Hello Rusen and Necmi

A big thank you to both of you who arranged our recent Gulet trip from Marmaris.

Your company, Boating Turkey kept us well informed and were very prompt and attentive in responding to our requests,

the whole booking process was made easier because of this.

Thanks for arranging the S.U.P. with such short notice, it was great fun especially behind the Joker.

The trip was simply amazing and one that will be cherished for a long time as we all have fond memories of it.

The M/S Ametist A was a great boat that catered ideally for all our needs; the boat was in good condition, clean,

and the cabins were very neat and tidy, plenty of deck area for socializing.

Captain Recep and his crew - Ismail, Olgun, Sezgin and Suleyman were all very obliging and attentive ensuring all our needs

were catered for and they were all great fun to be with.

We explored the beautiful Datca coastline along with the Greek Islands of Simi and Rhodes visiting beautiful coves to swim

during the day and great anchorages for our cocktails and overnight stays.

Captain Recap's ensured that our safety was paramount at all times, his skills behind the helm were absolutely outstanding as

he manoeuvred the boat into very tight docks without a problem and with the help of his experienced crew.

Every meal on board was delicious thanks to Chef Suleyman's great culinary skills, how he was able to produce quality, tasty meals from the small galley was amazing.

From breakfast to lunch to afternoon tea and then dinner, he ensured that we all were well catered for with plenty of food to go around.

Thanks again for all your assistance with this wonderful Gulet trip which far exceeded all our expectations, we all look forward to one day sailing again with Boating Turkey.

We had a good cruise from Bodrum to Marmaris during early September of 2013.
A chef is always important in situations like these and Hassan certainly rose to the occasion, delivering a range of tasty, nutritious and healthy meals doing more than justice to the Turkish cuisine under difficult conditions.
The boat hands Arkhan and Aktihm were extremely diligent, keeping the boat spotless at all times. Aktihm was particularly pleasant with an omnipresent mischievous smile!
Duran, the skipper, performed his task well, demonstrating good seamanship at all times and proving to be an expert at preparing just about anything on the bow mounted barbeque. He chose a sensible route, selecting good overnight stops in beautiful coves, passages and charming villages. Communicating our route, advice and suggestions about what to do ashore and engagement generally was somewhat limited.
Our diverse group from South Africa and New Zealand got on really well, truly enjoying the on board hospitality.
We were somewhat disappointed that the boat was not fully equipped to sail rather than motor all the time. An on board wind surfer and snorkelling gear would have been welcome as well.
Besides that, we had a great time. Boating Turkey were flexible regarding our needs arriving and departing and we will use them again.

Kind regards
