We spent a lot of time going through travel brochures and surfing the internet in researching our Turkish boating holiday. After lots of false starts with other boating brokers who did not respond speedily or who only answered one or two of our questions, we found the Boating Turkey website and never looked back. The site was very clearly laid out with an extensive list of available boats along with quality photos. Our questions around boats and suggested itineraries were responded to quickly and effectively, and we always felt that we were getting considered opinions and advice rather than rushed and incomplete responses. The result: The boat and her crew were outstanding - a perfect match to our requirements and exactly as promised by the staff who helped us at Boating Turkey. Their staff could not have been more courteous and helpful, both in the booking process, and helping with some extra supplies on the day of departure and getting our family to the boat quickly and efficiently whilst making sure everything was in order with the captain and boat before they waved us off. We recommend their services with confidence and pass on our thanks for helping with a great holiday experience. Mark & Clare Rizzuto Sydney, Australia mark.rizzuto[at]interglobe.com

Dear Necmi, Everything went very well. The yacht – Dufour 385 – was in a good condition and, as I discovered, very easy to steer, also when pushing back. Gocek is always a good place to start, with a lot of restaurants in small bays nearby. Fethye is only a few hours sailing away. The one-way charter is not a bad choice, because the relatively long way from Fethye/Gocek gulf to Marmaris with less places convenient to stop has to be taken into account only once. That offers the chance to visit more places, drop the anchor in more bays, than in case one has to think about returning to the marina of origin in time. All in all, we enjoyed the trip very much and unexpectedly, it was as warm in September as it was end of July. This year I don't think I have a chance to sail once more, but next year at the earliest convenience, when weather condition are preferable I will….
