Dear Necmi Our recent two week holiday with Captain Cevat, Hassan & Bulent onboard Yildizhanlar 11 with 3 other couples from Australia, I would describe as a wonderful life experience that was thoroughly enjoyable with lovely memories! Where to start? The scenery from Bodrum to Gocek was incredible, the swimming in such clear tranqual waters amazing. The food Bulent cooked was absolutely devine, always varied and obviously lots of preparation and thought put into each meal, we ate like kings and queens! The chips in the morning omelette, the fresh fish and chicken dishes were a real hit! Captain Cevat was a delight, his knowledge of the areas we travelled, his expertise sailing and handling his gulet was obvious and reassuring, we felt very safe and looked after. We appreciated that Captain Cevat took the time to accompany us on some of our excursions, we obviously learnt more about the surroundings by having him with us to ask any questions and knowing where to go to get the best view. But the real hidden treasure onboard Yildizhanlar 11 was Hassan, his gentle, obliging manner to our every whim was just amazing. Hassan made a point to remember what each of us liked to drink upon waking, he would have a lovely cup of turkish tea, coffee or apple tea ready for us. All throughout the day, Hassan made sure we were comfortable, well fed and watered (including the best “knock your socks off” gin and tonics!) he took care of “all” our domestic duties. Hassan did this in a very unobtrusive and professional manner, it was an absolute delight to of met him. (His smile is priceless!) I could not fault our trip, it was just what we were looking for, lots of relaxing, reading, eating, relaxing, sleeping, eating, drinking, sleeping! I hope other Australians take advantage of this wonderful adventure and have a wonderful trip on a gulet like us. Russell Harrison Australia harro[at]omninet.net.au

Dear Boating Turkey Team In one word it was "superb", very good product, professional service, very talented skipper who makes safety a priority so his passengers can relax by knowing they are being very well taken care of. I particularly appreciated your advice at the begining of our contact, and especially the speed with which you responded to my questions and concerns. Thank you, I will certainly be in touch with you for next sail away. Sietske Aussems Don Boscostraat 5W 5611 KV EIndhoven The Netherlands saussems[at]freeler.nl

This has been our first experience of sailing the Turkish coast and after that I have to recommend Boating Turkey. The booking procedure went fine, Necmi provide us with all the information we requested, and all the process was as expected: they were waiting for us at Dalaman airport with a first class vehicle, the boat was in perfect conditions and well equipped, the people at the Marina was very professional and efficient, and the sailing experience at the Lycian coast was simply marvelous, beatiful weather, cristal clear waters, superb landscapes and very friendly people. I strongly recommend to sail Turkey and do it with the help of Necmi at Boating Turkey Jaime Ros Spain jaime_ros[at]telefonica.net

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

Dear Mr Artar, Just a quick note to let you know how very much my kids, friends and I enjoyed the La Mer and her crew. The chef was absolutely superb, and has converted all of us to the delights of Turkish cuisine. Abdullah could not have been more jolly and delightful, and JJ was all a captain should be. Please tell them how much we all enjoyed their efforts, and pass on my good wishes to them. Many Kindest regards Georgia Campbell London England georgieziadie[at]aol.com

Dear Necmi, Thanks for your all help.We enjoyed our holiday very much. Here is a short overview of our trip:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ1MviKl7XE Janno Luurmees Estonia janno.luurmees[at]gmail.com

We commenced discussions with Necmi from Boating Turkey some 9 months before our holiday in Turkey and found him to be extremely helpful in planning our yacht charter in terms of selecting the type of yacht, planning the itinerary and general information on holidaying in Turkey. We selected a luxury Gulet “ Sagapo “ from Bodrum and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we boarded the Captain and crew went out of their way to ensure we had an experience we would never forget. I can certainly recommend Boating Turkey and will use them again if ever planning a boating holiday in Turkey .

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
