Do this because

You'll cruise the Mediterranean Sea in a replica pirate galley to bring out your inner swashbuckler
As you set sail along the Tunisian coast, soak up the palm-lined beaches and historic fortresses
There are pirate themed games and activities, plus swim stops to keep all the family entertained

What to expect

Many are the places that trade on their pirate past, but few can actually match Tunisia's authentic heritage in this department. Now you can immerse yourself in this swashbuckling world with a family-friendly day at sea on board a replica pirate galley.Your adventure begins the moment we sail from Hammamet Harbour into the Mediterranean, just as the Barbary pirates did for centuries. But while they struck fear into European coastal communities as far afield as Iceland, we'll be going out to have wholehearted fun, and lots of it. There's music and pirate shows as the kids channel their inner Captain Hook on this replica Barbary pirate galley.There'll be plenty of time to top up your tan in the sun too, as you sail along the Tunisian coastline. You'll see sweeping golden beaches, pretty fishing villages and you might even pick out the fortress walls of the historic Medina before you head out into the Med. It's an exciting morning for the whole family, as you sail the high seas on this pirate adventure and stop for a dip in the deep blue.

The trip was very good, the staff were brilliant, the entertainment was excellent , we were told we didn’t need to take cash ,they came round and dressed the kids in bandanas which were about£2.50 each and took pictures about each £2.50 cash ,also you had to buy drinks but they didn’t take cards and the whole trip was brilliant and Because the experience was so good it would have been nice to tip them ,so I would say take some cash

The entertainment onboard was pleasant. The ride was very choppy, tipsy and turvey. A lot of people were sea sick for the first time because of the bumpy ride. The swimming vests were unsafe and unreliable, with broken clips. And no snorkels were provided, as promised. Overall, a trip to forget!

The ship was so old and this was very visible to see some as you get on. The safety was a bit shocking as people was handling on the sails and hanging on the side of the ship, and they wasn’t to bothered. The staff was friendly and the food was ok. There was just so many people on the ship at once we couldn’t see any of the entertainment that they did. It was just packed. Glad it wasn’t all day the 3 and a bit hour was enough

Gebucht war das "Erlebnis" mit Abholung am Hotel, 15min nach der vereinbarten Zeit haben wir dann ein Taxi genommen um das Schiff nicht zu verpassen. Dann gab es Diskussionen über das online Ticket, wir sollten noch einmal bezahlen, was wir natürlich nicht taten, immerhin hatten wir bereits 95€ für 4 Pers. gezahlt. Die "Show" an Bord war für uns als Familie eine Katastrophe, Partymusik in einer unerträglichen Lautstärke + eine zusätzliche Verkaufstour von Fotos + "Souvenirs". Einfach schrecklich

The boat was overly busy. Ridiculous amounts of people and staff don't interact much at all with the passengers. Put on a show with knifes in eyes and neck. Then trying to get donations. Food was awful, would not recommend

Zu viel Getanze und recht laute Partymusik. Es hat mir dann nicht gefallen. Das Schwimmen im Meer wo man vom Schiff springen konnte, kann ich nicht empfehlen, da hier sehr viele Quallen im Wasser waren.

Good humoured staff on the ship; the ship was beautiful. We were first to be picked up so had to endure a number of other pickups meaning it took well over an hour to get to the boat. The return journey was much quicker with only 1 drop off before ours.

Too many people on the boat, it was difficult to move around. It was also difficult and unsafe getting back on the boat after swimming in the sea, this was due to too many people only one set of ladders.

Iets te commerciële 'discoboot' waarop men op verschillende manieren zoveel mogelijk geld uit je portemonnee proberen te halen. Naast entertainment door dansende, in de mast klimmende en op spijkerbed liggende "piraten" is er niet zoveel te doen. Even op volle zee zwemmen werd door ons als gevaarlijk ervaren. Te veel mensen moeten via een steile trap en nauwe opening terug op de boot. Diverse mensen werden in het gedrang geduwd, getrapt, etc.

The experience was great. What was not great was the fact that the pirates on the boat basically accosted you for cash at the end of the experience. They can around in a group of throes and pressurised you into giving them cash for their role in the experience. There is no doubt they are brilliant at what they do but this should be included in what you already pay for and they should not be ally to collect more money

Je ne recommande pas aucun intérêt .on danse en quittant le port pour faire beaucoup de bruit .une vente de foulard interminable .un spectacle de fakir qui dure 3 min .danse des pirates qui dure également 3 min .retour au port avec musique à fond pour faire croire à une ambiance de folie.très déçu

After a 5 minute coach trip from the hotel to the marina, we were left stood outside in 30 degree heat, with no shade for 45 minutes. Once on the boat it was a mad rush but we eventually found some space on the lower deck. Although the paint from the seats was peeling off and sticking to our skin, there were also numerous screw heads heavily protruding that ripped my sons swim shorts. Once we stopped to swim it was total chaos with adults pushing children out the way! Would not recommend

Staff were fun. Toilets were discusting no toilet paper at any time. and boat was so overcrowded no where for a lot of people to sit. Once in sea boat was soaking wet - normally boats u dry before you use stairs so was dangerous Food was ok but friends knife and fork was really dirty

Ich hatte es mir etwas authentischer vorgestellt. Die Piraten trugen Jeans und Turnschuhe und die Vorführungen waren bis auf die Fakirshow nur Tänze. Dachte die Kinder werden etwas mehr ins Geschehen eingebunden

The actual boat was great and I enjoyed the experience of being on the boat. What I didn’t enjoy was being on edge incase I was going to get pulled up and slapped hard on my bum with someone’s slider by the pirates, not what I call entertainment. Also music was way to loud, my daughter wanted to sit on lower deck as too loud, young kids were crying too. Also putting bandanas on your head when you don’t want too, then trying to charge you. Drinks are not free either.

Fantastic time, I do suggest that you take some Vic's to put up your nose as the smell from the toilets made a few people feel sick, but that depends on which part of the ship you sit at.

The pirates were all very jolly and entertaining. We would have preferred to know more about timings, our transfer to the pirate ship seemed to take a long time and when we arrived we also had to wait. There were additional costs, quite a lot of upselling - pirate bandanas and photos - maybe could be included. The swim in the sea was quite dangerous crowded with adults and children mixed all piling in together, not very organised. Adult male guests were not allowing children to get out first.

Firstly, it isn't disability friendly at all (I had 2 autistic children with me) the music is very loud, it was too much for the children with autism, but my other ones too. My son with ASD had struggled with the noise, one of the 'pirates' pulled him off my knee and carried me on stage. I had my dress pulled up and bottom smacked in front of everyone. I was then told do dance like Shakira, despite not wearing a veil I'm religious and it was upsetting for me and the kids.
