Gulet Escapes are Heaven on the High Seas.
Our trip - involving eighteen people flying in from multiple destinations at different times - was flawless from the point of booking to the point of departing the boat.
I will really struggle to give them credit.
We chartered Prenses Selin in October 2022 with eighteen people aged from three to fifty three and everything from eleven, sixteen, twenty and forty in-between. The trip was perfect for everyone.
Our boat was large and comfortable with multiple places to relax and sunbathe, comfortable beds, plenty of storage and remarkable stability even when underway. Nothing - literally nothing - was too much for the crew.
We moored in the best bays for snorkelling and space, never wanted for a cup of coffee or a drink and our cabins were cleaned daily.
The food was spectacular. Four meals daily - with assorted dishes to meet everyone’s needs: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner cooked absolutely fresh with more than we could collectively consume. We never saw the chef he was always in the galley whipping up another masterpiece. Fresh fish and seafood, salads, a variety of meat dishes - beef, chicken and lamb - pastas, rice and potatoes, gorgeous desserts, cakes, pancakes, eggs and omelettes, breads and sauces, stews and soups. The captain cooked a barbecue on the bow two nights.
Ahmet, who runs the UK side of the business is a pleasure to deal with. A whatsapp group is created with reps on the ground to organise excursions and transfers ahead of the trip.
Turgay, Mehmet, Murat, Ferro and Omar were the most wonderful team backed up by Melissa and Deniz.
The cruising location is nothing short of paradise: breathtaking green bays teeming with marine life and heavy with the fragrance of pine and woodsmoke. Glorious sunsets and shimmering seas.
Our Captain areanged an excursion up the Dalyan river to see Lycian ruins, enjoy mud baths and have lunch ashore. We had an hour with majestic turtle playing around our boat.
I have always been a fan of Turkey, I find the people warm, respectful, hospitable and gentle. The men adore children and even young men dote on them. It was a privilege to share this vessel with such lovely people.
This holiday is an affordable taste of luxury an unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend more highly.
Just make sure you save a boat for me!! - via
