• Disgusted and no service

  Unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience, I was given a location of the boat on Google Maps, boat wasn't there but round the other side of the marina instead. Unlimited soft drinks - they have listed name brands such as sprite and Fanta but there is no such thing and they are cheap knock off versions which were in Turkish and therefore was unable to drink due to not being able to understand ingredients for my allergies, this was the same with the food on board, the staff weren't able to help or provide me with any allergen information. There was no customer service or interaction from any of the staff at all during the whole cruise. Nothing whatsoever!! Tour says it ends around 3pm, it actually ended at 1.30 so a hour and a half before the expected time. At the final swimming point the staff on-board were struggling to stop the boat from excessive rocking, it was noticed that we were the only boat excessively rocking whilst the other next to us wasn't which made other passengers seasick. The foam party on the top deck resulted in water leaking down the side of the boat and entering into the bottom deck which ended up getting my clothes all wet due to the negligence. Toilets could be smelt from quite a distance, were not kept clean or well maintained at all and disgusting. Boat does not sound like it is in a fit state and based on the noises I kept hearing sounds like it would fall apart at anytime.

• Fabulous boat trip. Foam party fun.

  Nice, but not much more than that. It wasn’t a huge experience, but we got to see some rocks and Alanya from the outside. Unfortunately we think there were too many stops along the way for swimming, and that the first stop had been enough. I will probably be able to take the trip again, but only with a little takeover.

• No pirates on a pirate's boat

  The boat trip was ok, but I was expecting at least one pirate on a "Pirate ship" but there was none, so my son was very disappointed. The food was not good, we only could eat the chicken, the rest was tasteless. It was an ok boat trip, whiteout the pirate.

• Must do experience...

  I well recommend a pirate boat trip. It is well organized, amazing views, good vibe and fantactic experience. You have many opportunity to swim or even jump from the boat.

• A meeting with friends ruined by Viator! Испорченная встреча с друзьями по вине компании Viator!

