Legend Kral Pirate Boat: from Side vs from Belek
The Legend Kral Pirate Boat can be picked up from both Side and Belek. The tour itself is identical (09:00β16:00, β¬50 per person) β the real difference is the transfer. From Side it's about 0 km (~10 min); from Belek it's about 28.8 km (~36 min). If you want less time on the road, Side is the shorter run. Operator note: This is the lively, family party boat β Turkey's largest pirate-themed vessel β with an open buffet, unlimited soft drinks and water games, so expect music and energy rather than a quiet cruise. There are swim stops and dolphin-spotting along the way; bring swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. The upper deck is best for sun and views, the lower deck shadier for younger children. A great-value day for families and groups who want fun over serenity.

Traveller reviews
Boarding was crowded, but the crew got everyone seated and the mood improved once we left.
Foam party was the highlight for the children. Adults could still find quieter corners upstairs.
Our family group had grandparents, parents, and children, and somehow the boat worked for everyone. The kids loved the foam party, while the adults could sit upstairs and enjoy the views. Lunch was simple but included, and the drinks helped in the heat. It was a bright, noisy, happy holiday day.
Swim stops were well timed and the crew counted people carefully before moving on.
The pirate boat is very touristy, but in exactly the fun way we expected. The children were excited before we even boarded because the boat looks huge and dramatic from the harbor. There was music, swimming, foam, lunch, and enough shade when we needed a break. The crew worked hard all day.
Lunch wasnt gourmet, but it was hot, filling, and included. Good value overall.
