For the youngest crew
Little Pirates: a Pirate Ship Trip for Young Children in Side
The gentler of the two pirate days: the children are handed costumes and sent after hidden loot, the ship follows the coast, everyone swims, and lunch is served on board.
In short
Little Pirates is a family pirate cruise for the youngest crew. A child from 2 to 10 pays €14, an adult €20, and under 2 is free. Hotel pickup, lunch, the costumes and the treasure hunt are in the fare; extra drinks are not. The day takes about 6 hours, from the morning to the afternoon, and parents stay with their children throughout.

The day
How the Little Pirates day runs
Eight moments from the morning pickup to the afternoon drop-off, in the order the crew plans them.
-
Pickup at your hotel
An air-conditioned vehicle comes for you at the hotel; your time arrives a day ahead by phone or WhatsApp.
-
Aboard at the harbour
A short hop to the harbour, where a decorated pirate ship and a crew dressed as pirates are waiting.
-
Costumes on
Each child is handed a pirate costume. Bring your own if you have one — you are welcome to.
-
Games and the treasure hunt
Stories of the high seas, games, and a treasure hunt that sends the young crew after clues and hidden loot around the deck.
-
Along the coast
The ship cruises along the coastline — the moment for the pirate photos.
-
A swim stop
The ship stops in clear Mediterranean water for a swim. Parents stay with their children in the water.
-

What makes it different from the big pirate day
The big pirate-ship day goes down the river to the delta and ends in a foam party with a live show along the way. Little Pirates keeps to the coast and builds the day around dressing up and searching: the costume goes on as soon as a child is aboard, and the treasure hunt runs between the games and the stories.
It also costs less for a child: €14 against €23. If your children are at the age where a costume and a map are the whole adventure, this is the day to pick. If they want music, foam and a show, the pirate-ship day is the louder choice. Our side-by-side lays out both.
What the children do
- Put on the pirate costume the crew hands them — or the one they brought from home.
- Listen to stories of the high seas from a crew dressed as pirates.
- Play the deck games, then follow the clues of the treasure hunt to the hidden loot.
- Swim with you at the stop in clear Mediterranean water.
- Pose for the pirate photos while the ship follows the coastline — bring a phone or a camera.
What the grown-ups should know
You stay with your children for the whole day; the crew runs the games, not the childcare. The fare covers the transfer, the lunch, the costumes, the games and the cruise. Keep a little cash in euros for what the fare leaves out: extra drinks, tips and anything you buy for yourself.
This page prints no pickup clock time, since each hotel has its own; yours reaches you a day ahead by phone or WhatsApp.
