Maybe we see each other another time or somewhere else?
We wish you save boat trips and all the best. Dear Kazim and Nora, (with copy to
Barbaros Yachting, because of the luxury boat we finally got and which we really
enjoyed) That was a really great time on your boat "Richmond III".
We still miss that boat trip, because it was so special and you were all so kind.
This was a holiday we will never forget.
Our son Jasper promised you to send some pictures.
I can send you a few for instance with the big fish that Kazim catched en Nora showed.
The group photos with our family and the complete crew are on the camera of our son Daan.
Later on he will send you these.
Maybe we see each other another time or somewhere else?
We wish you save boat trips and all the best.
Thanks again for the fantastic trip and service.
Met vriendelijke groeten, Ron Cordemeijer

Hi Erhan! I am finally back home and
catching up with having been away for 3 ½ weeks. I wanted to thank you
very much for an extraordinary sailing trip. We had such a great time
and very well looked after by the Captain, Thomas and Mehmet. Despite
the storm on our first night – Sept 20, our weather was good until the
last day. The food was amazing and enjoyed very much by each and every
one of us. The crew even caught dinner for us one day!
You should be very proud of your crew and
we were so impressed that we all want to come back in 2 – 3 years to
repeat it. Some things can’t be repeated, but we are willing to try.
Once again, thank you so much. We would be pleased to act as a
reference should you ever need one from Canada. Otherwise, please don’t
hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance in any way. Enjoy your
upcoming break!

Erhan Bey merhaba;
07-13 Ağustos tarihinde yapmış olduğumuz mavi tur ile ilgili izlenimlerimi paylaşmak istedim.
Turdan 1 gün önce ayrıldığımız için turla ilgili görüşlerimizi yazabildiğimiz formu doldurmadık çünkü.
Turun ilk gününden son dakikasına kadar çok keyifli vakit geçirdik. Tura katılan kişilerin hiçbiri birbirini tanımamasına rağmen 5 farklı milletten oluşan 12 kişi 7 gün boyunca harika vakit geçirdik.
Bunun yanında her gün ayrı lezzetli yemekleri yapan 2. kaptanımız Asım Bey ve kaptanımız Mustafa bey ile yardımcıları Murat Bey’den de son derece konuksever bir hizmet gördük.
Kısaca en başda tereddütlü çıktığımız bu turda harika vakit geçirip bir çok ülkeden de yeni dostlar edindik.
Bu turun organizasyonunu yapan firma olarak da size ayrıca teşekkür etmek istedim.
En kısa sürede farklı bir rotada aynı tarz bir turu tekrarlamak dileğiyle ....
Barbaros Bey ve Nazlı Hnm. da teşekkürlerimi iletirseniz memnun olurum.
İyi günler;

Dear Mr. Aykut
I just wanted to
say a huge big thank you to you and Barbaros Yachting for the fantastic service we receive
from the first email to the time we disembarked from your
boat.
Our trip on your gullet was an experience none of
us will ever forget and the 'little extras' you provided so
effortlessly are much appreciated. The staff on board the
gullet the fantastic - attentive, caring and always just
waiting to answer our every need.
A special thanks to
Memet Snr who provided fantastic and healthy meals out of the
tiny and very hot kitchen, Memet Jnr for the all the cleaning
and endless round of drinks of and of course our very capable
captain - JJ - who took us through some tricky situations to
say the least. The crew were pleasant and caring and just knew
how to be there but not be intrusive.
I would highly
recommend you and your company to anyone who intends hiring a
gullet for a holiday and would happily give a testimonial to
anyone who asks.
Many thanks for making my sons' 21st
birthday holiday so special - as you know we thoroughly
enjoyed the belly dancer you arranged at such short
notice.
Kind regards and once again a huge big
thanks

week aboard La Mer in July 2005

Dear Barbaros,
Just a quick email to say a very big “THANK YOU” for putting
your time
effort and expertise into making Jessica’s (and her friends)
holiday on your gulet.
Such a memorable experience – they all had a really
fantastic time, loved the boat thought the food was excellent (very important…) and the
crew friendly and helpful.
They all said it was one of the best holidays they have ever
had.
We would be very happy to recommend you to our friends.
Thanks again and we hope to be able to take a boat ourselves
one of these days…..
With best wishes

