but just remember scunner, I didn't put the prices on at first. I only put the prices on when people requested them as didn't think I could and was reluctant to offer the discount. I hadn't actually checked with our other boat partner and my husband, if the price was OK before offering the discount. I apologised for this, but I have honoured the first price of the people who already booked with me. The price change was only for private boat trips, not the other trips. It would have been nice for you to let me know this first, before deleting the post off. Please could you let me know how I delete being a member of this forum or just do it for me, as what is the point....I even sent you a private message yesterday and you couldn't be bothered to reply to that. Seems you want to reply on the forum instead so everyone can see and make people look stupid....
-
Give it up caz, you quoted a price, then when asked if a CBF discount was possible you upped that price and took a little off. You imply I am in the wrong over this in some way, that's really rich.
For the record, I didn't just delete the post, I replied stating my intention to 4 days ago. Then I deleted it off. Argue all you like, I'll be here to reiterate the situation for as long as you want to continue justifying this sharp practice.
-
I will give it up as I can't be bothered to argue anyway and have done nothing wrong. The people who sent me direct enquiries were not bothered that I had put the price up as said it was still a fair price....you may have replied on the forum to me, which I didn't see but an email would have been nice. Shame you didn't just leave it up to the people who read the forum to decide if they thought it was a fair price or not...my last word...
-
Done nothing wrong...
You advertised your boat (without the courtesy of even asking if you could) and rather than delete it I asked you to offer a discount for CBF members.
You quoted 350 lira, then agreed to a 10% discount for CBF members. Then upped the price to 400 lira! 400 - 10% = 360 lira, 10 LIRA MORE than CBF members would have paid without the "special" discount!!!
That may be "doing nothing wrong" in your World but not mine. I agree with you on one thing, let's "leave it up to the people who read the forum to decide".
If that's really your last word, this is mine too.
-
Thumbs up to you Mr Scunner [^]

I am going on Afrodite boat on Thursday, and again a week wednesday. Caroline did honour the original discounted price. I also think her other prices for evening bbqs and daily trips with transfers are very good value - give a girl a chance! I will post an unbiased report on my trips in two weeks time -!Now I must dash as I have a plane to catch in less than five hours time.... :)
-
caz35 are you related to any of our MPs they also keep using the line
" I've done nothing wrong ".!!! just a thought from an unbiased reader.

caz35
I don`t know why you`re so upset about your post being deleted, what about my one that pointed out the con you were trying to pull, that was deleted as well :(

Caz 35 ,were you a member of parliament before you moved to Turkey ?
-
scunner for prime minister :)
-
I am new to this forum and do not know the ins and outs of the topic. I will say that I am pleased to see that Scunner is looking out for all of us and our friends that holiday here. I do not know how well the prices pan out..I suppose and guess its not about value for money...its about the pretend discount to forum members...when it would have been cheaper to book direct without mentioning the forum. I do not know the name of the company.Are yoy allowed to say....Many thanks for the tip on this topic ;)
-
Thanks to Sue for her supportive comments above and it was so nice to meet her and her family today. Yes oh my god she came on our boat and yes had a great time.....Yes I was a member of parliament ronzeus before I came to Turkey. How witty you are and thanks to the rest of you for all your unsupportive comments. Caz

That's the spirit but be careful who you book your boat trip with. I always book with Popeye and Olive Oil:D

If I had my way she wouldn`t get ONE customer off this forum.

