We spent a week in Kalkan this summer. Our first time - loved it!

The highlight of our trip was our chartered sunset sail on the Yildiz. I couldn't imagine a more perfect evening for our family. The boat is beautifull and exceptionally clean. The captain and his family are gracious, professional and welcoming. The food was exceptional - probably the best meal we had while in Kalkan. It's a great evening that I highly recommend.

Agreed. We did the daytime trip and it was superb. We have done many boat trips over the years we have been going to Kalkan but this was the best by far.

We are booked in for Saturday I can't wait. How do we find them though? I have no directions!

Just pop down to the harbour, all the boats will be there and will be easy to find

I know it sounds strange but the boats can be found in the water at the harbour!

Sorry, only joking, just my sense of humour!
If you go down to the Pirat Hotel / Marina Restaurant area you can then walk along the harbour and see all the boats in a row. Just look out for the name or ask anyone.

They are situated behind Aurbergine restaurant (look carefully for the steps down as they are easy to miss)

Thank you! We went down last night but it was dark and the boats I could see weren't the right ones. I know exactly where aubergine is though so thats really helpful - thank you!

Hi kalkankt they were probably out on a Moonlight cruise. There were a lot of boats out last night. We are going on yildez in a couple of weeks time. Can't wait.

We arrive in Kalkan tomorrow night and have already booked a daytime trip on Yildiz 2 for 16 August. It was so easy to do online, I emailed and they replied with all of the info I needed straight away. Can't wait and think we'll probably end up doing the evening trip too

We have been on Yildiz boats for the last five years and they are fantastic. We visited in June this year and twelve of us had an absolutely amazing trip. My sister and her family have been on boats trips all over the world and thought this was the best.
We are off to Egypt next week for a change but I can't help thinking that I will be comparing everything to Kalkan and that Egypt will come off worse.
Oh well, back to Kalkan next summer me thinks!

Spent yesterday with Capt Abdi on his Pina X boat. Have to say he is right up there with Yildiz. Lovely spotless boat and great food .This was our 4th boat trip over the past 3 years and always a fantastic day at sea.

Have to agree, Pina X is a fabulous day out. We have done it 3 times and the day is always perfect with an amazing lunch. Cptn. Abdi is a lovely man and makes you very welcome.

Anyone who has their heart set on a trip on the Yildiz boats, I would recommend booking by email before you travel. We wandered down to the boats last night to enquiry about booking for the end of this week and their next available spaces for daytime trips is 30th August! Damn my other half for wanting to be spontaneous... $:-\$

Bob & Jayne · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2012, 06:43:26 AM »

Thats such a shame. We did email and book ours but only after much persuasion to my OH. He too wanted to be spontaneous but l insisted gently. We are on yildez moonlight cruise tonight and their day cruise on saturday. Sorry you havent been able to book and hope you have managed to book something else though. Looking forward to meeting you at the pirat.

The availability calendar on the Yildiz web site does not show the boats as being booked up so it is deceptive. I tried to arrange a booking via the specific link on the site but just got an error message about the server rejecting the connection and lost everything I had written. I will email them direct instead.

Does anyone have a contact email so I can book the Yildiz 2 prior to our travel date?

Thanks

Thanks Firecat!

Funnily enough I was just looking at the brochure we picked up in May, the email address on the brochure is osmanyildizboat@hotmail.com , the website is www.yildizboat.com .

Firecat · « **Reply #19 on:** September 03, 2012, 07:51:40 PM »

I'm just quoting the email addy he used with me last week. Probably both are functional.
