Ceo 3

Perfect week on the sea Like: We had a very nice week on Ceo 3 with a very friendly and attentive crew. The food was great and so was the Gulet. Dislike: waterski was broken

A wonderful holiday Like: It was a beautiful vacation !! Mr. Ari from the agency had everything perfectly organized! We were taken from the airport in a luxury vehicle to the harbor where the beautiful yacht lay. From here we have the unusually pleasant and nice crew spoiled. Despite some allergies and food intolerances among us in the group, the cook has managed to make us all really happy. Very, very delicious! So we spent a carefree time with water skiing, snorkeling, boating or just let your mind wander ..... just wonderful! Thank you! Dislike: We can not think of anything!

The travel was really nice and we will repeat next year same boat or any other as good as this that you recommend us Like: I loved the boat and the places we visited and the food was very good. Dislike: The crew can't speak good English, Captain English very bad. He was always in a hurry and to wake up early and noisy when they do it. First day we went to the boat at 4:30 because the bus came late to look for us, then we were waiting until 6:45 because they were point petrol for dingy, this should be done in advance and charge us after but boat must be ready to leave at 15:30 so we enjoy the first day. Next day 6:30 am but I think there was no need that early. I have friends who visited Seminya and Datca in the evening like 7. He brings us at 4:30 pm so too hot to walk and visit. He wanted to do all very early and Knidos was windy and he didn't stop and brought us in another place that was windy also, so we could not visit Knidos. Then the next stop near Bodrum where they are going to open 4 seasons, and nothing to see and we spent last day there. Early in the morning wake up we arrived at Bodrum at 8:50 so we could not enjoy swimming after breakfast Neither So we lost 2 days and many mornings up very early when it was not necessary He can sail meanwhile breakfast also. Sea was calm so I don't know why so early everything Another point is that breakfast has to be served with everybody sitting in the table. I said to prepare and after we wake up kids so we have to wait for 15 min sitting for breakfast so I don't think is nice neither. The Chef was very good but he said he was not told about birthday cake and he made in last minute one very good. In the menu we had a snack but I had to ask him every day to make a cake and the time he gives us was like-7:30 -8 pm so just before dinner so we kept as the dessert of the dinner. He made 3 cakes after telling him every day so I think every day he had to prepare without repeating. We are healthy and not too much-eating people so they could be happy. Captain said Sirribir 2 days later to buy wine, was not true we only used 1 bottle by 2 days later and beers the same so even we didn't finish the 7 bottles that we ordered. I asked for lots of fruit that normally must be in the table but every time I had to ask the crew to cut melon or watermelon because there were only 1 day 2 bananas. Food was really nice and yummy but repeat everyday yogurt for lunch and dinner so if he sees we don't eat I don't understand why he repeats everyday same plate. I think the crew should speak good English they are very limited in the language.

Enjoyed the gulet, crew, food, weather, idyllic bays the country of Turkey and her delightful people. Like: Fabulous holiday. CEO3 exceeded our expectations. Ideal accommodation for 6 men, wanting their own cabin. Gulet spotlessly clean and maintained to a high standard. Effortless cruising at 9 knots. Captain and crew very friendly and efficient. Particularly liked the way they appeared to like each other's company and worked together with a great team spirit. Cabins and beds tidied every day, towels changed halfway through the week. Chefs food is excellent and varied. He even caught an octopus, cooked and served- delicious! The younger crew showed that nothing was too much trouble, serving with good humor. The route suited us and we did everything that we could do in just a week. The captain's choice of pretty, sheltered anchorages was much appreciated The agency was good, particularly in the early days of booking, when Sirribir showed great patience. Dislike: Very surprised to be told on the 4th day that the wine had almost run out. A phone call to the agency, resulting in permission for the crew to buy emergency rations ashore saved the day.
All cabins would benefit from the installation of fans.
Enjoyed the short sail (not motoring). We really only sailed with the genoa, the main was a joke as it was permanently lashed amidships, incapable of easing the main sheet, only one batten and was in need of replacement. This did not detract from our holiday and perhaps I am being unfair as to sail properly would have meant a great deal of work dismantling awnings etc. If this was our main consideration then hire a yacht and not a gulet. CEO 3 was far more comfortable than any yacht and I find it impossible to find any real faults. At the agency level, I would prefer to pay by card and not by international bank transfer.

Dear Sirribir;
We would say that in the overall our journey was a success.
The crew´s attitude and professionalism was much appreciated. They were all very kind, dedicated and always ready to help us.
The boat quality was in line with our expectations, being the outside area better when compared to the interior (cabins, toilets and living area).
The chosen route was a major sucess.We loved the different bays, ports and general landscape of all journey.
The food was a very good surprise although the first days were better than the last two days. The chef is excellent…good choice.
As minor remarks we could suggest;
- One of the crew members should be available during the meals (after serving, the crew was having its own meal, leaving then the guests with no immediate service) – Nevertheless, they were always quite aware of all of our eventual need for further service and would make themselves immediately available whenever necessary.
- Too old ou damaged equipment, such as the swim glasses, the ski equipment and other minor facilities
- The small motor boat (dingy)which had a bad performance on the 4th night, could have been a major problem, fortunately was solved.
As a conclusion, the group was unanimously in rating the trip as a major success.
We will definitely recommend your firm to our friends.
Well done.
Best regards
The Portuguese group

Deck was cleaned every day, the cabins (bathroom, toilet, etc.) unfortunately never. Otherwise, we had a very nice time on the gulet. The crew was great! Very outgoing, friendly and warm. Thanks to them we had such a nice time.

Except for the sanitary facilities (drain !!), the very economical use of the air conditioning and the broken TV (football World Cup), the trip was wonderful. The deck of the CEO III is ideal for a trip in good weather. The supervising crew was perfect.

We really enjoyed our week on gulet. Murat and his crew were exceptionally attentive and hospitable and made our cruise a very relaxing experience. This was our first time on a gulet with children and our worries about safety and boredom were completely unfounded. The children were always occupied and happy, either swimming in the bays, playing on canoes, being towed on the banana or rings, playing games in the shade and best of all trying food that we could never tempt them with at home!

Perfect trip, super organisation, very friendly crew... Everything was amazing!

It was all perfect. Great crew, delicious food. The only suggestion would be to note that it would be better not to cut the whole bread, but kept in plastic bags and only to be cut if it is necessary – then it would not be so dehydrated on the second day! But this is really just a piece of advice - it was always still enjoyable!

The boat cruise on the Ceo 3 surpassed our expectations, our crew was good humoured and attentive, the food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, and the scenery was pristine and beautiful. Our agent (Erkan Ari) was very helpful, he answered all our emails promptly and was always available, he went out of his way to make the trip unforgettable for all of us. I recommend this agency and the Ceo 3 without hesitation, it was truly an unforgettable experience, one we hope to repeat in years to come.
