CANER IV

Reia, the trip was awesome, and the crew was the best we have ever had for sure. Super clean and tidy boat all the time, very very stable, so very little rocking. All male crew (most have been together for a long time), Okan the butler is basically the treasure of it all. He has been with the company since he was 14 years old, and his wife works for the company. He is the only one that speaks fluent English and was absolutely fabulous. There are tons of Gulets so getting the right one was so important. The Chef was literally 5 star—he has been there since 2010. The best food we have ever had truly unreal. Presentation amazing… all super fresh. They had all the drinks and wines we requested on pref sheet. They physically lugged my Dad all over the boat and never once complained and never ever hesitated to help. Water sports guys were awesome. Snorkeling gear for adults and kids was in perfect shape (my son got a sinus infection so could not dive but they had a private tour arranged). They have tubes and a big water sofa, two tenders, a jet ski, kayaks and paddleboards. They readily take stuff on and off the boat whenever you want them to and all the way until 7-7:30 we would be in the water. Laundry was helpful. They do three main itineraries. The one we did is really about enjoying the water and cruising. There is one place to see, but it is not probably like Greece or Croatia where people are getting off and sightseeing. They do one itinerary which is two or three nearby Greek islands which do have sightseeing, but they told me it ups the price of the charter a lot. They also do one way down on the Lycean coast. I would love to go back. They have no white space in their calendar. When we left they picked up an American woman from NYC who has rented for two weeks for 5 years. They are 90% repeat guests, and they told me we were 1 of 4 new charters this week. There is a British couple who has reserved their time in September for the next three years. They already have 8 weeks of the summer booked next year. So I gather this is a popular crew and chef. For my taste July and August would be WAY too hot. They said September everyone loves but they charter all through October. Let me know if any other info would be helpful. I guess one final thought is if you had two families the way the boat is split is ideal. Three rooms in the bow with a master and three rooms in the stern with a master so very separated. Okay thanks again.

It was a fantastic trip. Thanks for all your help in organizing. The boat and the crew are the best. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about a charter. An experience we will no doubt repeat again at some point!!

Reia, my clients had only great things to say about the charter. They really loved every minute and said the crew were the best they had ever had. From all the work ahead of time to get alcohol and the limitations on procuring that, and the time you took communicating to all of us, the clients felt extremely taken care of and raved about the experience. One of the principal's guests contacted me 12 hours after boarding and said that he wanted to do this again with his family. Gulet CANER IV, Bodrum Turkish coast, May 2021.
