F. F. Agent-Gulet Kayhan 11

Please forgive me for taking so long to write to you. I feel awful because I'm sure you were hoping to hear from me earlier, apologies.
Well, it was a fantastic success! Everything went like clockwork, the agent who et us and briefed us back on the boat was good. The boat surpassed our wildest dreams, it is really lovely, and the crew were brilliant, there wasn't much communication as their English ranged from basic to none but one called Jay spoke English and that was a great help. The Captain was very good, he spoke enough English to tell us where we were going. He fulfilled our brief of getting away from the crowds into secluded bays and he found us some lovely places to moor. He also went above and beyond by sending the youngest crew member Alpi out in the motor boat to find 2 of our teenagers who had stayed out all night in Kalkan  and got them back to the boat before we sailed at 6am!!
We had 5 crew altogether, I was expecting three, so'we were very spoiled, bliss.The chef produced 3 wonderful meals a day and we all enjoyed Turkish cooking, it is so fresh and healthy and although we ate masses we didn't get too fat. At night they always BBQ'd over the edge of the boat.
I loved the way the boat was laid out with so many different area to swim and sunbathe or just lie in the shade and read.The night of the birthday celebration the crew really did us proud and made the table look really festive and served us with great style.
Jay and the Captain went out of their way to please us and they found lovely places for us to go and the whole crew were extremely kind and helpful, especially with little Eliza who can't walk.The railings round the boat made it feel very safe so the was no need to wear life jackets  at all, just as well in that heat.
No complaints, it was all wonderful, the heat, the silence, the clear blue water the views,I miss it!
So finally, a big thank you to you, Reia, for arranging every thing so well for us and being so kind, patient and efficient.
Best wishes from us all,
Patricia.
