Living My Best Pirate Life - Fantastic experience from start to finish. Staff were amazing with everyone especially the kids. BBQ on board was good decent portions for both kids and adults. Swim stops gave a good amount of time to spend splashing around. Life vests for kids but not adults. Pool noodles and snorkels are also available free for use. A nice fun chilled party atmosphere on board and crewe were engaging with everyone. Mix of families and couples everyone everyone was friendly. Would highly recommend as something to do if you have the chance.

Will do it again - Lovely boat trip. Staff helpful. Lunch was good catering for so many people. Enjoyed the 2 stops to swim in the sea. Take a camera for the fish swimming around the boat.

Greece vacation - The trip was very nice. The crew was very entertaining and extremely friendly with everyone on the boat. I highly recommend it if you don't want to be on a boat for a long time. It lasted 4 hours, and it was perfect! Thank you, Black Rose Team 😊

avast there ye landlubbers - We have travelled on the Black Rose many times both simply with my partner and a number of times with friends, this trip we took a close friend who had never even been out of the UK before, he loved the atmosphere on the ship, the food and a swim to the cave, it was a little dissapointing that we were not able to leave the cove and travel further up the coast which the Crew said was due to the Weather. but overall still a fantastic adventure, we noticed that a lot of the crew have changed this year and that they have more than one ship now so obviously still very popular. Our friend is returning to Crete next year but with his Niece this time and says that a trip on the Black Pearl will be a must for them both.

Worth the money - Fantastic trip, staff are great and food was delicious. Be careful when getting up the ladders from thhe sea as there share bits on them and rusty, cut my wife's leg and looks as if its scaring.

Experience - Departure from Herssonissos instead of Heraklion 4 hour walk and not 5 hour walk Be careful, pick up from the hotel for us Dolphin Bay Amoudara/Hersonissos = 2 hours and yes there are people to pick up on the way and some are not on time we see the landscape and what's more we are on vacation it's just for information. walk, swimming, music throughout, no comments on the different passages along the coasts however great atmosphere from the crew who tries to set the mood. Another thing it was not the same boat as on the ad so much the better it was prettier and places in the shade.