-
From what I understand, fairly much common email stuff when someone has the audacity to agree that a business over there isn't playing a straight game - "we hope to meet you one evening for a chat", that sort of low key threatening. It's pathetic but I've heard it from several people several times.
-
It was my last word scunner but do you expect me just to ignore the comments being made? Everyone saying nasty comments on here had no intentions of doing a boat trip anyway, obviously just enjoy winding people up on here....and in reply to Crabbit, whoever you are, nice of you to reply to my email, not, but instead you post your little comments on here....and thanks to Karenr who posted above again saying she had an email off me, and yes thanks for her apology in reply, although she doesn't seem to mention that on her last post on 29 May. I haven't threatened anyone in any email, why would I want to do that, I just asked Crabbit to find out other prices on the harbour so he could compare, and when he is there come and find me and we can discuss further how I am ripping people off as he says. We are just a husband and wife and other partner trying to do a business over here, and I hope none of you are ever in this position that when you make one simple mistake on here with your prices, and get all this grief over it as a result...I apologised so what more can I do. And don't worry Crabbit I haven't got any more customers off this forum, thanks to people like you....so you can sleep easy in your bed at night....And just to make a few of you more happy, we had our boat stand broken up and thrown in the sea the other night, and also happened to a few other boat owners on the harbour, and it was actually some guys off another boat who did this saying they were drunk, I won't say from which boat but the police are involved, so really all your comments don't bother me any more as we have other things to worry about....
-
caz, this topic has died a death three times, and each time it is brought back to the top by YOU.
-
I know scunner and I am sorry but I just can't ignore the comments as we really don't deserve it. Will you please just lock the topic then I can't add any more as well....
-
I wasnt going to post my email on here. Cant win sometimes! yes I did apoligise if I caused you any upset. Said it now....end of
-
I cant believe this....
Anyway, I offered an unbiased report and here it is...
I went on Afrodite last week with a group of friends. We actually went back and did a second trip the following week. Caz and Hakan are lovely people, as are the deckhand boys. The boat is lovely - clean and ideal for a group of friends who want a private trip. There is plenty of shade, plenty of sunbathing area and plenty of chairs and tables. The boat was far better than it looks on Caz's original photos.
Lunch is similar to that on other boats, but with the added treat of tuna steaks on our private trip. We had the added bonus of little "Zilley" their little white dog who is adored by both Caz and Hakan and he proved to be a very popular addition to the trip for our children!
I really cant justify the comments made to Caz on here, and as usual, until you actually do meet people, I do not think you can judge. I wish them well in their business and would not be too bothered about 10% discount! (although they did give this to us on both of our trips, not getting the discount would not stop me using them in future)
The only negative comments that I have are that there were no snorkels/goggles on board or fishing rods which I am sure would make the trips a bit more enticing and get some nice Turkish music to play when moored up in the bays!!!
Good luck Caz and Hakan and see you again.
Sue and family.

I don't need to meet anyone before working out their mathematics thanks
-
Would you use someone elses snorkel ???
Ron
-
Actually yes I would - and have - and will do again - and have seen many people doing the same thing - and believe it or not, none of us have come down with any disease, illness, swine flu, herpes or contagious virus around the mouth..amazing isnt it!..not that that has anything to do with the thread, which was simply to offer a true update of my experience on Afrodit!!!
-
Thanks Sue :) for your comments and support and great to meet you all and see you later in the summer...Caz
-
No probs Caroline....I would love to download some photos of your lovely boat but not sure how to ....so if anyone is thinking of doing a boat trip this summer, and want to have a look at the Afrodit for for size, shade, comfort etc. just email me. I assure you wont be disappointed. :)
-
They will if they read page 1 first
-
I actually think the topic will have caused some curiosity to forum members, and they will get business purely because people will wander along to have a "nosey" at the boat that has caused such a stir on here! And then, when they see the size/cleanliness etc of the boat, Im sure the lack of a 70p discount off the sunset cruise wont stand in their way of booking! :) Just my thoughts on the matter.............
-
I for one will not be going for a look, IMHO they tried to use the forum to promote the boat and actually they were trying to rip us off. I'd pay double rather then use them, for me it's the principle. I'll stick with my usual boat.
-
I actually think that the sooner caz35 stops returning to this topic to thank people for coming, the sooner this whole sorry tale will fall away into the depths of the forum. This is the optimal option for such a soiled topic. To keep bringing it back from the death to the top of the list really is odd behaviour when you do it yourself.
-
Sorry, person, not people.
-
I thanked Sue for her support and comments Scunner not for coming and I didn't ask her to do her post, she did it herself. So are you saying that the nice comments are not allowed on here, only the horrible ones? What about gorgeous bird's latest comments? Why don't you ask her why she is keep posting on here with her horrible remarks, bringing the topic back up to the top? And yes Sue was right, we are still getting enquiries so I'm happy that most people on here don't treat people the way that the small group of you have treated me.
-
Let me explain it one more time. If you don't reply, I won't and this topic showing your attempt at shafting our members can disappear down the list. Every time you write in it, it jumps back to No1 in the list of topics and a new selection of readers get the chance to see your attempted trick.
Keep reactivating the topic, makes no difference to me

