Dear Necmi,
I am writing to thank all your team for a wonderful Boating holiday experience. The boat was clean and very well maintained. We also felt your staff were very professional and pleasant. We very much enjoyed sailing in Turkey , especially the Gocek islands. We would have no reservations in recommending Boating Turkey and hope that you expand to other parts if the world!

I'd like to thank Boating Turkey and Necmi in particular!
It happens very rarely when I'm completely satisfied with the services offered, but this was the case.
In the beginning of may 2008 I was getting completely annoyed with constant delays and misinformation after numerous attempts to charter a catamaran via Russian or Greek companies. It was then I found Boating Turkey website, which straight away proved to be well laid-out and informative. So I sent a request for a catamaran charter and expected to wait another week or two for a reply, the usual time for the other companies. Imagine my surprise when 3 hours later I got my reply! One week later our holiday was fully booked and paid for.
I was very pleased with this punctuality and thoughtfulness. I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than a company that's trying to sell me something. Another advantage of Boating Turkey was a very detailed contract, with no hidden costs, everything laid out clearly (apparently this happens very rarely).
Our first charter with Boating Turkey was on board Lavezzi 40 catamaran, my husband and I, accompanied by a Turkish skipper Umit. Turkey, weather, wind - everything was great. Umit showed us a lot of beautiful little places which we would have never found ourselves.
Our next charter was with a larger crew of 6 people, with a skipper named Hans. This trip was even better than the 1st, it was a perfect mix of active sailing, chilling in the little deserted bays, practicing various maneuvers on a catamaran, and discovering places of cultural interest. Hans impressed us with his complete knowledge of sailing and Turkey in particular, as well as his great sense of humor.
About us: we are a married couple in our early fifties, my husband got his RYA Dayskipper qualification last year, I completed a RYA Competent Crew course. We decided to charter a few boats first with the skipper to feel completely confident when we charter the boat for ourselves.
I'd like to thank Boating Turkey, and Necmi, Umit and Hans in particular for a great time we've spent this summer! We hope to work with Boating Turkey again in the future!

tinatin58[at]yandex.ruThank you so much for a wonderful vacation cruising the Gulf of Gokova. The gulet was extremely comfortable, the crew friendly, and the food exceptional! We had loads of fun swimming, snorkeling, and playing backgammon and Okey with captain and crew. Your company is very professional and provides excellent value. We will recommend you to our friends and family and will be sure to contact you when we return to Turkey.

mattie[at]vet.upenn.edu Excellent wind, not a cloud in the sky, dark blue and warm water – sailing for a week on an excellent 43 footer was for the less as well as for the more experienced sailors in the crew was an absolutely wonderful experience!
Service by staff, the boat (in excellent condition) and everything else, it could not have been better!
