Sea Angel

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.

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.
