    We rented a yacht for one day in July. We booked at the last minute, confirmation came very quickly. Farouk and his team were very friendly and helpful, and organized a seaside lunch for us right on board (at an additional cost). Thank you, we recommend!

    Faruk was a very attentive and kind host. Everything was on time, insturctions were clear. We enjoyed our trip to Bosphorus: super nice city views from water. The yacht itself is a but dated and used, but imo it is included to the price tag, since this yacht is big enough to accomodate 15 people Water in Bosphorus wan't that clean, so I'd recommend to go to islands if willing to swim

    Excellent service, Faruk treated us very well and was always aware of what we needed, very good service. I would have liked the boat to have sunbathing mats. But he didn't have a very good day either.