Don't be a wally, her comments were made 4 minutes AFTER it returned to the top, she hardly brought it back to the top lol
-
I asked you before Scunner to lock it but you didn't, so just LOCK IT....I am not adding comments to make it come back to the top as I could just start another topic anyway, so please just LOCK IT as easiest way and my nightmares of someone sinking our boat will go away....X
-
This is all a bit silly now. Someone's business is being slaughtered here. I've followed the thread from the beginning and what I will say is that many people will take a stroll and go with a boat that takes their fancy even if it is 2 or 3 lira of a difference. Some of the comments are harsh and I am sure "rip us off" is a little harsh. It's all about choices, not berating a service or business to this extent. Doesn't make good reading as there will always be fors and againsts. Be gentle, friends of Calis beach and beyond.

Glad your free advert paid off then, pretty shameless to boast about it though. I won't lock the topic, as I said I won't reply if you don't.
-
The point is that we were being led to beleive that we were getting a deal and actually we were not. CAZ35 thanks for your email let's just say that I am also surprised but just because I voiced my opinion does not mean that I am not a nice person it is possible to have an opinion, voice it and be a nice person:D

Good luck Caz, their loss not yours . Toky, glad someone else feels the same way as I do :) Anyway, thats my last word, Ill See you in August. :)..ps will I get my 10% discount:D:D:D:D:D only joking....
-
It's not our loss, we've all managed boat trips for years without this one. A "special price" offered to CBF members which is actually higher than the normal price could be considered a loss though, one that ain't going to happen :)
-
Thanks Toky for your post....probably get slaughtered for saying this now....and gorgeous bird as I just realised I know you through my last job (which is why I emailed you and nothing bad in the email I might add), and tried to get you rental bookings for your apartment, and even just wished you well on the email I sent you, shame you couldn't do the same for me....I hope you never have to increase your rental prices on your apartment!!! And crabbit whatever with your quotes, aren't you bored yet!! I am!!!
-
Just so the number of positive feedback becomes plural (i.e. people rather than person!!!) I would just like to add that me and my family had a great day out on the Afrodite at the end of May, Caz and husband were great hosts and the boat was spacious and clean. Don't know if we received the discount and don't care as what we paid was great value for money. Just about to send an email to book up our next trip, thanks Caz for a memorable day.
I think there are a number of people on this forum that have too much time on their hands!!!!
-
yes it was a higher price for PRIVATE boat trips, the daily trips and sunset cruise stayed the same.....I apologised for it, as I put the price and offered the discount without checking with my husband, and said I would still honour the previous price with the discount, so whatever!!! If you all managed your boat trips before Scunner, why are you getting so obsessed with slating ours!!! Go on your normal boat trips and enjoy yourselves.....and remember to apply plenty suntan cream...

She didn't quote a special discount then up her standard rate to make it higher overall though did she?

