Pirate Ship Treasure Hunt in Side: Costumes and Hidden Loot
Little Pirates is built on two simple things children take very seriously: becoming a pirate, and finding treasure. Here is how the day delivers both.
In short
On Little Pirates the crew gives every child a pirate costume once aboard — their own is welcome too — the crew is dressed as pirates, and the day turns on stories, deck games and a treasure hunt that sends the children after clues and hidden loot around the deck. Parents stay with their children throughout. A child from 2 to 10 pays €14, an adult €20.
The costume
As soon as the children are aboard, the crew hands each one a pirate costume. It is in the fare, so there is nothing to buy or rent. A child who already owns a costume is welcome to wear it instead; some children feel more like themselves in their own hat.
The crew are in pirate dress too, which is half the magic: the children are not watching a performance, they are joining a crew.
Stories, games and the hunt
Between the games, the crew tells stories of the high seas. Then the treasure hunt begins: the children follow clues around the deck toward hidden loot. It is the heart of the day rather than one game among many.
You are with your child the whole time, which makes you the natural partner for a small hunter. A four-year-old may need a hand to the next clue; an eight-year-old may want you nowhere near it. Follow their lead.
The record describes the hunt as clues and hidden loot on deck. We do not promise more than that — the fun is in the finding.
Between the games: the coast and a swim
Little Pirates follows the coastline, with photo moments along the way — the record itself advises bringing a camera or phone for the pirate pictures. The ship stops so everyone can swim in clear Mediterranean water, and lunch with children's favourites is served on board. Swimming with children has its own guide.
What parents do meanwhile
You stay with your children throughout — that is the operator's rule for this day, and it is why the hunt works so well for small children. You can be the clue-reader, the lookout or simply the person who carries the loot. A parent who wants a few quiet minutes can watch from nearby while the crew keeps the game moving, but nobody hands their children over.
Bring a phone for the pirate photos and a little cash in euros: extra drinks, personal expenses and tips are not in the fare. Everything else the children need for the hunt is handed to them on board.
The treasure map on the big day
The pirate-ship day has treasure too: a secret treasure map is one of the animation team's games, next to face painting, tug-of-war, a live show and the hunt for the pirate Ferhat. There the hunt is one act in a louder programme; on Little Pirates it is the plot. The show guide covers the big day's games, and the comparison sets both days side by side.
If costumes and clues sound like your child, see the Little Pirates day or go straight to booking. Very young pirates have their own page: with babies and toddlers.
