    What Our Guests Say

    Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from our delighted guests who’ve experienced the magic of a gulet voyage.

    N.K., 7th July 2017 We absolutely loved it! The captain, Huyat, is a true gentleman—a great captain and wonderful to sail with. The team—Ismail, Ohran, and Berke—were so great, patient, thoughtful, and fun. The chef was AMAZING! We've even told him he has jobs waiting for him in Australia if he ever leaves Turkey (though why would he? It's incredible!). Without a doubt, we would recommend this experience!

    A & P Fuchs, London UK We are so sad to be leaving after the most wonderful trip around the Greek Islands.
    The Ryans, Bend OR, USA What an amazing 8 day trip!! The crew was top notch and so happy + fun. The best food from such a great view and such a small kitchen! We have loved the boat with 3 great rooms, hot water and so amazing that Dima set up the guitar. Nothing better than live music on the back deck. What can I say but… we are such lucky people for this group trip with great people… the best of friends. We will be back! Thank you for the amazing vacation on the Prime Donna!
    The McEwans, Poulsbo, WA, USA We so enjoyed our week cruising on Primadonna! The scenery, antiquities, the crew was so attentive and the food was top notch every single meal. Thank you for keeping us safe, well fed, and so happy!
    E. Deluca Australia August 2025 - Gulet Primadonna I want to thank you for all the gifts you left for us. So thoughtful of you! At the Su Hotel, we saw a silk scarf like the pretty ones you gave us, framed and hanging over the head of the bed. It looked so beautiful that I’m considering stealing the idea and doing that with mine. Thanks for everything you did to make our trip memorable.