Maybe there are too many people on this forum who don't like cons. Keep posting, it keeps it in full view. I won't post anything, I'll only reply if there is anything needing replying to :D
-
I have just said I put the price on private trips, offered the discount, then had to increase it...I ain't lying and denying nothing, I apologised. What more do you want....blood????
-
To be honest I want you to belt up about it and let the topic die a natural death
-
are you threatening me Scunner....just lock it then....
-
Threatening!
Do me a favour lol you are starting to look ridiculous

maybee it was the doubledeckers who shot jr
com on get onboard with the doubledeckers :D:D:D :-\:P: :) ;)
-
Well Caz, pleased to say that all the negative feedback you received has in fact now turned into something positive, as I have now received two emails this evening from CBF members requesting photos so you see, it has all been worth while!! :) Wont say who they are, as they may not wish to become involved in this silliness....
-
Comments are really becoming personal now and that's not good.
Crabbit, I did follow it from the beginning since you are nit picking, but was on holiday for 2 weeks from 18th May so not able (or wanted to go online and comment). As caz35 said, do you want blood because the condemnation here IMHO is harsh whatever the "crime". Is there really no compassion for someone who has said sorry because they made a mistake and had the b4lls to admit as much or is there a personal vendetta to scupper someone and their business. I admire all the folks out there providing services,,,, waiting staff, restaurant owners, taxi/bus drivers, tour operators, farmers etc having to work in the immense heat for the good of others. I take my hat off to you all. I couldn't do it. :)
-
And happy to pay the special CBF rate, higher than the Joe Public rate? Good for them
-
sue mac ,why dont you post the pictures ,i'd like to see them
kanga
-
at last!!!! some support for the poor girl....get ready for the crowds Caz!! :) :) :) :)
-
I would if I could Kanga, I believe it takes forever to download them tho...but I will email you some if you like..
-
I'll upload them if you send them to me. Normally I charge £1 but the special CBF member rate is £2 (http://www.calisvilla.co.uk/laughing.gif)
-
Scunner, that's really sarcastic. That's not very helpful to make comments like that. Surely your point has been made by now. Please be kind.
-
My point was made weeks ago, and if they don't keep posting I won't post. Seems impossible though for them though.
-
email me some and i will post them for 50p
only joking ,would love to see them sue
-
"Chairman of the Bored" you are becoming incredibly boring.
-
Right, far be it for me to tell you what to do, but why don't you just lock it now, that way it will all blow over and no-one else get hurt or others fired up. I think anyone who has had an opinion either way has stated it now and it seems to be going over old ground now. Mind you, it's threads like this that makes forums really interesting but the ass has been kicked out of this one I think. Do you agree?
-
:D:D:D:D
Kanga consider it done....give me two minutes.. and why lock it now when the positive comments are now starting to outweigh the negatives??
-
Positive comments, you and the boat owner lol
Sorry to bore you Lamberts, don't stay on my account. No need to lock it, it will die a death when those two stop plugging away.
-
Sue mac that's not helpful either. You are turning it in to a competition and its not.
-
If supporting someone who is being unfairly treated is plugging away then I will continue to plug. If I had had a crap day on the boat, and felt it was a "rip off" then I would have been honest enough to say that too. But it wasnt...and I feel that people needed to know that, as the beginning of this topic would most certainly have put people off and not given them a chance of trying something new. As it is, by continuing to post, it has now resulted in some positive/supportive comments (not just from myself), and further enquiries from other CBF members...so even if the topic does die a death now, it will have been worthwhile plugging on behalf of Caz :) :) :)
-
You're right there...its not a competition. Please read my above post as to why it should continue...its to give people an alternative view, following some very harsh and ridiculous posts from the usual members.
-
no pics yet sue,

Hi Caz35,
A few questions. What is the name of your boat, what is the rate for private hire and do you do a normal dialy boat trip?
Is your boat in Fethiye or Calis?
All of this publicity has made me curious.
-
Do you want the rate for private hire or the higher rate, offered to CBF members?
-
Ok even I'm bored now hehehe
If you want details of caz's prices even though she tried to overcharge you all, contact her via her CBF profile.
Story over
