What Our Guests Say About Us?

Hear from those who have experienced the Pruva Yachts difference

"We have been using Pruva Yachts for our gulet trips in Turkey and Greece for many years now-more than 10. We have consistently had good boats, good advice and good service. Every year, they have managed to provide boats according to our needs. Their captains and crew are reliable and experienced in the seas of the region. We have had good cooks and always good food. The crew are enthusiastic to make the passengers comfortable and happy. Nihal and Cihan of Pruva Yachts are always within reach for any requests we might have during the trip. We are very comfortable traveling with them. On our most recent trip in 2025, the captain took pains to moor in isolated bays with crystal clear waters. We also had a superb cook and refined food. All in all a good experience again. Thanks Nihal and Cihan. A. & J. McCarthy"

"Hi Nihal, from chilly Australia… we greatly enjoyed our gulet holiday on Queen of Sea arranged by you - excellent crew, and food / great chef! Very spoilt over the week and Captain very flexible with his mooring decisions - beautiful and private spots in each case. Highly recommended 👍 Beth & John 2025"

"Dear Cihan bey and Nihal hanım! After every blue voyage which is organized by Pruva I tell myself, it cannot get better than this. But each time you prove me wrong. 😊 I'm talking about the most wonderful week we had on a lovely boat that you arranged for us. Everything was perfect. The captain took us to lovely bays which had lovely sea and calm. The food was delicious and the service was as good as it could get. Thank you very much for all your effort. Looking forward for the next trip. Sincerely, M. Tarzi, 2025"

"We all had the best holiday ever (since our one last year!) with you all on the Rose Marie. We were looked after so well and the Captain was always smiling even though sometimes he was tested to the full by the 5 rowdy children on board! He always took us to the best possible bays and arranged a perfect itinerary for our week. The chef produced delicious food all week finishing up with an enormous fish cooked in salt which was absolutely delicious. I don't know how he was able to cook such wonderful things all week in such a small kitchen! On the last day they put the sails up because we wanted the experience of sailing even though there wasn't really enough wind. A lot of captains would have refused to do that as it's a lot of extra work but he always wanted to please us - He really is a fantastic captain and never lost his temper with the noisy children and was always very safety conscious. I feel envious already of all the people who are booked to come on the Rose Marie after us, I really hope we will be able to return again very soon. Thank you all so much from us all."

"Excellent voyage! The captain and crew excellent in their hospitality. Could not have been better, res and relax! Thank you all!"

"Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! A well needed break from the stresses of daily life. Thank you to all the crew, incredible people who have really made our stay."

"What a wonderful week! The crew have really made our trip. Very personalised and made us feel so welcome with lots of special touches. A much needed time wavy from the real world in our little buble and lots of special memories made to cherish. A big thank you to Hassan for his wonderful care."

"Our first family holiday all together in several years (grown up kids!). It has been wonderful, we have enjoyed it so much! Spectacular scenery, the food has been amazing, thank you Chef! You have all looked after us so well that we would love to come back again! Hassan's kind attention, always with a smile made us feel very welcome and relaxed. We will miss this special treatment next week when we go back to work! Thank you Captain Ch. for keeping us safe in your capable hands"

"Having the ability to make other peoples holidays unforgetable is a rare skill. The crew of Lady Christa made our holidays unforgettable and we are so very grateful. We enjoyed every moment! Thank you for everything, Lady Christa! wishing you all the best!"

"We are back to Lady Christa after seven years. We enjoyed every minute of it, but this time it was even better! We can't wait to come back. This fantastic crew made us feel at home. We had a lot of fun doing all activities: water skiing, fishing, diving, snorkeling, SUP, surfing, reading, laughing and above all EATING and drinking! Perfect! The crew became part of our family, always with a smile on their face, and they will forever be in our hearts."

"We came to Lady Crysta to make beautiful memories, spend time with our children and experience Turkey's beautiful nature and history! We got so much more than we even dreamed of! Captain and crew made our experience unforgettable with a warm atmosphere, delicious food, showing us incredible locations and taking such good care with us. Sailing on all sails with another gulet alongside us was an experience we will never forget, even if it did start with a surprise cat hiding in the sail bag! Thank you Lady Christa"

"Dear Crew of the Lady Christa - I've had a dream to sail on a Turkish Gulet since the 1970's. Thank you for making my dream to be more fabulous than I imagined. It was wonderful and perfect. I wish each of the crew a life that is filled with JOY and for the Lady Christa to sail many years bringing all who experience her. With much appreciation -"

"We came on Lady Chiska for a week as friends, and came off as a family. What a bliss to journey together with an open horizon. Thank you to the crew who made everyday a little more special than the previous one and a very special thanks for attending with such care and smiles, and to the guys for all their patience and energy with our children. With love"

"What a crew and what a boat! We had the best time possible. Will be back as soon as next year! Thanks."

"Thank you very much for the wonderful week on Lady Christa! We enjoyed the cruise very much, everything was perfect, looking forward to coming again!"

"So many good memories and stories to tell! What a beauty—maybe one day we’ll come back!"

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER ❤️❤️! It was so much fun spending time here and it is a memory that will stick. We had a great time doing water sports and hanging out. The crew is so kind and energetic and the food is AWESOME ❤️ It's such a shame to see our trip ending but surely our time together won’t. This was an unforgettable week."
