Pirate Boat Adventure from Sorgun

Your pickup from Sorgun

Hotels in the pine belt are collected late, which is a small luxury: an unhurried breakfast and a short drive. You are met at your entrance and returned there in the afternoon or evening. Because the route is built around the day's bookings, the exact time is confirmed the evening before rather than fixed in advance.

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

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

What Sorgun is like

Sorgun is the forest side of the coast — a belt of coastal pine between the lake at Titreyengöl and the sea, with walking and cycling paths through it and the Çamiçi public beach where the trees run down to the sand. The old town is three or four kilometres away, five to seven minutes by road, so the hotels here trade the ruins for shade.

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 Sorgun?

Late in the round. This is the last stretch of coast before the river, so these hotels are among the final collections and the drive afterwards is short. We confirm the exact time the day before, and you are dropped back at the same entrance in the afternoon or evening.

Where do the boats depart from?

Closer than you might expect. The river piers sit on this side of the water, and the coastal boats leave from the old-town harbour three or four kilometres away — so whichever trip you book, the transfer is a short one. Your confirmation names the exact point.

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.
