june 2016 gulet holiday
Our summer holiday in Turkey ; Huseyin coordinated was a gulet tour. This is an experience that is not to be missed when you come to Turkey in the summer. You must take advantage of the Mediterranean. Beautiful, turquoise water that you can see thru to the bottom. two men man the ship and are attentive to all your needs. We were only able to do the the weekly cruise, which offered a number of stops everyday along the way for swimming, snorkeling and general relaxation beginning saturday and car transfer services start from airport. Delicious food was offered on board at all times.<br />
They also offer Greek islands trips that I am seriously considering taking advantage of in the near future. The same boat that 3-4 day trips also serves as your vessel for these longer trips - spacious, clean and well maintained. I would love to come back.<br />
HIGHLY recommend Karia boat<br />

weekly gulet rental 2016
From the minute we arrived in Bodrum we were treated like family by Huseyin and Captain Akif. My wife and I chartered a 7 day private Gulet cruise through Huseyin, given this was our first time traveling to Turkey we had some difficulty figuring out where to begin with chartering a private gulet. Luckily we found Onelli tour and from the minute we landed in Bodrum everything was taken care of from transfers to food to the gulet itself. <br />
<br />
We embarked on our 7 day Gulf of Gokova cruise from Bodrum harbor, there we were met by Huseyin and our amazing captain and cook who was a lovely meals. Huseyin made sure we were comfortable from the minute we arrived and made sure we understood the route and were satisfied with everything before we pulled up anchor. It was surreal once we left Bodrum as the water is so clear and beautiful and scenery has a calm relaxing appeal. After a few hours it was clear to us that Captain Akif was extremely skilled, easy to see he was raised on the sea and with over 15 years as a Captain our minds were at ease.<br />
<br />
Simply put the week was magical, the cruise itself is so beautiful but what made our trip special was the willingness of Captain Akif to make sure we were treated no less than royalty. He briefed us on our sailing route every morning while we had breakfast, our cook was an amazing cook and I have missed his cuisine since we left. Our menu for the week was nothing short of perfect - everyday we had an expansive Turkish breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner...all phenomenal.<br />
<br />
To our amazement several meals comprised of fresh fish came from Captain diving and hunting for fresh fish on several occasions. Nothing says service like hunting for fresh fish in the open sea for a few hours...unbelievable. Every meal was better than the last and we were always served with a smile by the Captain and his amazing cook Nevzat. Every evening Captain Akif would grill our main course which was an added bonus. In total we visited 4 countries on this trip and Nevzat cooking was some of the best we experienced on our entire trip...so good and fresh. <br />
<br />
The accommodations on our gulet, M/S Karia , were very comfortable and the deck was expansive and wonderful to relax over a book or glass of wine. The boat was impeccably clean and the size was perfect for the 2 of us and our crew for the week. Our days were filled with swimming and snorkeling and we spent a few nights sleeping on the deck under the stars. Captain Akif always found the best bays to anchor and we were rarely accompanied by more than one sometimes no other boats for the night which made the trip even more relaxing.<br />
<br />
One of the most memorable trips we have taken, I can't say enough about our crew and how wonderfully we were treated...we truly felt like family by the end of our journey we were sad to go. Spending a week at sea in a land far away seemed like an interesting proposition prior to but after we can say that booking with Huseyin and Captain Akif made the trip easy and straight forward. Although it was nice to unplug from phones/internet etc. the Captain had wifi on board in case we needed it. Everything from the food to our transfers to/from airport to the scenery was perfect, truly unique experience. We will be back again. <br />
