Bavaria 46 Cruiser

What our clients say!

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.

Hello Necmi,
Finally back in New Zealand after a most successful cruise aboard Catch Me . Certainly compared with our previous four Lagoon 41 charters she was by far the best boat that we have had and we have already thanked Can for this . We think he appreciated our various modifications and purchases to improve the boat for future charterers . We also wish to thank you for your excellent communications particularly when it was necessary with the anchor winch control problems. We would have no hesitation of recommending Boating Turkey as a thoroughly reliable Company to charter from.
Thank you again

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!

We could not fault any part of our experience with Boating Turkey and our honeymoon aboard Dea Del Mare. Necmi and Rusen were helpful throughout the booking process and were accommodating within the pandemic period. We had the best 7 days sailing around Bodrum with the 4 crew, especially as it was just the two of us. The captain gave us full flexibility in our itinerary and allowed us to tailor the holiday completely to our wishes. The food and service were second to none. Dea Del Mare is a beautiful Gulet, after previously sailing on 8 years prior, it has been maintained to a very high standard.

We can't wait to plan another Gulet Charter with Boating Turkey in the future!'