Erhan,
We enjoyed our trip on the Comez.
Thank you for your assistance with the arrangements.
The crew did an outstanding job helping us feel comfortable, the food was very good.
Our only problems were:
- We wanted to sail more
- The "coves" became boring and we wanted to see more towns
Please share our photos with the crew:

Our experience:
We would like to emphasize that from
arrival until departure the whole trip was extremely well
organized and arranged; pick up at airport, reception at hotel
with room available to freshen up during our waiting time
before boarding, lunch, transport to boat, were very helpulf
and considerate.
The reception on boat by crew was very
warm, personal and helpful. The crew of Temelreis-3 explained choices for
departure which were left up to us, no pressure not throughout
the whole trip.
They accomodated us in any way and we can't
emphasize enough how helpful and warm the crew was to us. The
meals were every time a big suprise and delicious, to say
nothing of the fantastic presentation!! The cleaning of the
bathrooms was done at times so that it was no inconvenience to
us, crew kept the boat tidy and clean. Trip was fantastic we
got to see wonderful spots and we all felt sorry when we had
to return. Sadly we said goodbye to the crew, but we were
happy to have had such a wonderful experience for our first
boat trip
We are so enthusiastic that we encouraged quite a
number of friends to book this kind of trip. We are going
Again in 2006 with friends from the U.S.A. who after having
seen our pictures and heard the stories immediately were up
for making a booking.
See you again in 2006 and thank you
so much for a wonderful vacation.

It is a pleasure for me to compliment you for the personal
service that you provided to my wife and I.
The cruise
that we booked through you was a new experience for us, so we
were unsure of what to expect. The time you spent with us made
us comfortable with our choice, and the charter cruise you
arranged on the Temel Reis III was an experience we will
cherish for a lifetime.
The boat was basic but
comfortable, and the route, which was unplanned, took us to a
series of beautiful bays and islands in the Gulf of Gokova. We
dined on exquisite traditional Turkish cuisine prepared with
fresh ingredients. The crew went fishing daily and we dined on
the catch of the day. Marvellous.
With out a doubt the
highlight was our crew. Our captain Yavuz Kose, the chef
Serkan, and young Erman, kept us laughing and stuffed with
food and drink for every minute of our seven day cruise. If
there was one factor that made our vacation special it was the
care and attention of these wonderful people.
My wife
and I would reccomend you, your company Barbaros Yachting, and
the charter cruise holliday to anyone, as a wonderful
experience and a very good value. We are already considering
another trip next year.

Salute to Capitan Yavuz Kose and Cook Serkan Babayigit (nicknamed Captain
Cook by our group).
Along with Barbaros Yachting they were responsible for one of the most
enjoyable weeks we as a family with our in law children have had in our
lives.
This was a dream come true to us as we have been dreaming about this
cruise for 6 years as we did plan a similar trip 6 years ago, but had to abandon
it as 2 of the couples pulled out. My first contact with Boating Turkey for this
trip was already in May last year and I had a very responsive feedback from
Necmi on every e-mail that I have sent to him. He was very helpful in assisting
us in all the arrangements.
Due
to a limited budget we chartered the smallest boat that we could get hold of,
but we were pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness of the interior of the
boat. The two smaller cabins were a bit uncomfortable but fine for the two
younger couples in our group. We fortunately experienced excellent weather and
could therefore spend all the time on the deck. Gathering as a family on the
foredeck while cruising was a real family binding experience.
Our
captain and chef were excellent hosts as they were always there but never
intruding into our privacy despite the limited circulation space. Yavuz gave us
a feeling of having everything under control at all times even during a very
rough spot on the open sea when we were cruising against a very strong wind.
Compliments to our wonderful chef Serkan who had the ability to prepare the most
wonderful meals in his small kitchen. Lunch and dinner was always a pleasant
surprise with the fresh fish speared by then at night something very
special.
Even to us as South Africans with a very weak currency the trip was very
affordable and goes highly recommended.
Perhaps to mention two minor items of critique.
- The ladies in our group would have preferred mooring in
the harbour of a small Turkish village say every second night as they found it
to be very secluded on the boat at night. The men on the boat preferred the
quietness of being all on our own at night and were actually very perturbed one
evening when the stillness of the night was spoiled by a “party boat” next to
us.
- We were of the opinion that the drinks on board were
very expensive. We trust that Yavuz and Serkan did also share in the mark up on the drinks as we believe it to
have been as much as 500% plus on for example the wines. If not we will
definitely negotiate with you on the principle of not being allowed to bring our
own drinks on board the next time around.
But
for this it was an unforgettable week on the Turkish
coast.

