Fabulous and Fun Experience! - What a fabulous and fun trip!
We had always admired the ship in the harbour and decided to give it a go this year. And we are so glad we did! It was fun packed from the start, from the welcome drink of Billy Bones from Stavros the bar man, to singing along to Adam & The Ants as we sailed back into the harbour.
We were entertained by Captain Jack Pigeon and his 'Piratey Pirates' Patty and Penny throughout the day with activities & games, sword fighting, making the evil Pirate Pete walk the plank (yes it has a plank), a treasure hunt, face painting and more. We did find time for a quick swim in the sea at the Secret Pirate Cove, and a bite to eat from the Buccaneer's lunch! As well as all this there was a fantastic kid's magician and a Pirate Acrobat duo too!
All in all a great day on a great boat with great people! A big thanks to all the crew, the aforementioned Stavros and Pirates, and to Stella who was always on the go! And I can't finish without a shoutout to Pirate Patty for her lovely singing too!
Oh and I almost forgot! The ride on the Dolphin Twister with David Husseinhoff (not his real name I suspect), was just exhilarating!!
We will be back!

We went on the Jolly... - We went on the Jolly Roger Pirate Cruise a couple of days ago with our kids, and it was absolutely brilliant! From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made it fun, exciting, and completely family-friendly. The entertainment was perfect for the children – face painting, pirate games, dancing, a magic show – they were fully engaged and smiling the whole time!
The swim stop was a refreshing break, and the lunch buffet was much better than we expected for a boat trip – fresh, tasty, and plenty of options for both adults and kids. The crew were enthusiastic, kind, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. Special shout-out to Captain Jack and the team for making it a memorable day for our family!
Highly recommended if you're visiting Paphos with kids – this is one of the highlights of our trip!

Fun at sea for swashbucklers - The trip from start to finish was excellent. Capt Jack is amazing entertaining the children with games, face painting, balloon swords, lunch was plentiful and better than expected. Walking the plank was surprisingly scary but enjoyable but the water is very salty. Did the speed boat ride too which was enjoyable. Would recommend for families

It was a really good day... - It was a really good day out with our two boys and grandparents. We were very impressed with the buffet which included chicken, salad, rice, tomato pasta, wedges and chicken nuggets for the kids. The little pirate show and acrobats were fun to watch. The boys loved jumping off the plank into the sea. Drinks were reasonably priced onboard. The photographer was a nice touch and photos weren’t too expensive at €5 each if you wanted to buy them.

Leave the responsibility of educating to family values to the parents - Overall it was fun for the kids
We have 3yrs old and 6yrs old and there was plenty activities for them.
As parents we had a bad experience when captain Jack decided to address the kids with the phrase "boys and girls, gender neutral, non binary etc" twice.
We don't appreciate when someone decides to intervene and impose an ideological opinion on our children.
The eldest child in our group was approximately 8yrs old.
And shoving this agenda to toddlers and preschoolers is not appropriate, leave the responsibility of educating to family values to the parents.

Ok for the kids - Went with my partner and nearly 6 year old daughter. She enjoyed it and loved the entertainment. Food provided was ok and the drinks were reasonably priced although not the cheapest.
I wouldn't call it a cruise too much though. Cruised for about an hour or less along the coast and then sat at anchor for the rest of the time before going back the same way for an hour or less. Not enough seats for everyone. we had to have padded mats at the front of the boat in pretty much full sun.
Overall it was ok. kids enjoyed it. the also do a hotel transfer.
