    There was no point having a glass bottom boat as there was nothing to see the whole trip, most on board also spent the majority of time on the boat and not in the sea is it was too choppy and windy. We feel it was a waste of money and quite frankly boring. Defo would not recommend.

    This trip was fab! Easy transfer to the boat, both staff kept it entertaining with jokes and abba music! There wasn’t very many fish along the journey but one of the stops there was loads & the bubbles were interesting too! The sea was warm and we felt safe the entire time, would highly recommend! The half day trip was good too, just enough time to enjoy the trip, didn’t feel rushed or too slow. There were snacks/drinks available if you wanted to buy them. A good day!

There'll be lots of fun activities for everyone to join in with. Our lively pirates will ensure everyone gets into character with a free bandana, face painting and lots of exciting pirate-themed games. You'll learn all the swashbuckling techniques you need, from sword fighting to map reading. And don't forget, a sharp-eyed pirate is always on the lookout for clues, so stay alert for hints that lead to the hidden treasure.When we drop anchor at Pserimos, feel the cool sea breeze as you splash into the water for a swim, or join in more of the playful games and activities we have planned. With the sun shining, laughter ringing, and pirate flags waving, it's sure to be an adventure you and your family will treasure forever.
