Steer clear. Sadly, I too recommended them in the past - but in the latter years have been let down dreadfully by them. one big treat that we like each holiday is a gulet charter for a day. Sadly our usual chap had sold his boat and we had to look around at the last minute for an alternative. Carole and Tayfun (well, I understand it is now tayfun....as carole concentrates on the wedding business) were able to provide a boat for a reasonable price. So we booked and were assured that it would be a very special day, first class service blur blurb blurb. When we turned up, it was clear that the boat hadn't been out of harbour for quite some time. The captain was late, and was a rude surly bugger, who absolutely ruined the day. He constantly shouted and berated the deck hand, and didn't even acknowledge our existence. the food was pretty dire. We motored half an hour out, moored up and that was it....despite Mr Pookie asking the captain to move on, we were told, 'problems'.....Eventually we persuaded him to move on and we went further out into the bay.....only for the engine to splutter and die. We then had to sit for hours, in the heat, bobbing around for another (huge) C&T boat to come out and tow us back in !!! a dreadful day. Mr Tayfun made himself scarce and was never around to complain to. The lady in the office just made excuses and promised to get him to call...promised a refund. Well the refund never materialsed but we were promised another day out on our next trip. Which of course we didn't accept. My Mother then visited the following spring and independently arranged to do a trip with them. I seem to remember it was the Market trip. When she booked she was told they would get her back to uzumlu.....well, the trip finished at 2.00 and My 75 year old mother was 'dumped' on Calis beach and told to wait for the transfer driver to take her back to uzumlu. two hours later, in the blistering heat, she was still waiting. No drinks, no shade and no communication. We will never ever use them again. they are only interested in taking your money. grrrrrr
NOw, if you are serious about a private charter and want something special......The lady Christina is your answer. Absolutely fantastic service and a day you will never forget.
