Short answer: our four Side boat days run from €20 to €70 per adult and from €14 per child, with infants free on every one. Reservation is free and you pay on the tour day.
What a Boat Day in Side Really Costs
We run four different boat tours out of Side, and because we're the operator — not a reseller — we can show you the exact prices we charge, with nothing bolted on later. Every price below is per person, in euros, and every boat includes round-trip hotel pickup and lunch on board. You reserve for free and pay on the tour day, so there's no upfront risk and no card needed to hold your seats.
Current Prices Across Our Boat Fleet
- Side Boat Tour (7 hours): adult €20, child €14, infant free. Our classic full day, swim stops, snorkeling, live music and a foam party.
- Side Pirate Boat Tour (6 hours): adult €23, child €16, infant free. Our bestseller for families, face painting, treasure hunt and a kid-friendly lunch menu.
- Side Island Boat Tour (8 hours): adult €24, child €17, infant free. The longest day out, with unlimited soft drinks included.
- Side Relax Boat Tour (7 hours): adult €70, child €49, infant free. Our quiet, no-party concept, soft and alcoholic drinks, an open-buffet lunch and a reserved sunbed for every guest are all in the price.
Infants sail free on all four boats. Each boat sells adult, child and infant tickets, just tell us your children's ages when you book and we'll apply the correct ticket, no guesswork on your side.
Why the Prices Differ So Much
€20 to €70 looks like a big spread until you see what each price carries. The classic boat keeps the ticket lean: your cruise, swim stops, lunch, crew and insurance are in, while drinks and sunbeds are paid extras on board. The island boat folds unlimited soft drinks into the ticket. The relax boat goes furthest, soft and alcoholic drinks, an open-buffet lunch and your own guaranteed sunbed are all included, which is exactly why it costs more. You're not paying for a "better sea"; you're paying for how much of the day is prepaid.
What's Included on Every Boat
- Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off in air-conditioned vehicles
- Lunch served on board
- Professional, licensed crew and insurance
- Swimming stops along the Side coastline
What's Not in the Ticket: On Any Boat
We'd rather you hear this from us than discover it at the bar. Across the fleet, the usual on-board extras are:
- Drinks: paid extra on the classic and pirate boats; soft drinks are free on the island boat; everything is included on the relax boat.
- Photos and videos: the on-board photo service is optional and paid separately.
- Tips: always at your discretion, never expected.
- Sunbeds: a paid extra on the classic boat, but reserved and included on the relax boat.
That's the whole list. No port fee at the gangway, no "service charge" at drop-off, no surprise transfer cost, pickup is already in the price.
Pay on the Day, Cancel Free Up to 24 Hours
Every reservation with us works the same way: you book for free, we confirm your pickup personally the evening before, and you pay on the tour day itself. Plans change on holiday, cancel up to 24 hours before departure and it costs you nothing. There's no penalty for booking early, so grabbing your preferred day (the pirate boat fills fast in peak season) is risk-free.
Picking the Right Boat for Your Budget
If you simply want the best-value sea day, the classic boat at €20 is hard to argue with. Families with younger kids usually find the pirate ship worth the extra €3 for the entertainment alone. If you'd rather budget once and put your wallet away, the relax boat is the closest thing to all-inclusive on the water. Still deciding? Our first-timer and family guide walks through who each boat suits, and the boat tour FAQ answers the practical questions.
