Heldags krydstogtstur til Kalymnos, Pserimos og Plati Island

A brilliant day out. Fantastic value for money. Great lunch, with a really good crew - they were great entertainers. Would recommend this trip.

Great fun, great value and a few special stops! The island stops were outstanding! We will be coming back for sure.

Booked this and we were the last to be picked up in Tigaki. Dropped off at Kos Harbour and we were shown to the boat. We were all given a plastic card to register and then made our way to the top deck so we could sunbathe. I was shocked to see only 24 sunbeds, all of which had been taken. There were 13 mattresses on the floor, however these were short mattresses and when I laid down on one, my feet went some way onto the next mattress meaning no one could lay on that. The only other option was to sit on a hard plastic chair, so that was our option. The other problem is that the mattresses butt up to the chairs meaning anyone walking to the steps has to walk on the mattress where people were sunbathing. The trip was enjoyable, the tour guide gave good information. Pirate Louis was entertaining and the food was good. The stops were okay. Nothing much to see and do at either of them. However on the way we did see dolphins and the captain stopped the ship to allow us to see them. We stopped at Kalymnos and were specifically told to be back at 1430 hours or we would be left. We were also told it wasn't a swimming spot. 147 people made it back on time. The boat waited for 5 minutes or so and then left as it should. After about 5 minutes of sailing we were told we had to turn back as the 3 had returned to the docks. It took another 10 minutes to go back, pick them up, and after the entire ship gave them a round of boos, the 3 passengers went back to the middle deck giggling and soaking wet as if they had been swimming. We then moved onto the swimming spot however this was cut short due to returning to pick up the three. They were allowed to go swimming which I think was wrong as they didn't have any consequences for their actions, but we were all penalised for it. After the trip, we made our way back to our bus, thinking we would be dropped off first as we were picked up last. Instead we were told to get on a different bus and it would be quicker. It's only an 18 minute journey anyway. We got onto a different bus and the driver took us through the back way of Tigaki and then started to go to Marmari about 4 miles away. I asked the bus driver when we were going to our hotel and he told me he had forgotten and I should have reminded him. Apparently I should have known his bus schedule and where all the hotels are located and what route he was going. He got onto the phone and after dropping everyone but us off at their hotels, a colleague picked us up from Marmari in his car and took us back to our hotel. An 18 minute journey took 48 minutes. So much for it being quicker. If you want to be packed on a boat like beans in a can then choose this tour. If not go with someone else, but I'll never use them again.

My husband and I booked a day tour on the pirates of Kos ship on a trip in to Kos. Lots of boats offering their trips but the man selling this one actually took time to explain to us where the boat goes and what happens which sold it for us and it's abit of a novelty going on a pirate ship! He even let us onboard to have a look around too. Plenty of places to sit, well stocked bar, toilets on board too. The trip was good. Lunch was served after we got back on the boat after the first trip. 2 kebabs, salad, bread and tzatziki which was nice. My husband went in the sea at the boat stops. The water was soo blue but I preferred to sit and watch everyone else jump in! People were jumping from top deck which was fun to watch but I did see a couple of ladies with their noses bleeding after jumping in, not sure why that happened! There was also a slide at the back of the ship too. On the way back the Kos the ship turned in to like a party boat on the top deck with music and dancing it was great. The guy running the trip is a great entertainer and very comical saying things like see you next week when we were getting of the ship at the first stop. Was hoping to see some dolphins as we passed through 'dolphin waters' but unfortunately not this time. We went on the land train at kalymnos which took us on a trip around the village which was nice but we where expecting to go to where they make sea sponges but it basically brought us back to the sea front where we got off the boat to the free sea sponges museum. The whole train journey was covered by an English speaking tour guide on the speakers but when we went in the sponge museum the lady spoke in greek or some other language for about 15- 20 mins and we had zero idea what was being said so we ended up leaving and going for an ice cream instead. Great day out and would go again but I'd give the sponge museum a miss. Very reasonable price too at just €25 each!

Had the most fantastic day out on the sea with these guys Fantastic friendly staff Great ship the grandkids love it Swimming stops where beautiful Food great pork skewers salad and bread Didn't sting you for drinks thay are a reasonable price Been on this trip twice and can't wait to go again A big thank you

Boats with hundreds of people crowded to go swimming in a tub that would be beautiful if there were not the hundreds of people crowded coming from the boats. Mass tourism

I can see the appeal…However, unfortunately this trip was not as enjoyable as could’ve been. The pirate ship was more of a party boat which was not exactly what we were expecting. We were expecting a smaller, more relaxed boat. We were told we were getting on one boat then told it was full and we all had to get on a different one. The first one seemed crowded, but the second one was unreal. There was way too many people on this boat (although we were told that it wasn’t even full). The first stop was short but enjoyable. We got to swim on a beach and souvenir shop but we only had an hour. You were not allowed to stay on the ship during this stop. When returning, my family of 4 got separated due to everyone pushing infront of everyone. This is especially concerning due to the amount of children that were on this trip. Also, I have a family member that has obviously recently had surgery and is obviously not 100%, but other people clearly didn’t seem to care due to how much they got pushed around in this crowd. Very dangerous. When we finally got on the ship, the bbq was sub par, with only 1 out of 4 of us getting it. The bbq does not include a drink, you have to pay for your drinks, but they do have a bar on the upper deck. On the next stop, we went on a historic sponge tour which were not made aware of prior to. It was interesting and not too long, but I know history isn’t everyone’s thing. The last stop was a swimming stop. Sounded ideal until we got there. The boat itself is equipped with a slide, a diving board and 6 ladders to get in and out of the water. Even with all this, the amount of people made it completely unsafe. It was utter chaos. Everyone was pushing with no regard for anyone else. People weren’t letting people go down the ladders because they had to use all 6 to climb back onto the ship. Although, most people would think I’ll just wait. No…so many people decided to jump over people climbing up and on top of people already in the water. When we finally got into the water, there wasn’t really enough room to move due to the amount of people. Then getting out became such an issue, because people at the top of the ladders became a hazard for everyone getting out, standing at the top and not moving. This boat truly is a free for all and you need to push your way through to get to experience anything. There’s also a poor parrot that was kept in a cage until late in the day and then made to take pictures with people on the way back to Kos. This boat trip was honestly so dangerous and I recommend you consider a smaller boat if you plan to do this.

It was very nice.atmospheric mood on board .tasty food.very nice staff and a nice ship

We embarked with family in Kos in the pirate ship Aegan for a visit of the 3 islands. The first: Pserimos has a beautiful beach but we stayed there for 1 hour which is a shame because we were just starting to swim. We then went to the kalimnos island where there was absolutely nothing to visit where we stayed 2 hours to pear. It would have been better to spend more time on the first island. Then on the last one, we did not stop because it is uninhabited, the boat went next to it so that we could swim. It is convenient for snorkeling but on the other hand the children could not enjoy because the sea is deep and you have to know how to swim a minimum. At the level of atmosphere it was not bad, we listen to Greek music and passengers are of all ages

A long day but a great day. The boat was not too full so the was room to move around, pleasant and helpful staff. Party atmosphere onboard with some Greek dancing! The two islands were good the first was more quaint, with the third spot being for blue lagoon swimming. Well worth the money - very enjoyable day.
