Customer Reviews, gulet charter sailing Turkey & Greek islands

If you're looking for a week of fun with a group of mates then Salamander has it all. Beautiful weather, sports activities and comfortable accommodation (though I'd recommend sleeping on deck, much more authentic!). Sing & dance long into the night and spend the day swimming in clear blue water with an excellent crew to look after you. Highly recommended!

The result of accepting an invitation from Peter Cooke to join his friends aboard ‘Salamander’ proved to be an unexpected delight for Catherine and myself.The traditional Turkish Gulets are influenced by the nautical history of the region and present a very much simpler vessel than the yachts I have been creating. ‘Salamander’s’ internal and deck space offer a wonderful vessel for exploring the fascinating and historic coastline out of the port of Bodrum.This is a water experience not to be missed.

I went on a gulet holiday once and hated it. I swore I’d never go on another. Seven days cooped up with a crew whom I think wanted to kill us.   And then I was press-ganged onto Salamander and …
Chomp, chomp (gulet holidays) chomp (horrible crew) chomp.    That’s me eating my words on gulet charter, by the way. 

You simply cannot have a more relaxing, action-packed, pandered-upon holiday than this…
Actually, I may as well keep eating my words, because I really can’t come up with sufficient superlatives for the whole Salamander gulets Turkey experience.
So I suggest you just go for it…

A note after the second of the two weeks that we spent on your lovely gulet Salamander. We, and all our guests, enjoyed ourselves greatly. Lots of things contributed to this happy state of affairs but the attentiveness and the efficiency of the crew laid the foundation. Kasim, Mustafa, Kabil and Ibrahim really worked hard to look after, feed and "water" us. Kasim spread a cool effciency over everything and his choice of anchorages could not be faulted. All of this was complimented by Gokhan's seamless organisation between shore, boat, hotel and airport.  It was a great holiday and a tribute to your organisation.

We had a fantastic week on board. It was our first experience of gulet holidays and I sincerely hope it wont be the last! The scenery was stunning, really beautiful, reminded me of the west coast of Scotland (on a sunny day of course!). 
The staff were brilliant, couldnt do enough to help us and the food was superb, so fresh and tasty, and so much of it! The wine as recommended by yourself was excellent.
The crew kept the boat immaculate! Nothing was too much trouble for them, their manners were perfect. They must have thought we were the laziest people in the world - please tell me we are not the only ones!