  ENGLISH We were supposed to meet our friends on this pirate ship, whom we hadn't seen for 7 years. We planned to meet on the ship and spend 6-7 hours together, as promised in the advertisement. We bought tickets with transfer from 2 different hotels and destinations (Mahmutlar and Turkuler) on the same website for 1 ship specifically to be together. Then we contacted the agent on WhatsApp, who assured us that we would 100% be together on 1 ship. There were about 20 such ships on the pier. As a result, we found ourselves on 2 different ships. The whole day was ruined. We contacted the agent again, who apologized and said that usually everyone is put on the same ship, but this time they got something mixed up. As a kind gesture, he said that after the ship we could meet at a restaurant on the pier, not far from the pier. The restaurant is called Harbour Kitchen & Bar Restaurant and he sent us the location of this place. At the same time, he specified that we would pay for ourselves, and he would provide us with a free transfer back from the restaurant to our hotels and book a table for us. As a result = lost 6-7 hours on separate ships, instead of spending this time together with friends. And only 2 hours spent together in a lousy restaurant. The restaurant has terribly expensive prices, because it is located right in the harbor in the center where the Red Tower is. For 7 people (3 adults and 4 children) we paid 5500, - Turkish lira. We did not like the service, the portions are small. There is nothing special in this restaurant, just showing off. Okay, after all, we asked for our free transfer and the restaurant manager said that the car would arrive in Turkuler in 15 minutes. And in Mahmutlar, sorry, we have to wait 1.5 hours because there are traffic jams on the roads now (17:30). What???!!! Wait 1.5 hours for a free transfer? Definitely not! They threatened to write to Viator, then he immediately said ok, wait. I called somewhere again and the car arrived in 15 minutes. In general, our planned day with friends in Alanya on a pirate ship did not work out due to the fault of this company. Instead, we spent only 2 hours together in some "cool" expensive restaurant, tired after the ship. Now about the trip itself. Our ship was called GULBAHCE. Start at 10:00. The ship is old. 3 decks. The party is on the 2nd deck, a soap disco, DJ, translators and so on. You can smoke on the 2nd and 3rd decks. Food on the 1st and 2nd decks only once, at about 12:00. They give you a ready-made plate with grilled chicken, salad and pasta. There is no buffet. There were a lot of people, a lot of noise. We stopped on the 3rd deck, chose a table with a view of Alanya. The boat stopped about 5 times probably. The guides spoke Turkish, English, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Moldovan and other languages, I think Slovenian or Serbian. When the stops were, they didn't say that you can swim, but we saw it ourselves and went to the 1st deck and swam. There are life jackets and crew members, they seem to be watching so that no one gets lost, drowns, etc. While you swim, the guides (several people) chat in many languages about all sorts of things, but give little information, because in many languages. The children liked the disco with foam for about 1 hour. But again there was a lot of noise and a lot of people. And the music itself was aggressive, songs like p#ssy b#tch or something like that are not at all for children's ears! The trip ended at about 15:00. Yes, at the very beginning a guy with a parrot came, like Jack Sparrow, he came up, sat down and took pictures with people, children. Then he disappeared, probably moved to another ship. An hour later people started coming up with ready-made photos in frames or plates with photos of our children and offered to buy them. Photo in a frame $15, plate $20. That's the kind of business they have there. Our friends were less lucky, I don't know what their ship was called. They said it was small, old. The foam disco was fast and there was little foam. They didn't like it at all. RUSSIAN НА РУССКОМ Мы должны были на этом пиратском корабле встретиться с нашими друзьями, которых не видели 7 лет. Запланировали встретиться на корабле и провести вместе 6-7 часов как обещают в рекламе. Выкупили билеты с трансфером с 2 разных отелей и направлений (Махмутлар и Туркулер) на одном и том же сайте на 1 корабль специально чтоб быть вместе. Потом связались по WhatsApp с агентом, который уверил нас, что мы 100% будем вместе на 1 корабле. Таких кораблей на причале было штук 20. В итоге, мы оказались на 2 разных кораблях. Весь день был испорчен. Связались опять с агентом, который извинился и сказал, что обычно всех садят на один корабль, но в этот раз что-то там они перепутали. В качестве доброго жеста сказал, что мы можем после корабля встретиться в ресторане на пирсе, недалеко от причала. Ресторан называется Harbour Kitchen & Bar Restaurant и он скинул нам локацию этого места. При этом уточнил, что платить мы будем за себя сами, а он предоставит нам бесплатный трансфер обратно с ресторана до наших отелей и забронирует нам столик. В итоге = потерянные 6-7 часов на отдельных кораблях, вместо того чтобы провести это время вместе с друзьями. И всего 2 часа проведенных вместе в паршивом ресторане. В ресторане ужасно дорогие цены, потому что он расположен прям в гавани в центре где Красная Башня. За 7 человек (3 взрослых и 4 детей) мы заплатили 5500,- турецких лир. Обслуживание нам не понравилось, порции маленькие. Ничего особенно в этом ресторане нет, просто понты. Ладно, после всего, попросили наш бесплатный трансфер и менеджер ресторана сказал, что в Туркулер машина придёт через 15 минут. А в Махмутлар, извините, надо подождать 1,5 часа потому что сейчас пробки на дорогах (17:30). Что???!!! Ждать бесплатный трансфер 1,5 часа? Ну уж точно нет! Пригрозили написать в Viator, тогда сразу сказал ок, подождите. Позвонил куда-то опять и машина приехала тоже через 15 минут. В общем, наш запланированный день с друзьями в Алании на пиратском корабле не удался по вине этой компании. Вместо этого провели вместе всего 2 часа в каком-то "крутом" дорогом ресторане, уставшие после корабля. Теперь о самой поездке. Корабль наш назывался GULBAHCE. Начало в 10:00. Корабль старый. 3 палубы. На 2 палубе самая тусовка проходит, мыльная дискотека, диджей, переводчики и так далее. На 2 и 3 палубе можно курить. Еда на 1 и 2 палубе только 1 раз, примерно в 12:00. Дают уже готовую тарелку с курицей гриль, салатом и макаронами. Шведского стола нет. Было очень много народу, много шума. Мы остановились на 3 палубе, выбрали столик с видом на Аланию. Лодка останавливалась раз 5 наверное. Гиды болтали на турецком, английском, русском, украинском, румынском, молдавском и ещё других языках, кажется, на словенском или сербском. Когда остановки, они не сказали, что можно купаться, но мы это увидели сами и пошли на 1 палубу и купались. Там есть спасательные жилеты и члены команды, вроде следят, чтоб никто не потерялся, не утонул и так далее. Пока купаются, гиды (несколько человек) болтают на многих языках про всякое разное, но выдают мало информации, потомучто на многих языках. Детям понравилась дискотека с пеной примерно 1 час. Но опять же было много шума и много народу. И сама музыка была агрессивной, песни типа p#ssy b#tch что-то в этом роде совсем не для детских ушей! Закончилось путешествие примерно в 15.00. Да, ещё в самом начале пришёл чувак с попугаем, типа Джек-Воробей подходил, садился фотался с людьми, детьми. Потом пропал, наверное, перешёл на другой корабль. Через час начали подходить люди с готовыми фото в рамках или тарелками с фотографиями наших детей и предлагали их купить. Фото в рамке 15$, тарелка 20$. Такой вот бизнес там. Нашим друзьям повезло меньше, не знаю, как назывался их корабль. Сказали, что он был маленький, старый. Пенная дискотека была быстрой и мало пены. Им не понравилось совсем.
