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.

    Great morning on the Jolly Roger.

    Grandchildren 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

    Not 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!

    This 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!

    For 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

    Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.

    How much does Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos cost?

    +

    Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.

    Is Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paphos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paphos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paphos?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paphos?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos?

    +

    Included: Seasonal fresh fruit; Live entertainment; Lunch; Welcome drink; and Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only). Not included: Drinks (available to purchase); Towels; and Use of snorkelling gear (you should bring your own). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 74 listed pickup locations in and around Paphos. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Jolly Roger Boat Cruise from Paphos offered in?

    +
