Hi Melisa we had a fabulous time on SUNWORLD 6. The meals were fantastic, we could not fault the chef. I would certainly do another trip at some time. Thank you for your help, especially getting our friends fast tracked through Kos so they could catch their flight. Hoping we can see you again on another cruise.
We enjoyed a magic week on Caner IV, our 2nd expedition sailing on Turkish Gulets with SJ Travel & Yachting. Turkey once again gave us idyllic conditions. We stopped at small villages for walks & some evening visits to enjoy the local hospitality, before moving on to the next beautiful lunchtime anchorage & then on again to our new night time location. Absolutely beautiful, magnificent scenery & amazing weather. It is a truly beautiful coastline! The service we enjoyed on Caner IV was as good, or potentially better, than anything any of us had experienced anywhere else before. As soon as you appear in the morning, you are greeted with warm smiles & your favourite beverage, instantly. Can�??t do much better than that in truly perfect conditions. Food & the whole crew were fabulous!
We had a very good time on Gusto. Kim and her team's organisation was perfect for the 6 of us, kids and adults, even taking care in advance of our food allergies and asking if there was any birthday to celebrate (which there was!). The Captain and the Cook on Gusto were helpful and skilled and Gusto was very comfortable. During this cruise we ate some of the best food we have ever tasted in Turkey! The weather was perfect, the atmosphere quiet, the landscapes incredible, the food excellent! We had exceptional moments on board. I recommend this to anyone needing a good break!
We recently returned from a wonderful week aboard 'Neptun' and I couldn't recommend it more. It was pure relaxation. The Datca peninsula is very unspoilt with lots of little bays and crystal clear water for swimming. Nazif our captain and the 2 lovely crew members were super friendly, and especially kind to our children (took them out fishing, showed them where an octopus was on the seabed, and drove the speedboat every day so my son learnt to water ski!). The gulet was immaculate and we enjoyed sleeping under the stars despite the bedroom cabins being comfortable. We felt very safe wherever we went including Bodrum. In fact sailing along Turkey's mainly uninhabited shoreline was probably one of the safest places to be in the world!

'What a wonderful experience it was aboard gulet AZRA CAN! Professional honest booking communication with Kim then greeted at the airport by Melisa who is fluent in English and has all the hospitality knowledge and skills topped with a wonderful personality. Melisa introduced me to the AZRA CAN Crew and that's when all the fun began. Yes, we had days full of fun and unforgettable memories, due to a fine Captain with a wealth of local sailing knowledge. The Crew showed great team work and superb hospitality with services of the highest standard. One thing I can confirm is that there was NO time during this trip aboard AZRA CAN that we felt unsafe or unsecure. My sincere thanks to all SJ Travel & Yachting Management and the Crew of AZRA CAN for a job well done.'
A few months ago I booked a cabin charter on a small gulet out of Turkey. Not knowing who, if anyone, would fill the other three cabins. Words cannot describe the amount of gratitude and admiration I have for my three shipmates. They are all gorgeous, smart, successful, and independent women who taught me so much about life on our week at sea. I will forever remember our amazing adventure together. Love to you all and I can't wait to see you next summer.
'The crew always went the extra mile, the food was delicious, every day we were amazed. Their service could not be improved upon. They and the organization of SJ Travel & Yachting were outstanding'
Hi Kim, We had a great time at Gumusluk, thanks so much for your help. It was great meeting old friends and indeed made some new ones. We shall hopefully be able to get there again later in the year when it is quiet and the weather still warm..Kind Regards
'Best crew ever! - top cook, excellent food. It was probably the best holiday of my life. This is a beautiful country with lovely beaches. I am so grateful to have seen some of these amazing spots'
