The vacation was wonderful for us. We had the opportunity to actively shape the trip with the captain; The service was good - and we were an uncomplicated "team" - and that's what we want to be. We look forward to the next time and hope that a little is invested and the prices are right.
Like:
As discussed in detail, we would be happy to provide you, the owner of the Sultan and the captain with our summary of our trip.
As I said, we have now booked the Sultan for the second time, mainly because of the captain Mustafa but also because of the flybridge. For this we have also accepted a higher price compared to other gülets.
This time it wasn't just the captain who shone, but the entire team. The boss was better than last year, always put together high-quality, varied food and the cleanliness and attentiveness of all crew members were also perfect.
Since we already knew the route to D Maris and wanted to do it again, it was nice that Mustafa had selected other interesting bays for us.
Since I have sailed through Turkey, Greece and the Mediterranean with my own team for many years, I appreciate the importance of the quality of the team and agency. There are hardly any criticisms here. We properly discussed the points that needed to be improved or changed and found good solutions.
Result: We would be happy to come back if: The captain and crew compete with the same quality and the ship receives some upgrades.
Dislike:
- The start of our charter was disappointing due to the berth - far from Bodrum. This berth cannot be a charter port, but simply a waiting place outside of a charter. Problem was solved by later crossing to Bodrum.
- The gület needs a refit in several places. Worth mentioning here are teak work on the deck and railing, painting work on the hull, in the bathrooms (does it really need a whirlpool bathtub or wouldn't a large shower make more sense? Is the salon really suitable for charter guests to settle down there? Wouldn't be on the Fly another comfortable bench better than a whirlpool? The tender with 70 HP is too weak for water skiing (100 HP is actually standard), the beds in the 4 guest cabins are not really comfortable, should be converted into a double bed and the bedding can be improved.
- Unfortunately, the news didn't get through that we have a guest with lactose problems.
- It must be clear that the Sultan is about 15-20% more expensive compared to other comparable boats (which are also larger but do not have a flybridge).

A fantastically beautiful, relaxing week - you can't get more in a vacation than that.
Like:
The relaxed atmosphere, the very good food, the sundeck facilities, the anchoring and overnight stays in the bays, the very nice, attentive crew and the cleanliness on board.
Dislike:
For the 12 of us, everything was according to our expectations.

Highly recommend this Gulet, crew and route.
Like:
Overall the Gulet trip exceeded our expectations. The crew was great and super helpful, pandering to our every need. Captain Nuri plotted an interesting route and had us overnight in fabulous little wind protected bays. The food was awesome and couldn't be faulted; lots of choice for vegetarians as well as meat eaters in our group. The paddle boards and sea kayaks were great options when we were anchored.
Dislike:
Very little to complain about. If looking for perfection I would say that we would have preferred the air conditioning to run all night as it got hot when it was switched off.

Amazing Aegean experience. Highly recommended
Like:
The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent. The outside areas were amazing for lounging and there was plenty of snorkel equipment.
All 24 of us had an amazing time.
Dislike:
We had to take stairs to a dinghy to get in and out of towns. Fine for our group, but would be hard for people with accessibility issues. Some beds needed new mattresses, but still an excellent value for what we paid.
A white board with daily itinerary would have been helpful.

Excelent !!!!!!

We spent a wonderful time in Baba Can.
Perfect layout of the ship for sharing with friends, sun bathing, navigation times. Very comfortable ship.
We loved the ship bed rooms furniture, the amazing food, and the friendly relation with the captain and the crew. They care every moment for our comfortability.
Cleaning of the ship. Every day clean bath-sea towels. Every two days bath towels.
We have travelled in other ships and for us it has been one of the best.
Dislike:
The route. Would be better option in the future to choose a route with more stops in small harbour.
It was a weak point with oral communication although they did their best. They told us that next year more of them will speak English.