In mei 2005 hebben wij een Bleu Cruise geboekt via Sun Travel en kwamen terecht op La Mer. We hebben een geweldige vakantie gehad! Net wat we op dat moment nodig hadden. Lekker dobberen op zee, mooie plaatsjes bezoeken, een heel geweldige groep medepassagiers waarmee we uren gekletst hebben en een prachtige tocht naar het schildpaddenstrand in Dalyan. Maar de meeste indruk hebben op ons wel gemaakt de avond swingen in een disco in een van de haventjes (super gezellig en prachtige Turkse dansen) en een dag op ruwe zee waarbij we eindelijk echt konden zeilen. Heel indrukwekkend!
Het inrichting van de boot is niet super de luxe, hou rekening met een kleine hut en een kleine badruimte maar de sfeer aan boord en de service maken dat zeker goed.
Veel dank dus aan kapitein Ceyhun voor zijn vakkundige leiding en zijn prachtige verhalen over de geschiedenis van Bodrum, de sterren en zijn ervaringen op zee en natuurlijk voor de uitbundige viering van mijn verjaardag. Veel dank aan kok Mehmet voor zijn overheerlijke maaltijden en maatje Mehmet voor zijn geduld, zijn gastvrijheid en zijn eeuwige smile.
We hebben zo van deze trip genoten dat we in september 2005 de hele tocht nog eens hebben overgedaan. Wederom zijn we als herboren teruggekomen.
Een aanrader dus en dit jaar gaan we zeker terug naar Bodrum om de tocht nogmaals te maken!

In juni 2005 hebben wij een Blue Cruise geboekt bij D-reizen, de gület was de Cey van Barbaros Yachting. Ik kan geen minpuntje bedenken, alles was geweldig,
de hutten zijn klein, maar je hoeft bijna niets mee te nemen, badkamer/toilet is ook klein, als je doucht is alles in het toilet nat, maar wie maakt zich daar nu druk om. Ben je aan een rustvakantie toe dan is dit de remedie, vanaf dag 1 denk je nergens meer aan en via D-reizen was het niet eens duur. Wij hebben geen full-board genomen = drankjes inclusief, kostte € 150,-- p.p. voor een week, is veel te veel, wij hebben samen € 120,-- betaald aan de kapitein voor alle drankjes in die week en dat waren er niet weinig, water kostte 50 Eurocent. Met je reisgenoten moet je het treffen, wij hebben het supergezellig gehad, o.a. Amerikanen en Italianen.

We kunnen het maar moeilijk onder woorden brengen hoe we deze cruise hebben ervaren. Ik probeer het toch maar. Het was in één woord fantastisch. De zee, zon, de mooie baaien, snorkelen, slapen op het dek, wakker worden met de zon in je gezicht. 's nacht kijken naar de prachtige sterrenhemels, heerlijk eten en dat alles met geweldig leuke medepassagiers en vriendelijke bemanning. Inderdaad een unieke ervaring zoals het in de Oadbeschrijving wordt weergegeven.

Dear Erhan,
Thank you very much for your very
professional organization of our blue voyage. From the first
e-mail you understood our needs and found for our family the
best possible gulet. We enjoyed it thoroughly: the itinerary,
the crew, the food, the cruise companions and we appreciated
your assistance before and after the cruise. The Okan was
clean and comfortable and its Captain made us always feel
safe. We definitely recommend Barbaros Yachting and we will ask
you to organize for us another cruise soon!

Daily Trip
Me and my family were going to take a
Windstar cruise in early July this year. One of the ports of
call was Bodrum. Reading about the place and its tourist
attractions, we decided to rent a gullet for the day. I am
sure now that our decision could not be better. It was a most
relaxing trip, in a typical boat, huge and comfortable,
swimming in clear waters with no hurry at all. The crew
members were very kind and helpful, and they cook wonderful
meals. Everything was really well organized. Since I had
arranged the gullet rental through an Internet site, having
paid for their services in advance, I knew I was taking my
chances. Specially because we would just have some hours in
Bodrum, and it would be hard to rearrange the rental on the
spot. I had no need to worry, the boat was waiting for us,
corresponding in every detail to what they proposed us in
their e-mail. We will certainly use Barbaros Yachting services again if we are fortunate enough to visit this
wonderful Turkish beach once more in the
future.
