Dreamland

We had such a wonderful time, Kaptan Ibrahim and his crew made us feel pampered! That's what a vacation should be! I would definitely book this trip again. Like: The crew was wonderful. The food was very good. I appreciated the many stops we made. Dislike: The food although very good, was not what I thought was "deluxe" or "premium" for which we paid extra -- except for the one night of very delicious seafood choices -- that was excellent.
I did appreciate the stops we made very much, but sometimes I felt we could have found some quieter coves to actually overnight.

Loved it! Like: We had the trip off of a lifetime. The crew, captain, the food, the booking agents and of course the boat exceeded our expectations. We didn’t want it to end! Thank you

Our vacation was wonderfully relaxing and we will do it again. Like: We enjoyed our trip very much. The boat was beautiful and clean. The crew was wonderful -- very accommodating. The food was very good -- of course, we are all on diets now! The travel agents and agency were very efficient and organized -- I give them very high marks. Everything they promised, they did. We all feel we got very good value for our money. Dislike: The only thing we had any reservations about was the itinerary. It was fabulous and relaxing, but we would have liked to have made more port stops. We had asked to see more of Turkey -- the people and places -- and we wanted to get off the boat to explore. The coves where we did stop were quiet and relaxing -- we swam and explored the shoreline, but only made two stops that allowed us to see archaeological sites and interact with the Turkish people. We will do this again and use Guletyacht -- but will make sure we get the full itinerary arranged before we sail.

Our vacation was very relaxing and a lot of fun! Like: We very much appreciated the service offered by Hulya. Hulya was available at all times of the day and provided us with a great experience! The crew were very friendly throughout the trip. Dislike: The captain was not very keen on sailing a lot. He often took us to places that were not very beautiful and very busy. He didn't want to navigate certain places that we wanted.

We will be back! Like: This time it was really luxury! The Gulet - Dreamland - was well equipped, the cabins generous, the bathrooms really offer space and were cleaned daily on the finest and tidy. The chef is in a class of its own, the kitchen was very varied, there were several fish in excellent quality! The Kaptan is extremely friendly and accommodating and very competent. For us, it was an unforgettable week in the beautiful Turkish coastline. Dislike: The "endless search for a parking space" in the port of Bodrum at the end of the journey.

Great food, attentive service and very comfortable. Like: Size of boat, aft sleeping cabin, separate sleeping areas for two families.
Interior very well finished and boat felt well maintained.
Water sports Dislike: Noise in rear cabin while under motor.
Owners being on yacht at various times.
Going to port to pick up and drop off guests and taking time to get ready for the next charter week.
Having to pay cash on pick up of boat we need direct transfers in advance or credit card payments.

Nice but a little disappointing Like: I liked the beauty of the boat, the kindness of the crew and the beauty of Turkey. Dislike: I did not like the lack of organization of the agency vis-à-vis several points that I had asked and which were not respected.
I did not like the equipment for water sports either. The water skis were not suitable and of poor quality. The sailing plancha was nil.

The gulet tour in Turkey was outstanding. We both had a glorious time, and the crew, Captain certainly has a passion for his work. In addition, the food the crew prepared was superb. Everything about the trip was as wonderful as we had hoped. In fact, we would like to go on another tour with guletyacht.co.uk. All in all, the trip, and tour, was fabulous.

Dear Erkan, I just wanted to thank you and the crew at Dreamland for a very memorable cruise in the beautiful Turkish waters. We are all very satisfied and have recommended a Gulet Cruise and Ariva Yachting to all our friends and connections.
Although we read that all of you are facing challenges these days, we hope that there will be more normal times in the near future, and that we will see you all soon again.
All the best wishes for a continuous good summer and future from the Colletti Group

The boat itself was fantastic...
The food was delicious, the crew was capable and charming, the boat itself was fantastic. We enjoyed almost all the stops on our itinerary, balancing history with culture with local flair. The crew were fabulous in adjusting to our desire for a mix of relaxation, sport and excitement. Appreciated the linen changes and crew uniform changes and local cuisine and music. We will come again with friends and family.

Thank you very much Ariva Yachting for a wonderful experience. Mr Okumus, was incredibly helpful and assisted us during every step of the way. He is very informative and was very patient with all our questions and requests. The crew and boat that he suggested was exactly as we had hoped for and we were not disappointed at all. We had a wonderful time and the food and sites were wonderful. I will be recommending friends and family to speak with Ariva if they are planning a Blue Cruise.

We (2 families) of 10 adults and 3 babies under 2 years had a very, very nice, relaxing week on the yacht Dreamland. Our security concerns were unnecessary, because the railing was secured with a net and in proportion to other gulets our one was with a large foredeck gave the children enough run. At least 5 sitting and sleeping areas provided enough retreat. The crew - especially Ali ! - Is very friendly and helpful. The captain was very friendly to our needs regarding the route and the berths . The food was delicious without restriction. I even got a great Happy Birthday cake as a gift from the crew .
The Agency guletyacht - Erkan Ari - was very friendly and helpful. It was just strange that you stated sports equipment like surfboards as available on the Internet, although the yacht has only canoes on board and as we found later, in your own website this also indicates as correct. If we had known that, we would like to have ordered a surfboard separately. The Agency should perhaps specify the fringe benefits of gulets not all same but check individually for each gulet.
