Pirate Boat Adventure from Evrenseki

Your pickup from Evrenseki

Collection here falls in the middle of the morning round, after the resorts further west and before the ones closest to the centre. You wait at your own hotel entrance and you are returned to it in the afternoon or evening. Where your hotel sits on the route decides the exact minute, which is why the time is confirmed the day before rather than promised at booking.

Meeting point is usually your hotel's main entrance or security gate.

Your exact pickup time is confirmed the day before the tour.

What Evrenseki is like

Evrenseki is the quiet family strip west of the centre: hotels, a wide beach, and eight to ten minutes of road between you and the old town. It suits parents who would rather the day were organised for them — the boat is the outing, the included transfer is the part nobody has to think about, and the drive back is over before anyone starts complaining.

About the Pirate Boat Adventure

The Side Pirate Boat trip is a full-day family cruise on a multi-deck wooden galleon that sails from the Manavgat River. With a costumed pirate crew, a treasure hunt on the beach and a swimming stop in safe shallow water, the day is built around children — while shaded lower decks keep parents comfortable.

Tour programme

08:30–09:30 — pickup from your hotel (transfer included in the price).
10:00 — the wooden galleon departs from the Manavgat River; choose a shaded lower deck or the open upper deck.
Live music, games and a costumed animation team keep the entertainment going throughout the day.
Anchor stop in the river delta: pirate shows, a treasure hunt on the beach, tug-of-war and free face painting for every child.
Swimming at the same shallow spot in both fresh river water and the warm sea — safe for kids; life jackets are mandatory for children and adult supervision is required.
Fresh lunch served on board, with a child-friendly menu.
Foam party on deck.
Return in the afternoon and transfer back to your hotel — about 7 hours in total.

Please note: all drinks, including water, tea and fruit juice, are sold separately at the on-board bar, so bring some cash. Sea insurance and life jackets for all ages are included; the activities are designed for children aged 3 and up, and kids aged 0–2 travel free.

Your booking is confirmed instantly and you pay on the boat on the day of the tour. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours in advance.

Frequently asked

What time is hotel pickup from Evrenseki?

Mid-morning. The strip lies about six kilometres from the centre, so it is neither the first nor the last stop of the round. Pickup follows a route that changes with the day's bookings, so your exact time is confirmed the day before, and the return is in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

Either the old-town harbour or a pier on the lower Manavgat river, depending on the trip you book. Evrenseki is eight to ten minutes west of the old town, so both are a short drive, and the included pickup takes you to whichever one your confirmation names.

Do I pay in advance?

No. Booking is confirmed instantly and you pay on the boat on the day, in cash or by card. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

What time does the pirate boat tour start?

Hotel pickup is between 08:30 and 09:30, and the galleon departs from the Manavgat River at 10:00.

How long does the tour last?

Around 7 hours in total; you return to your hotel in the afternoon.
