Daughter issues serious warning after dad died on ‘pirate ship’ and staff ‘covered him up for foam party’

A woman from the UK has issued a serious warning after her father tragically passed away while on a 'pirate ship', with staff covering up his body and continuing the party.

Peter Colville, 60, was holidaying in Alaya, Turkey with his children and grandchildren back in July before tragedy stuck after they boarded a luxury boat.

The family of 10 set sail on the £200 'luxury pirate ship' boat trip, which featured a variety of activities such as swimming, snorkelling, and a foam party.

However, after the second swimming stop, Peter disappeared and was soon discovered with his face down in the water, with staff allegedly 'unbothered and clueless' as he was rushed aboard for CPR, but sadly, it was too late and he passed away.

While most would have ended the experience immediately, there were as many as 600 other holidaymakers on board, and staff instead declared him dead and covered him with a towel, before continuing as if nothing had happened.

Now, Peter's daughter Nakita has spoken out about the horrifying ideal and warned about the lack of security measures during the experience, which she feels played a huge part in her father's mysterious and tragic death.

She said: "My dad is very safety-conscious, and I remember as we walked onto the boat, he said it was strange they didn’t seem to tick off names, hand out wristbands or get waivers signed."

After 'brushing it off', the property maintenance boss enjoyed his first swim alongside his family but was found face down after the second, with the crew members allegedly stood with their arms crossed before apologising for the delay on the foam party.

Nakita added: “I looked into the water and saw my dad’s face, floating, and people scrambling to get him out of the water. As far as we knew, or he knew, he was healthy - we have no idea what happened. They had covered him with a towel before the coastguard even arrived.”

Despite postmortems taking place in both Turkey and the UK, a cause of death was never concluded, and Peter's death remains a mystery that will sadly live with the family forever, especially as they remember the lack of respect he received from the people who had a duty of care for him.

Other visitors shared their experience, with some eyewitnesses recalling the horror moment, while others took to Tripadvisor to blast the company in charge of the yacht ship, named Legend Big Kral.

One Tripadvisor review from the day it happened said: "The way it was handled by the crew was nothing short of horrifying. It is unsafe, unprofessional, and the crew is neither trained nor emotionally capable of handling emergencies - or tragedies."

Another guest commented: "He was laid on the deck – and then nothing. No proper procedures, no clearing the deck from onlookers, no immediate CPR. A crew member looked into his eyes and declared him dead."

The company did not respond for comment.
