We had a fantastic trip with Sanda Yachting. We were 9 persons ranging in age from 84 to 12. We did 10 days on the Turquoise Seas with an amazing crew, Captain Ali, Salim, Chellal and Suleiman took amazing care of us, and were so kind and friendly and wonderful. The food cooked by Suleiman was absolutely amazing...three meals a day of wonderfulness! Captain Ali took us to so many lovely bays where we anchored the boat and swam and snorkeled and then rocked to sleep at night. Also Kamil in the main office was wonderful to work with when organizing the trip. He answered every question I had thoroughly and helpfully. Overall the whole trip was just lovely and I highly recommend Sanda Yachting.
A few tips that might be useful to you...the boat does have AC but it is powered by a generator that cannot run all night (and its noise would detract from the loveliness of listening to the water at night) so after the AC goes off about midnight, the cabins can be a bit warm for sleeping. I slept on the deck and that was just lovely and plenty cool, but some of the older people in our group did not feel comfortable doing that. I suggest to bring a small fan that is battery powered/low wattage to make sleeping in the cabins more comfortable.
Lots of the beaches we went to were rocky, and I was very grateful to have brought sturdy swim booties for walking on them.
When choosing an itinerary, you can essentially go east or west from Marmaris. We chose to go west on the Dacia peninsula, which as I understand is a less commonly chosen route. Well...it was wonderful. The first week we had most of the anchorages to ourselves. In the last few days there was a Muslim holiday and Turkish school got out, and things got a big more crowded, and that made me even more grateful that we chose the less crowded direction. I think perhaps there is less to see in the western direction, but since we were much more interested in swimming and relaxing, this suited us just fine. There is an interesting archaeological site, Knidos, in this direction, and several towns that have restaurants and shops near the water.

As part of a tour of Turkey, a 3 day cruise on a Gulet was one part. After 6 days on the coach it was a pleasant break to go on this cruise. All on board agreed that this is a five star cruise as it was sensational. From the captain taking us to secluded bays out of the breeze, to sensational meals and great staff, this we would do again. If you are looking for a quiet trip around the Mediterranean, this is recommended.

We had the best time with Sanda Yachting!
The boat was lovely, our rooms were quite spacious for a boat and the sun beds were perfect for sun bathing and napping 😍
We had Sadık and Erdal as our captain and chef. Sadık was the perfect hype man. Super attentive, wants everyone to have the best time possible and delivers whatever you need.
Erdal was the best cook and always put so much effort into our food. The food was AMAZING, every meal was delicious and healthy.
We celebrated two birthdays on the boat and the crew made them so special. The cake was perfect, the party vibes were epic and the days were so much fun.
The locations we visited were beautiful and watching the sunrise in the mornings was such a treat.
It was perfect week of relaxing, catching some rays, swimming and partying with a brilliant crew.
Highly recommend!

A week at sea in Göcek gave us great memories to remember for years. It was so peaceful, relaxing and fun. Every part of Göcek was like a scene from a painting. We were a group of ten people. The boat we used named Sumru Sultan was more than enough for 10 people, also the crew and Hasan Captain was very professional, helpful and kind. Captain knows the region very well, therefore we managed to find good spots although it was crowded. I want to thank Sanda Yatching for this great trip to happen, thank you.

It was our first Gulet trip on the sea. Me and my wife enjoyed soo much. We went a lot of nice pleaces for swiming, diving and tking sunbath with our Gulet. Pleaces were very clean and many tones of blue. Beautiful nature. Small places, ports, islands, animals etc.
We also visited small towns as Sogut, Selimiye, and Bozburun. There were a lot of Fish restaurants and local ice cream shops. We went one time at Denizkizi fish restaurant in Sogut. We went two times ice cream shop Delikeçi in Sogut, Tekin Usta in Selimiye.
Captain Cetin is experienced a marin captain and he is a very professional and kind person.
Cook Remzi is cooking delicious foods and he is a teacher winter time and teaching cooking at the hotel managment College. Be carrefull while eating taste foods. You can take weights. He is giving fully food and drink service 24 hours, if you want.
Cabin crew Akin is a hard working person. He loves his job. He is studying at a Marin University.
All of them were centelmen and helpfull to us.
You must go with your family or your known friends. Rooms are small, if you claustrophobic person, you may have problem in the boat.

Beautiful vessel, big and comfortable. 8 cabins with all necessary amenities: shower, toilet, clean bed and an airco. 2 cabins have extra large windows. There’s plenty of space for sun bathing and sleeping outside under the sky and stars. On the vessel you can find professional kitchen, including dining table for 16 persons, with sofas. Complete catering. We were sailing between different marvelous Marmaris bays for 3 days and slept 2 nights on this vessel. We had a very professional crew – captain Hasan, sailor Sadik and cook Ertan. The whole crew is really client and service oriented and of course professional. Our cook surprised us every day with some new and tasty dishes that he served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He even baked buns on board so we enjoyed fresh and tasty pastry in the morning, waking up by the cinnamon aroma. Captain was surprising us every day by his sailing skills and selection of beautiful bays. Sadik (almost a captain) was helping us with everything and fulfilled all our requests during our trip. We were celebrating my birthday, so before we departed from the port I went to the local market to buy some fresh products and also discussed menu and my wishes with our cook. Everything was ready in time and was very delicious. We’d definitely like to stay more and I’m certain that we will return again some day. I can wholeheartedly recommend this crew and company that rents these vessels.

Sadik and the crew, were brilliant and really made our trip along the Turkish coast one of the best holidays we have ever had. We spent 6 nights on the boat and travelled from Fethiye to Demre and back. The meals on board were delicious and good portions. There was plenty of space on the top deck to relax when the boat was travelling and the cabins were a good size.

We had an incredible week on the Sanda yacht. We spent the week exploring little towns along the coast, sleeping under the stars on the boat deck and swimming and snorkeling at every opportunity. Sardic (The captain) was fantastic, always helpful and made sure we where all happy and enjoying ourselves. Shoutout to Arifcan for all your help, laughs, fantastic drink making and great dance moves. The food that the chef Erdal made for all our meals was absolutely delicious. Would 10/10 recommend a trip to turkey on the Sanda Yacht. Thanks again to all the crew that made our trip so memorable, fun and happy. You will all be missed.
