I appreciated all your help with the arrangements and your promptness on getting back to me with any questions.
They found the boat to be very clean, and with all the details as specified. The depth sounder did not work on the GPS console in the cockpit, and there were some issues with the alarm setting. ( The alarm went off on the depth at 10 meters....which meant the depth sounder was in a constant alarm state(noise!) while anchoring. ). The outboard motor stopped functioning day 4 or 5 ( bad gas?) .
Overall they were very satisfied and we would use your company again.

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!
