The Side Pirates Boat blog

Each post sets a pirate day beside one other day out in Side and says plainly who should pick which, and when both fit into one holiday.

• Pirate Boat or Dolphin Boat in Side: Which Day for Your Family? Both are days on a boat out of Side, and both appeal to children. They are built around different things, though, and knowing which is which saves a disappointed eight-year-old.
• Pirate Boat or Green Canyon from Side: An Honest Family Comparison One day is at sea with a crew dressed as pirates; the other heads inland to the green water of a canyon lake. They answer different wishes, and the right one depends on who is coming.
• Pirate Boat or Suluada Boat Day from Side: Which Suits Your Family? Both are days at sea with swimming in them. The difference is what happens between the swims — a crew in costume running games for the children, or a long day on the water to reach an island famous for its clear sea.
• Pirate Boat or a Private Gulet in Side: Shared Fun or Your Own Boat? One is a shared, themed day with a costumed crew and other families on board. The other gives your group a boat of its own. Both are good days out; they are just good at different things.
• Pirate Boat or Jeep Safari in Side: Sea Day or Off-Road Day? These two could hardly be more different: a costumed crew and swim stops on the sea, or open vehicles on dusty tracks in the hills behind the coast. Here is how to tell which one your family needs.
• Pirate Boat or Buggy Safari in Side: Which Day Is Right for You? A buggy safari puts you behind the wheel on dirt tracks; the pirate boat puts the children in costume on the sea. The question is less which is better and more who the day is for.
• Pirate Boat Kids' Programme or Rafting in Side: Two River Days Both days involve a river, and that is about where the likeness ends. One drifts gently downstream on the pirate ship to a swim at the sea; the other puts you in a raft and asks you to paddle.
• Pirate Boat or Turkish Bath in Side: A Lively Day or a Slow One? One is a long, lively day at sea for children; the other is warmth, steam and quiet. They rarely compete for the same day — the real question is how to fit them both around a family.

The everyday details of booking: the message confirming your pickup, coming along with a baby, and reserving places for someone else.

• Pirate Boat Side: The Day-Before Pickup Message Explained Nowhere on this site will you find a pickup time, and that is deliberate. Yours comes in a single message the day before you sail. Here is what is in it and what to do with it.
• Pirate Boat Side with a Baby Under 2: What to Know A baby on a pirate ship sounds like a lot. In practice the fare is simple and the planning is mostly yours — so here is what we can tell you, and where you should ask before booking.
• Booking the Pirate Boat in Side for Someone Else: A Short Guide Grandparents taking the grandchildren out, a friend's family staying at another hotel, a treat for your sister's children: a pirate day can be booked by someone who will not be on board. It works, as long as the details belong to the people travelling.
