Southern Cross Timer

What our clients say!

Dear Necmi,

Thank you me and all our crew members confirmed that the boat delivered was in a good shape, even for a charterboat in a very good condition. The boat was extremely well equipped. Transfer from/to Airport was superb and I will call you if I will be back in Turkey next time.

Boating Turkey was an excellent choice when you want to rent a gulet, bareboat or whatever you prefer on the sea. It was a first time in my life to be in the sea for days and had rent a gulet from Boating Turkey. It was an amazing experience, never forget in my life how so relax and enjoying to be in a gulet. Also it was an excellent journey i had with my friends, the Captain, Chef and a sailor/hostess. The Chef fed us like dolphins, never stop enjoying the food he prepared and freshly cooked for us. What we need to do is just relax, enjoy, eat, drink, swim and sleep….it was awesome! Thanks to Mr. Necmi, he is the perfect guy to contact for the charter and as a friend. Thank you Mr. Necmi for your kind attention and assistance!

Dear Necmi and Rusen,

Thank you again for your assistance in planning our Turkish gulet trip. I highly recommend Boating Turkey for anyone considering a gulet charter trip in Turkey. When I first began reaching out to brokers, I was connected to Eastern European agencies who could not answer very basic questions about the boats or the itineraries. When I found Boating Turkey, and began to work with Necmi, I was delighted to learn that the brokerage is based in Bodrum. They are intimately involved with the local gulet business, and were extremely helpful in planning our trip. Necmi was able to provide several gulet options for our group of 16. Once we decided on the Ametist A, Necmi and Rusen were always quick to respond and helpful in making changes and additions per our needs.

Upon our arrival in Bodrum, Rusen was on the boat to greet us. He stayed for a couple of hours to make sure that everything was ready prior to our departure. We made last minute changes to catering and water toys for the week, and Rusen was happy to help with the logistics. He seemed genuinely reluctant to leave until he was assured the crew was ready to leave and we had everything we needed.

As for the boat and crew, we could not have been happier. Captain Recep was well attuned to our wishes, and constantly found beautiful, secluded and protected coves for swimming, hiking ashore, and relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. We marveled at his ability to park a beamy 27 foot boat in a 25 foot wide space at the dock. Chef Süleyman earned a round of applause at every meal. It was unreal how he could produce such varied and plentiful meals from such a small space. Basar, Ismail, and Olgun were excellent deck hands who quickly learned our likes and thoughtfully attended to all of our needs. The week would not have been the same without such an outstanding crew.

Thank you again to Necmi and Rusen for helping us put together a truly wonderful vacation. We can’t wait to get back!

Hi Necmi,

We had a safe return after a very enjoyable week in Perla del Mare 2.
Just to give you a feed back of our week.
What was good:
-The Captain and the crew generally speaking.
-The food very well cooked.
-The bays chosen by the Captain, very nice and quiet.
-The outside of the Gulet.
What was not good:
-The interior of the boat did not have any renovation as you said, she was not in a good condition, quite a lot of things did not work properly.
-The lay out was different of the one that was sent, and the crew were 5 and not 6 as shown on the photographs sent to us.
We changed our destination because of weather conditions, and we ended up by staying around Gocek, but we enjoyed very very much the week.

Thank you for the organization and I hope we will go back to Turkey again.
Best regards
