Must do experience in Corfu! - The ultimate must do experience for a trip to Corfu! The perfect balance of informative, fun, relaxing and silly, this was the best activity we did on our family holiday to Corfu. Our family is a little nervous of boats and it was my 2 year old's first ever time on one, but we felt safe and relaxed. The boat is magnificent, fulfilling anyone's pirate fantasies. The fact that you could even help yourself to chests of pirate hats and toy weapon just added to the fun. The journey was very smooth and incredibly scenic. There's the perfect mix of Pirates of the Caribbean music, stereotypical Greek music (think Mama Mia vibes) and a narrative telling you about the history and quirky facts of the island. We even stopped around the bay and watched a plane land perilously low over our heads! The staff were super friendly but also very laid back. There was no pressure to buy drinks or snacks (we did buy a couple of beers) and no annoying holding out the hat at the end, as I'm used to being mithered for tips on this kind of excursion, which was refreshing. The captain even let our toddler sit in his actual control room seat for a photo! (there's a pretend steering wheel which kids can play with too) Would highly recommend the tour for young families, but also for solo travellers or couples. At 13 euros each and free for the little one, it was very affordable too!

A Good Day for the Pirate Ship! - An excellent trip! Welcoming crew. Good commentary- it was in English. The 4o’clock cruise on a fine day was very enjoyable with good views round the coast.

Pirate adventure - Very good, informative friendly great fun for kids, and grown-ups dressing as pirates, drinks and snacks were on sale. Overall the kids really enjoyed the ride and also steering the ship. The Ship itself was very well decked out and certainly looked the part.

Great experience - Brilliant experience and decent price. My 4 year old loves pirates so he was in his absolute element! He even got to "steer" the ship. They provide dress up which none of the children in our group took off for the entire trip. You go up the coast and they provide information about sites and then play music on the way back. There are also drinks (alcohol, pop, slushies) & snacks (crisps, ice creams) to buy on board.
