Pirate Boat Adventure from Kumköy

Your pickup from Kumköy

This is one of the last stops before the boats leave, so breakfast can be a proper one. You are collected at your hotel and returned to the same door in the afternoon or evening. The exact minute still depends on which hotels are booked that day, so we confirm it with you the evening before.

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

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

What Kumköy is like

Kumköy runs along the beach about five kilometres west of the old town — near enough for an evening among the ruins, far enough to keep a quieter stretch of sand to itself. It is the practical choice for guests who want the harbour and the Temple of Apollo within reach without staying on the peninsula, and it is why pickup here is the easy end of the morning.

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 Kumköy?

Late in the round. Kumköy is only about five kilometres from the centre, so it is one of the last hotels called before departure and nobody is up at dawn for it. The time still moves with the route, so we confirm it the day before and return you in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

The old-town harbour for coastal trips, a pier on the lower Manavgat river for river cruises. From Kumköy both are a few minutes away, and the included transfer takes you to the one your confirmation names, so you never have to work out which pier is which.

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.
