What a family actually pays
Two adults and two children aged 4 to 11 on the pirate galleon is €68 for the whole day, with hotel transfer both ways and a cooked lunch included. The same family on the Starcraft is €120, and on the Manavgat day €146.
Infants under 3 travel free on every boat, and they are not a token free — they simply are not charged. You still tell us they are coming, so the crew has a headcount.
The age bands, and why they matter
The booking system charges from three bands: 0–3 free, 4–11 the reduced child price, 12 and over the adult fare. A twelve-year-old pays the adult price, which surprises some parents, so it is worth checking birthdays before you book a big group.
Those bands were corrected in our system in August 2026 — before that a six-year-old was being charged the adult fare on some listings, against our own published terms. If you booked one of these boats elsewhere and paid an adult price for a young child, that is why.
What the day is actually like with children
The pirate galleon is the loud one and children love it: a foam party on deck, games and an animation crew, plus swim stops in sheltered coves. Seven hours door to door is a long day for a toddler, but there is deck space and shade.
The Manavgat day is the gentler option — a river and reservoir cruise, a waterfall, swim breaks in cool water and a bazaar. It runs Mondays and Thursdays only.
Being honest about the hard parts
None of these boats is step-free, there are stairs between decks, and there is no supervised area or childminding — children stay with the adults they came with.
There are no cots, no changing tables and no dedicated baby food. Bring what a small child needs for a full day, because you cannot buy it at sea.
