After sailing a Lagoon 421 "Ton Ton" 6 weeks in September/October 2011 Sailing in Gocek, I can strongly recommend Boating Turkey and Mr Necmi Artar. From the first contact in autumn 2010 until the final week in October 2011 it has been a pleasure to have discussions with Mr Necmi Artar. I am for the moment planning an eventuality proceed next year. If so, I will for sure use Boating Turkey for my planning. Stig Humla Stockholm, Sweden Humla[at]comhem.se

Dear Necmi Artar, Thank you for your assistance in booking our catamaran. The holidays really appeared to be very nice. If I would like to charter a yacht again in Turkey, it goes without saying that I shall take BoatingTurkey into consideration. Grigory Titarenko Russia / Moscow gtit[at]online.ru

I'd like to thank Boating Turkey and Necmi in particular! It happens very rarely when I'm completely satisfied with the services offered, but this was the case. In the beginning of may 2008 I was getting completely annoyed with constant delays and misinformation after numerous attempts to charter a catamaran via Russian or Greek companies. It was then I found Boating Turkey website, which straight away proved to be well laid-out and informative. So I sent a request for a catamaran charter and expected to wait another week or two for a reply, the usual time for the other companies. Imagine my surprise when 3 hours later I got my reply! One week later our holiday was fully booked and paid for. I was very pleased with this punctuality and thoughtfulness. I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a company that's trying to sell me something. Another advantage of Boating Turkey was a very detailed contract, with no hidden costs, everything laid out clearly (apparently this happens very rarely). Our first charter with Boating Turkey was on board Lavezzi 40 catamaran, my husband and I, accompanied by a Turkish skipper Umit. Turkey, weather, wind - everything was great. Umit showed us a lot of beautiful little places which we would have never found ourselves. Our next charter was with a larger crew of 6 people, with a skipper named Hans. This trip was even better than the 1st, it was a perfect mix of active sailing, chilling in the little deserted bays, practicing various maneuvers on a catamaran, and discovering places of cultural interest. Hans impressed us with his complete knowledge of sailing and Turkey in particular, as well as his great sense of humor. About us: we are a married couple in our early fifties, my husband got his RYA Dayskipper qualification last year, I completed a RYA Competent Crew course. We decided to charter a few boats first with the skipper to feel completely confident when we charter the boat for ourselves. I'd like to thank Boating Turkey, and Necmi, Umit and Hans in particular for a great time we've spent this summer! We hope to work with Boating Turkey again in the future!

Dear Boating Turkey Team The boat was well maintained, Nizam was an excellent skipper and we also enjoyed his company -- A great fellow!The Apartment hotel was excellent. The woman who runs it was very nice to all of us and the place is clean and comfortable and priced right. We had a very nice vacation. Thank you for your help. We will try to do it again sometime with you. Prof David Berliner U.S.A berliner[at]asu.edu

Dear Necmi. We greatly enjoined the sailing and loved our skipper - Nizam. He is very good and very pleasant. Everything worked out perfectly - the boat, the routes, the sea, the weather, and above all - the service of your company. What else can I say, I would love to repeat the experience Prof Gavriel Salamon Israel gsalomon[at]research.haifa.ac.il

Dear Necmi We did want to thank you for all the arrangements. We found the booking process very efficient and the information provided very extensive. The boat was very well equipped and everything worked well. We didn't experience any problems. Your staff in Fethiye was very professional and helpful. I will be highly recommending your company to friends and colleagues. The Ece marina facilities were excellent as well. Tijen Taraf England 29.07.2005 tijen.tara[at]fubs.com

Dear Necmi, I want to thank-you very much for all of your help and organization of our boating trip. It was organized perfectly. The boat was beautiful. It was very clean, spacious and in perfect shape. Sailing along the Turkish coast was beautiful. Great anchorages, towns and bays. Everyone we met was very friendly and the food was delicious. We appreciated all of your help with our on shore arrangements also. The tour of Ephesus and the transportation to Bodrum worked very well. I would highly recommend Boating Turkey to anyone looking for a sailing trip along the Turkish coast. Thank-you Necmi. Your service was excellent. Jan Canning Canada

Hello Necmi, The vacaction was a total success. Everything happened so smoothly and all 15 crew members returned home with a big smile on their face. We made a major mistake, we should have booked for 2 weeks instead of one because no one really wanted to leave the boat on the last day. I would like to thank you for the perfect zero-error service you provided and I would highly recommend Boating Turkey to everyone I know. Marc Abou Aad Lebanon marc.abouaad[at]ebancassurance.com

Dear Necmi, Thank you very much for arranging our Turkish Gulet holiday in July, 2009. This was our second boating holiday with Boating Turkey, and we absolutely loved it! We chartered the Miriam Sophie, a 28 metre luxury gulet with two other families, and cruised from Marmaris, through Turkey, to Symi and Rhodes. Our captain and his family, who were the crew, were very amenable, and did everything they could to make our trip fantastic. The food was superb, you really wonder how they can whip up such great dishes on a boat! The coves and islands we visited were all gorgeous, and the highlight I think was our 3 nights in Symi, the harbour was just gorgeous, with Italian colonial architecture and brilliant cafes, then the following 2 nights were spent in little coves with the most magnificent blue water to swim in. The captain also took us to his home port in Turkey, Green Village, which was delightful. The itinerary was very flexible, and crew happy to accommodate our choices. The boat was immaculately maintained, the cabins were large and roomy, the bathrooms were spacious and had a proper shower and toilet. There was loads of deck space both up front with sunbeds for all, and at the rear, which was enormous. We loved to sleep on deck, falling asleep with the stars at night. The captain was very skilled, we were amazed how he could manoevre such a large boat into tight spaces. All in all, we had a brilliant experience. The booking and organization process was extremely simple, easy and smooth, and Necmi was very patient with us as we changed plans several times during the booking and departure period. The drinks etc were all pre-ordered via the net. If you want a truly relaxing holiday, the sun and breeze in your face and not a care in the world, you can't beat this. No TV (they did actually have TV but we didn't tell the kids that) no phones, no worries..... Fiona Vandernagel Australia fionaofarabia[at]yahoo.com.au

Thanks a lot for all recomendations and orientating us to your cabin charter programme. As you know it was our first on board vacation experience and we spent great time on board of a nice Gulet. It went beyond all expectations, everything was excellent but most of all we enjoyed marvellous and quiscent bays of Gokova. You can definetly target us as potencial repeat clients for one of the next summers Karima Bonawiede Gröndalsvagen 157 11769 Stockholm Sweden
