Everything was wonderful; we would like to extend our special thanks to Serap (our cook), Captain Emre, and Utku (our deckhand)—it was a fantastic vacation.

It offered a very good balance of price and performance. They assisted with provisioning, and the menus were exactly to our liking. The captain did an excellent job guiding us regarding daily routes and the choice of bays. Our captain did his utmost to ensure our comfort. The deck beds were quite comfortable, and the linens were clean. There were generally no issues with flies or bees in the area, so we slept very soundly at night. The boat's bathroom was very small and showering was a bit difficult, so we couldn't take a proper shower during the trip itself; however, on the last day, they hosted us on another one of their boats, and we were able to shower before disembarking. Unfortunately, the stand-up paddleboard was missing its fin, so I couldn't enjoy using it. This was our first gulet experience; however, the constant smell of fuel was quite bothersome—I suppose this is due to the boat being a gulet or perhaps its age. If you don't set your standards too high, it makes for a very enjoyable boat trip. Personally, I believe the captain and the crew you spend time with are what matter most. Thank you very much for everything; hope to see you again in the coming years.

This was our fifth trip organized through Serra and viravira, and once again, we had a wonderful time. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the crew was excellent at their job.

We—three families of brothers-in-law, with an average age of 65—wanted to go on a holiday in Göcek, and we found this boat through the Viravira website. At first, we were a bit apprehensive about the trip due to our age, as we were traveling with this crew for the first time. However, the three wonderful young crew members welcomed and hosted us beautifully. They made us happy every single minute we were on board. Captain Samet was more like a gourmet chef than just a captain; he served us the best mezes I have ever tasted. And the seafood casserole he prepared—words simply cannot describe it. I also have to mention the crispy fried zucchini; if you travel on this boat, be sure to ask Captain Samet for it. His partner, Captain Can, is such a wonderful person, too—as is Naz, our young lady from Rize. May God bless them all and grant them smooth sailing in life. All three families were delighted; we shared the best four days of our lives together. May God bless these young people's paths...

Our four-day blue cruise along the Söğüt, Selimiye, Kocabahçe, and Dirsekbükü route was, in a word, flawless from start to finish. The crew’s warmth, professionalism, passion for their work, and consistently friendly demeanor made us and our children feel right at home; we truly lost track of time. Beyond the comfort, cleanliness, and orderliness of the boat, we will also never forget the delicious meals prepared for us. We gathered unforgettable memories along a truly peaceful route. Melek, Sercan, Kemal, and the Captain... Thank you all, and may you have fair winds and smooth sailing!

We were very pleased with the service and friendly attitude of our captain, Mr. Murat, and our deckhand, Mehmet. The meals served three times a day were quite delicious and varied. The cabins were comfortable and clean, and the bays we visited were all stunning. Thank you very much for everything; we had a delightful holiday.

It was absolutely a wonderful boat tour! 🌊☀️ Our Captain Ercan and Elif were incredibly friendly, helpful, and warm. The boat was spotless, the coves were magnificent, and the service was truly excellent. As a family with a baby, we had an unforgettable day that we enjoyed from start to finish. Thank you so much for your hard work and wonderful hospitality. We will definitely be back! ⚓️❤️

My husband and I were visiting from Canada and wanted a full-day relaxing boat day around Bodrum. It was such a special experience thanks to Hasan and his father! His instructions to the parking and through the marina were super helpful and specific, making getting there very easy. The boat was spacious with lots of couches/beds to lounge on! Boat was steady and easy to move around and there was always a shaded spot somewhere for us who didn’t want direct sunlight. We visited three calm bays along the coast and had the opportunity to swim at each one! Hasan and his father thoughtfully cooked us a full lunch that was absolutely delicious and felt authentically Turkish! It was a beautiful day!

We went on a wonderful day-trip boat tour with the family on Aslı and Mert’s boat. Everything was delightful, and the conversation was fantastic. 😊 Since the weather was a bit overcast, we spent more time on the boat than in the water, but the atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming that it truly felt like our own boat. We had a lovely day and I highly recommend it. ❤️

It was a great experience; the crew was attentive, and the boat was clean. There was just one issue: although it appeared to have three cabins, one of them was not in use—it was being used for storage, and its air conditioning was broken. The boat owner informed us of this only after the reservation had been made. The crew's toilet and cabin were also out of use. While this didn't significantly affect us or cause any inconvenience, we felt it shouldn't have been the case. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time.
