How to Book the Pirate Boat in Side: Online or on WhatsApp

Booking takes a few minutes and costs nothing at the time. This guide covers the two ways to do it, what you will be asked, and what happens between pressing the button and stepping on board.

Short answer

Pick the day you want — the pirate boat trip or the kids' pirate programme — choose a date from tomorrow onwards, add your guests by age and give your hotel. No card and no deposit: the euros are due on the trip itself. The evening before, your pickup time arrives by phone or WhatsApp. You can also book by writing to us on WhatsApp at +90 536 603 75 84.

Booking online, step by step

  • Choose the product. The pirate boat trip cruises the coast; the kids' programme goes down the river and ends with a foam party. If you are unsure, read which day to pick first.
  • Choose the date. The earliest the form accepts is tomorrow.
  • Add each guest in the right age band. The form uses the same bands as the fares, so the total it shows matches what you hand over on the morning.
  • Choose your area, then your hotel. If the hotel is missing from the list, type it in.
  • Give the name of the person travelling and a mobile you will actually carry on holiday, with WhatsApp if possible.
  • Check the summary and send.

Booking on WhatsApp

If you would rather talk to a person, message +90 536 603 75 84 on WhatsApp. Tell us which day, the date, how many adults and children and their ages, and the hotel. We book it for you on the same terms as the form: nothing to pay until the day, and the same free cancellation up to 48 hours before.

WhatsApp is also the right route for anything the form cannot handle — a party above 20 guests, a hotel outside the Side belt, or a question about access, health or diet that you want answered before you commit.

What happens after you book

Nothing is charged, and nothing more is needed from you until the day before. Keep the phone number you gave switched on.

The day before your trip, we send the pickup time and the meeting point at your hotel by phone or WhatsApp. That message is the only source of your pickup time — the site never prints one, because it is set hotel by hotel.

If the evening comes and nothing has arrived, do not wait it out. Message +90 536 603 75 84 and we will check.

On the morning, be ready at the meeting point with euros for the fare. The fare is paid on the day, in euros.

Payment is in euros on the day. If you were hoping to pay by card on board, check with us on WhatsApp first; otherwise bring euros.

Changing or cancelling

You may cancel free of charge as long as it is 48 hours or more before the trip. Since nothing was taken when you booked, there is nothing to refund — the booking simply ends.

To change the date, the guests or the hotel, send a WhatsApp giving the lead name and the booked date. Changes to the area or the hotel matter most, because they decide where the car goes.

Later than 48 hours before? Write to us anyway and tell us what has happened.

Who you are booking with

The bookings on this site are handled by Murat Atalay Travel Agency, a travel agency licensed by TÜRSAB under number 11294. The fares are read from the same booking system the form writes to, and every fare is listed on the prices page.

Questions

Before you ask us

Can I book the pirate boat for today?
No. The earliest date the form takes is tomorrow, so for a trip tomorrow, book today.
Do I need to print anything?
No. Keep your phone with you so you can show the booking name and read the pickup message.
In high season, how far ahead should I book?
The kids' programme fills quickly in high season, so book as soon as you know your date. For the pirate boat trip, booking early costs nothing either, since nothing is paid until the day.
