entertainment during the tour made is really lenghty and boring. The staff was very nice, fun and smily though. The foam party, mainly addressed to kids, was stopped right at the beginning as the crew spotted a coast guard passing our boat. The swim breaks were good, but two out of three were on the same pebbled beach, would be better if the last brreak would be in another lagoon. All in all it wasn't a really good experience and definately not worth the money.

• 5Highly recommend

  With so many boat trips to choose from we struggled to pick but we are so glad this was our choice. Tickets are so reasonable, it does end up working out more with drinks (we paid about €40 for round 10 drinks and you can’t take your own on) if you get a free child ticket it’s €3 for their lunch, buying photos with parrot (if you choose) and tips but personally we still found it very reasonable. Vegetarian lunch was easy to get which I was worried about before. Crew were all so friendly, helpful and fun. It would be impossible to be bored, between stops for swims the crew pulled out all the stops. If you’re unsure like we were we’d highly recommended you choose this trip.

About Side

Side is a small Turkish Mediterranean resort on an ancient peninsula, with Roman and Greek temples, a theatre and golden beaches on both sides.

Side was an important port of ancient Pamphylia, and its ruins stand on a small peninsula where the town and harbour now are. The Roman theatre, one of the largest in the region, rises behind the town, and the Temples of Apollo and Athena, with their columns, stand on the seafront. A Roman bath houses the Side Museum, and the old gate and walls lead into the village.
