What our clients say!

When you make an online booking with Boating Turkey you are ensuring more than a top class holiday, you are establishing contact with Necmi Artar.
So what, you might think!!
Well, not only will Necmi look after your Gulet cruising requirements, he can sort out many more of the associated things that are essential to your break, such as transfers from & to the Airport, hotel accommodations, excursions while you are shore-based, transfers from the hotel to the Bodrum marina and back again on completion of your cruise. On our behalf he even checked availability and booked us into the hotel we had found on the internet and specifically wanted to stay at!!
With service like this, it will come as no surprise to learn that the Gulet cruise through the Gulf of Gokova was brilliant. The service was great – Captain and 2 crew to look after just 9 of us – fresh food every day, plenty of cold drinks and beautiful scenery and swimming opportunities.
I can thoroughly recommend this holiday for total relaxation and enjoyment and cannot thank Necmi enough for ensuring that all worked out perfectly

Dear Rusen,

Thank you for your help in putting together the best vacation ever.

I would recommend Boating Turkey to anyone planning to charter a gulet in Turkey, and you definitely should. A friend had referred me to Boating Turkey, after he had fantastic experience, and I was not disappointed. Rusen gave us great options and informed us that since we booked the whole boat, we had flexibility in what we wanted to do. He recommended itineraries, based on our needs, as well as ensuring the requested equipment was on board. Rusen also arranged for us to tour the ancient city of Knidos with a guide. Our guide, Hamdi, was amazing - informative and entertaining, also recommended!

We were a group of 10 traveling as part of a 25th wedding anniversary celebration. The boat - the Grande Mare - and her crew fit our needs perfectly. The boat was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with extras as requested.

The crew was amazing! Memmet, the captain ensured we had secure, secluded inlets and met our request for good trails for hiking. Abdoulla our chef served us spectacular food with a great flare for presentation, he loved his work and took pride in every dish. The variety at every meal was amazing, with so many dishes to choose from. Kerem, our steward took great care of our every request with a great sense of humor. John and Ozzie, the deck hands and dingy drivers were engaging and friendly and very accommodating. While only Kerem was fluent in English (all had some English), they all made us feel welcome and ensured we were safe and had everything we needed. The crew made the trip even more memorable than the scenery and surroundings.

Thanks again to Rusen and the Boating Turkey team. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we will use them again!

Hello Necmi

A few weeks ago, I told my wife I wanted to visit family in the Netherlands. She agreed but wanted to go to another country for half the visit just to see something new. She was thinking Belgium or Germany or? The first thing I did was start looking for a last minute catamaran to charter. We have never done this before and did not know what to expect. I read lots of warnings on the internet about booking from smaller companies, but this was the only boat available in our price range. We were also a little unsure about travel in Turkey, with all the world news lately etc. We are back on the docks after an absolutely amazing time on the water and totally enjoyed the hospitality of the Turkish people we have met on our travels. The people at Aura Charters are excellent to work with and full of smiles and quick to help. I just wanted to send you this message of thanks and appreciation for everything you have done for us.
I wish you fair winds and following seas

We just returned from one of the most decadent, luxurious, and relaxing vacations we have ever taken with our family. What a lovely surprise this was as I found out about Boating Turkey online. After reading the testimonials from other clients and contacting a few of them directly to get their first hand opinions, I was convinced by their rave reviews and felt confident that the trip would be a success.

Necmi Artar, the tour manager, was a pleasure to work with. Together, we mapped out several destinations to sail to in the Gulf of Bodrum. Necmi was always a pleasure to work with. Every time I emailed him he replied immediately. I found this comforting and never felt the need to speak with Necmi by phone, or worried that some part of the trip would fall through the cracks. He answered every question I had with virtual smile on his face.

The gulet we were on was immaculate, and very spacious. We never felt overcrowded. The crew were very accommodating. In fact, part way through the trip we decided that we wanted to spend some evenings in ports that had entertainment. The captain of the ship fully accommodated our request by turning the boat around and sailing in the other direction towards Greece. We were on the sea during the day and in some fantastic ports by night.

Lastly, the food was fresh and very tasty. I would certainly recommend Boating Turkey to anyone who asks me about renting a private yacht in Turkey or Greece.
