From start to finish Boating Turkey was very professional and thorough, always quick to respond which is key when you are communicating from 2 different time zones. From the moment all 12 of us stepped onto the boat our expectations were exceeded above and beyond our wildest dreams. The sea was beautiful, the chef was phenomenal and the boat was fantastic. Thank you! Melissa B. USA

Scott will unlikely have the time to respond so I though I would respond based on what he and my daughters said to me and my experience. I was so sorry not to go as it sounded like they had a great time and Turkey looks spectacularly beautiful. I am recovering well from the back surgery (but definitely would have preferred sailing!) I appreciated all your help with the arrangements and your promptness on getting back to me with any questions. They found the boat to be very clean, and with all the details as specified. The depth sounder did not work on the GPS console in the cockpit, and there were some issues with the alarm setting. ( The alarm went off on the depth at 10 meters....which meant the depth sounder was in a constant alarm state(noise!) while anchoring. ). The outboard motor stopped functioning day 4 or 5 ( bad gas?) . Overall they were very satisfied and we would use your company again. Lori E. Baird Canada Loribaird[at]videotron.ca

Dear Necmi, Your Dalaman pick-up and drop off was ready to go and Gocek was a nice little town with easy shopping and free delivery, we stayed the previous night at Gorkem Apartments which were absolutely superb with a fabulous breakfast. It was easy to both depart from and return to the marina, we sailed to the East and made a number of stops including stern tie-ups and swing anchor and mooring evenings. 14 days is essential if you want to relax and spend a couple of nights in the towns like Kalkan and Kas where we found loads of good restaurants esp Zula and Ottoman in Kalkan. As for the sailing we all had a great time with Beaufort 2-7, the hand over was very simple and thorough, the staff were very helpful and the yacht was ready to go several hours earlier than the 16.00 hrs so we sailed out that afternoon and had our first meal at a 'jetty restaurant' a couple of hours away. The Turkish marine regulations for sanitation and mooring in many of the bays mean beautiful clean water to swim in straight off the boat morning noon and night. The neighbouring yacht at one place told us this was, (along with New Zealand) the best place to sail. As to yourself, you answered every email quickly, sorted out any problem that arose, and when we had a gear breakage it was fixed as quickly as possible. Many thanks and we hope to come again but it is a long journey from N.Z Mark Fort New Zealand

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

Necmi, Thank you for excellent service this summer! Now we are planning next summer holidays and with a great pleasure will choose again your company. Ralfs Jansons Lithuanian ralfs62[at]inbox.lv

Thanks so much for working with us on the gulet rental. We had a great time on the boat and the crew was excellent. We loved the itinerary and the weather was perfect. We thought the water was perfect for swimming but maybe a little too cold for snorkeling. Gregory Fish Minnesota - USA 23.04.2009 gregorymfish[at]yahoo.com

Dear Necmi, Thank you very much for your very professional organization of our blue voyage. From the first e-mail you understood our needs and found for our family the best possible gulet. We enjoyed it thoroughly: the itinerary, the crew, the food, the cruise companions and we appreciated your assistance before and after the cruise. The Okan was clean and comfortable and its Captain made us always feel safe. We definitely recommend Boating Turkey and we will ask you to organize for us another cruise soon!

Thank you very much for your mail of September 29. I planned to send you a mail as well to say how much we enjoyed our holidays. The boat was great, so was the wheather, but we especially really admired Marina and Simon, what a great couple and what great service they provided. Thanks very much for booking this great ship and arranging all other facilities around our stay in Turkey. Mieke Zoetemeyer Holland miekezoe[at]zeelandnet.nl

On behalf of my frinds as well, I want to give you a feedback of our holiday through Boating Turkey: The boat was nice, clean, all the stuff was in order: They did a very good job; The skipper was professional, kind, nice, patient and prudent. The gokova gulf is a tour that I will recommend to my friends and people that I know. Our sailing holiday in Turkey has been very very positive with Boating Turkey. I will recommend Boating Turkey to my friends.. Thank you and best regards Filippo Canesso Italy fcanesso[at]uannabe.com

Our holiday was the most relaxing, laid-back and enjoyable holiday we have ever had. Everything ran smoothly from the moment we were greeted at the airport to our last day when the crew spent their free time with us just to make sure we got away okay. Our crew were fantastic - friendly, easy-going and happy to accomodate and anticipate our needs. The food was fantastic and while it was at first strange to let the crew do everything for us, by the end of the week we were so thoroughly relaxed we found it difficult to fend for ourselves when we returned home! We spent every night in a different bay and saw some of the most amazing, blue waters we have ever seen. There is nothing quite like waking up in a beautiful little bay to dive off the boat for that first swim of the day. We even go to meet Bardem the very friendly seal who put his head in our boat and was rewarded with a pat on the head. I have been raving about our Turkish holiday to anybody who will listen and I would highly recommend Boating Turkey to anybody considering a Turkish sailing experience. We hope to return one day!
