The tour was very nice and the crew spread a good mood! :) After the first swim stop there was something to eat+1 drink. Later there was another piece of melon. At the beginning of the tour, photos were taken with the pirates, which could have been bought later for €15. It would have been nice if that was still in the description, because unfortunately we didn't have enough money with us and couldn't buy the photos. :-( The tour was "only" 4 hours and not 5 hours as described. All in all a very nice experience. It's worth it!

My boyfriend and I (27 and 23) loved it. The ride was a lot of fun. Great music and great crew! We stopped twice to swim in the sea. Food on board was delicious, for vegetarians there was an alternative to meat. Can only recommend the tour.

This experience was fabulous! We had the best day and so much fun!! The crew were amazing! Hardworking and friendly playing with the kids and adults and generally entertaining everyone. The music was brilliant and captain was really funny, drinks well priced and a decent lunch with a drink included. Two stops for swimming, pool noodle ‘sword’ fights, face painting and the kids got to drive the ship. We saw some lovely sights along the coast and fed the fish. I cannot recommend this trip enough for only about £40 we loved it!
