You'll set sail on a pirate-themed cruise that's suitable for the whole family
The outing includes a stop for a swim at St George's Bay
A barbecue lunch is served onboard the ship and it has loads of options for fussy eaters
The crew host themed games for little ones, as well as challenges and puzzles for bigger pirates
Every little sailor gets a kids-sized bandana to wear and they get a pirate certificate at the end
What to expect
Pirate Tim and Calypso the Parrot need all hands on deck to help track down their long-lost treasure. But first, you'll have to be fully trained in all the skills you need to become a TUI pirate. Setting sail from Chersonissos Port, our shipmates will make sure you get into the pirate spirit, with face painting and exciting themed games for the little scallywags, and challenges for the older crew members. Plus, there's a treasure map and clues to follow, so make sure you have your sharpest seafaring instincts at the ready.Then, to take a break from all the swashbuckling fun, you'll drop anchor at St. George's Bay for a dip here – this quiet spot is ideal for relaxing and soaking up the views of the rocky cliffs and surrounding greenery. From here, you'll hop back on board for a Greek barbecue to refuel before another stop in Malia.

Sehr nettes Personal, von den TUI Mitarbeitern bis zur Pirates Crew, Von der Zeit her war das passend. Nudeln waren lecker, das Fleisch recht trocken. Wichtig, auf keinen Fall Barfuß über den Schiffsboden gehen, akute Verbrennungsgefahr. Nur ein Ausstieg zum Baden zu wenig. Der letzte war noch nicht drin, da wollten die ersten wieder raus. Wir würden es dennoch wieder buchen.

Je vaart met de bootje even uit de baai (heel kort) en dan heb je de eerste stopplek al. Daar kan je in de zee zwemmen. Door de sterke wind zijn we niet doorgevaren naar de tweede stopplek. Dus de hele tijd stil gelegen. De animatie dewelke zo veel belovend was, was toch eerder een flop. Kinderen kregen een tekening om in te kleuren. Dan werd er een spelletje gespeeld maar de animatoren waren ter plaatse iets aan het uitvinden dus trok op niets. Oncomfortabele zitplaatsen. Geld niet waard

man hat nichts von der Küste Kretas gesehen, denn das Boot lag die gesamte Zeit in der ersten Badebucht fest. Das wurde schnell langweilig, da Animation nur die letzten 30Minuten statt fand.Die Gäste wurden nur mit viel zu lauter Musik beschallt. Das Essen war sehr lecker, aber letztlich wurde für den Preis viel zu wenig geboten

Good atmosphere on the boat with music and games. Boat itself was impressive for our son and he loved feeding the fish in particular. Things to improve: - Our coach journey was 2 hours each way - parents should be informed of the coach time as we had a 3 year old and this was too long for him. - No toilet on the coach, this should be explained also as we could have brought a potty - more explanation of what the itinerary was and where we were going & how long on boat - only one ladder for swim

The food for lunch was nice… Upon arrival our coach left us a walk away from the boat with no instructions on where to go. Laborious entry process in hot sun, company collected passport details of all guests or made them up if we didn’t have ID. Music was unbelievably loud and glitchy. Staff smoked a lot so was difficult to escape smoke. Unsafe ‘life jackets’ provided for sea swimming with just one ladder for entry and exit to sea. Not enough activities to keep children entertained.

Toller Ausflug für Familien mit Kindern. So ist für alle was dabei. Schade war, dass es wenig Schatten-Plätze auf dem Schiff gab und die Schatzsuche für die Kinder war zwar toll, aber durch den Wellengang auch ziemlich gefährlich, da sich die Kids kaum wo festhalten konnten.

Really enjoyed the experience the kids said it was so much fun. Food was not good and the app should advise you to take your passport numbers as is a requirement when boarding.

Uns wurde die Reise auf dem Piratenschiff von unserer Reiseleitung vor Ort empfohlen, da wir ein 3 jähriges Kind dabei hatten. Leider war die Tour ein Reinfall. Außer Kinderschminken war für unser Kind nichts dabei. Nach 1h Fahrt hielt das Boot für 1,5h an einer Bucht an der man vom Boot ins Meer springen konnte. Für eine 3jährige nicht machbar Langeweile herrschte für alle Kinder. Das Essen war OK. Dann gab es einen weiteren Stop für 1h. 3 kurze Spiele für große Kinder und das wars. Nie wieder

Lustige und kinderfreundliche Animation, ganz toll für Kinder gestaltet! Auch die Zeiten zum Baden waren super gestaltet. Das Essen war ok. Es wäre super gewesen, wenn Erwachsene auch eine fleischlose Variante wählen können. Alles in allem ein toller Ausflug, unbedingt dabei sein!

The pirate staff were friendly, but unfortunately the TUI reps weren’t as interactive as you’d expect. It seemed badly organised/rehearsed and forced. “Fat Cat” was lovely, but the rest of the staff weren’t engaged. The pirate team (Captain etc) were great, very funny. The description of the experience on the Tui app was inaccurate and left us disappointed. The description said we would get an opportunity to ‘stop in malia and investigate the area’ but all that meant was another swim stop.

Der Buschauffeur sagte bei der Ankunft, dass wir bei der Rückfahrt sehr pünktlich sein müssten, da er nur 2 Minuten warten würde. Die Beladung des Schiffes dauerte extrem lange und viele Kinder verloren die Geduld. Es gab pro Person nur 1 Becher Wasser gratis und nicht wie auf dem Voucher angegeben 1 Flasche Wasser und 1 Softgetränk. Das Essen war kalt und das Fleisch war extrem trocken. Die Crew warf alle Essensabfälle ins Meer, usw. Wir waren froh als wir wieder zurück waren.

Der Ausflug war leider ein Reinfall. Unsere Kinder (3 und 5 Jahre) waren sehr gelangweilt, weil bis auf die 4 stündige Schifffahrt zu wenig geboten war. Die angekündigten Badestops waren für uns uninteressant, weil man von einer Leiter ins Wasser hüpfen musste und nicht an Land angelegt wurde. Das Essen war für uns Erwachsene leider ungenießbar. Die Kinds waren mit dem Kinderessen "Spaghetti" zufrieden. Wir zahlten im Endeffekt zu viert 200€ für eine 4-stündige Schifffahrt mit schlechtem Essen.

Das Boot war sehr schön, die Crew freundlich. Das Kinderprogramm war enttäuschend, die Badestopps für Kinder nicht geeignet. Das Essen könnte besser sein.

Zeer fijne ervaring om dit de 1ste keer te kunnen meemaken. De personen van tui hadden hun ook verkleed als piraten waardoor dit toch nog een extra goede sfeer gaf op het schip. De Crew van het schip zelf waren ook zeer vriendelijk.
