Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos
Overview
Available languages
6 hours
Mobile ticket
As family days out go, it doesn't get more rip-roaring than Jolly Roger pirate cruise. Adventurers young and old will have a barrel of laughs sailing the high seas between Paphos harbour to Ricco's Bay. There'll be plenty of activities to join in on, including limbo dancing and snorkelling as well as pirate favourites like face painting and walking the plank.
The buccaneering spirit is evident from the moment you set foot on the Jolly Roger – the kids can get their faces painted with obligatory eye patches and scars included. Then it's time to go plunder the seas. There'll be swim stops and plenty of activities. At Ricco's Bay, you can go snorkelling or try limbo dancing and – if you're brave enough – walk the plank.
After all those exertions, it'll be time to gorge on a buccaneer's buffet lunch. And then, to cap off your adventure, the crew will put on a swashbuckling performance. A great day out for the whole family – with lots of activities to keep the kids busy.

5.00Grandchildren had a great time on this trip, they loved it. Pirates and acrobats were great. Adults loved it as well, grandson walked the plank and loved the sea, staff make sure everyone is safe. Life jackets provided.
Mediocre at best

2.00Not worth the money. Unless you are able to get a seat upstairs you miss out on all the activities and shows. Very little happens on the lower deck except the food. Too many people on board. You are constantly moving to allow people to pass. Not suitable for under 10 year old I would say.
Swashbuckling Good Time for All Ages!

5.00This Jolly Roger was a fantastic for our 10 year-old son. Captain Jack Pigeon and his team are skilled at keeping kids of all ages entertained from start to finish. The lunch was great, the bar prices reasonable, and walking the plank was a fun and unique experience (huge appreciation to the team for having pool noodles for kids to use). Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Paphos. Bring your own towels and sunscreen.
The best piratey pirate family sea trip in Cyprus!

5.00For years this legendary excursion has had THE BEST reputation and I finally got to see why! We had an amazing few piratey pirate hours at sea with some real old school kids entertainment that was non stop from the second we set sail. My daughter is 6 and has not stopped talking all about this superb excursion. We will treasure this memory forever. Expect dancing, treasure hunts, games, face painting and all things fun for kids. I mean, you get to walk a real life plank - if you’re mad enough! Captain jack pigeon is witty and brilliant with pirate patty and we didn’t want to leave! The piratey pirate food was tasty on board and the safety instructions clear for added reassurance. I visit pafos a lot, and trips like this make me reconsider my life choices and make me want to return permanently. Thank you Jolly Roger for making this holiday brilliant. Date of experience: May 2025
Always worth a trip out. Captain Jack is the best.

5.00Another great day on the Jolly Roger. Perfect for families especially SEN children as it's active but not over stimulating. Take floats for the sea as none onboard. Food was good and remember change for drinks from the bar. Photos were amazing and 5 euros each printed. Some lovely shots of my girls. Think we are just outgrowing it sadly as turning 9. A frequent visit when we travel to Paphos.
Great day aboard the Jolly Roger ! 🏴☠️

5.00Just returned from a day on board the Jolly Roger with our 3 year old. Was very quiet due to school term times which meant my little boy could take part and was engaged throughout. Jack pigeon and pirate (Padi(?) were fantastic throughout, they clearly loved what they did and were enthusiastic, happy and in character throughout the trip. Perfect day out on the sea with a little person in tow! Thanks to the fantastic staff.
Amazing!

1.00Not impressed. Nobody interacted with our children, good awful, too crammed. Money grabbing. Would not recommend. Not worth the price or time.
Good old fashioned fun for children

5.00The Jolly Roger (no D in Roger!) and Captain Jack Pigeon (no D in Pigeon!) provide a good four hours of simple old fashioned fun. The trip included a number of activities, all were just the right length of time to keep the atttention of the children. The activities included Pirate Training, a very good magician, some dancing. There was an opportunity to have a swim. The buffet food was good quality and plenty of it. In these days where smart phones and pads are everywhere The Jolly Roger is an excellent way to revisit some fun outside of the digital world.
