Daphne Sail Arvostelua 

We had a very good holiday on the Dufour 42.5. She sailed very well and was good equipped. Is was top!

Daphne Sail is a small charter company with friendly staff that is always ready to help. The yachts aren't new, but in very good condition for their age. Smooth in handling and without issues. I especially liked the electrical system, with which you don't have to worry about connecting to shore power at all. It is possible to arrange to return the yaht on Saturday morning.

I was the skipper on this trip. We traveled on yacht Daphne-S. First of all, I would like to highlight the friendly attitude of Selim and his colleagues. Selim was always available and quick to answer questions. The yacht was in good condition; we didn't encounter any technical issues during the voyage. The yacht has several key advantages. First, it reaches speeds of up to 8 knots at 2,000 RPM. Second, there is minimal prop effect when reversing (left-hand rotation propeller). Third, the yacht is completely electrically autonomous—you don't need shore power at all! It was great that the cabins were equipped with fans, though I would suggest installing a fan in the galley as well. I would also ask that the toilet door locks be fixed and the cabinet and drawer latches adjusted. The two water tanks lasted our crew of five people for three days, which is quite good. The engine is fuel-efficient, consuming 3.5 liters per hour; we used 84 liters of fuel over the course of the week. Overall, we were very pleased and would like to charter with this company again.

It was an amazing trip!

This was my second time sailing as captain on the Daphne S. I returned to this boat thanks to Selim. The charter conditions and the friendliness of Selim and Hakan exceeded all expectations.
Selim was always in touch and ready to answer any questions about the boat, which was certainly a pleasure.

My second trip on this boat pleasantly surprised me with the upgrades. Most importantly, the guys installed a solar panel on the boat. An electric kettle is now available on the yacht! Can you believe it!?
The mainsail and jib were also updated. As a true yachtsman, I couldn't help but appreciate this. A new dinghy was also on board. The SUP and motor for the dinghy were a compliment from the company, as a returning customer.
Two tanks of clean water were enough for five adults for five days.

The boat has an old chartplotter, but I didn't use it because I have all the necessary charts on my phone and I'm familiar with the waters around Göcek. When I returned the boat, I mentioned this to Selim. Five minutes later, a technician was already tinkering with the chartplotter settings.

The anchor chain has also been updated, and the marks are clearly visible. I used the full 60 meters. An inexperienced sailor operated the winch, and he handled it perfectly.

My friends and I had a fantastic vacation and were absolutely delighted. The boat is in perfect working order, so we didn't have to worry about any minor issues.

A big thank you to Daphne Sail and Selim personally for their friendliness and service.
I wish you prosperity and may everything be, as they say in Turkey, "It's ok, no problem!"

Sincerely,
Captain Ivan Pokrovsky

Our experience was absolutely great!
We had an amazing week, the boat was in a good condition, there was enough space for having rest, making food.
Thank you for making our holidays so cool!

We had an amazing time with Daphnesail. The boat was in perfect condition and well equipped. Selim ,the base manager, was really helpful with everything . I would definitely charter again with them. Thank you so much.

Excellent charter company. Boat was great and exactly as described. Very helpful team who were super flexible with checkin and checkout. Would definitely recommend!

We had an amazing week aboard a boat chartered from this company. The yacht was in excellent technical condition and fully prepared for departure. All systems had been checked and everything worked perfectly.

She handles beautifully, is very responsive, and sails exceptionally well. I highly recommend this Dufour model to anyone looking for a great balance of performance and comfort.

We truly enjoyed every moment on board and hope to host our future events on this yacht as well. Her name is ESEN MİLA, and she is an outstanding boat that I can confidently recommend to anyone looking for the best value for money.

We had a wonderful holiday with Daphne Sailing. First of all, we would like to thank the Base Manager:
Mr. Selim Akdoğan. He took care of us personally from the beginning to the end of our trip. He informed and guided us completely and thoroughly on every matter. Everything went as planned. We were able to reach him whenever we needed anything. As a small family of three, the Daphne S boat met all our needs. The uninterrupted electricity supply was fantastic. The freshwater tanks were sufficient. We didn't experience any problems with the engine. I will definitely choose Daphne Sailing for our next holiday. Thank you very much, Mr. Selim Akdoğan.

I’ve been working with Daphnia Sailing Charter for several years now. They’ve always been very friendly. Their support is prompt and available at any time. I’m happy to continue working with them, as their boats are always in good condition. I wish the charter company continued success and look forward to sailing with their fleet again soon.

We had a great week on Daphne S. The boat was clean, comfortable and very well maintained. Everything worked as it should, which made our trip easy and enjoyable.

We especially appreciated the electrical system on board. Having reliable power throughout the week was a big plus. The refrigerator also worked very well and kept our food and drinks nicely cold, even on hot days.

The boat is well equipped and we always found what we needed on board. It is clear that the owners take good care of her.

Many thanks to Selim for his help and support before and during our charter. He was always friendly and ready to assist when needed.

We would happily recommend Daphne S to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable sailing holiday.

Daphne-S is very nice boat. Everything is in good order, everything works really well. It was impressive to have 220 volts all the time with no generator (I did not expect that). Highly recommended for future sailors. thank you Daphne-Sail team for good service!

Hello Selim,
First of all, thank you very much for the excellent support. Although the Esen Mila is an older ship, her standing and running rigging are in excellent condition, and she sails very well. The anchor gear with 80 metres of chain is also in excellent condition. The onboard power supply and appropriate batteries are particularly noteworthy – it has never been necessary to obtain external power. However, the various ageing details, such as the compass, echo sounder, log, stove and furniture fittings, require special attention. We would be happy to charter again.

Maybe next year I will rent again this boat for 3 weeks.

Very fast and helpfull respond during all stages of rental and voyage.

We had a truly wonderful 3-night, 4-day holiday aboard the EsenMila under the Daphne Sail organization. From the moment we arrived, the team welcomed us warmly and made sure everything ran smoothly. Any small issues that came up were handled quickly and professionally with practical solutions. The technical crew was highly skilled, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The boat itself was in excellent condition very well maintained and felt almost brand new. This was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we highly recommend Daphne Sail to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable sailing vacation. You can book with complete peace of mind

Feeling the support of the company behind us was greate.
Whenever we had a problem, they quickly recovered.
Solar panels were good, no need for port electricity.
Thanks to Captain Selim especially, and owner Kenan Bey, and Sibel Tas for their hospitality and promot responses.

We had a great 2 week sail on a dufour 425. Boat was in good condition and check in/out was very smooth. Team was available at all times if we had questions. Happy overall.

Really great sailing week! Daphne S is Dufour 405 in a very good condition after refit. Both sails are new, all the ropes are soft and clean, also the boat itself is very easy to maneuver. Everything inside was working well plus there are several things for the additional comfort, such as microwave and fridge pump, and for nice evenings, like underwater blue light.

The boat was ready and clean pretty early on Saturday, so we managed to sail already in the evening. And also bat's "parking lot" in ECE marina is located very well. Selim, the manager, was very helpful and ready to advice, if needed.

I can definetely advice this company and the boat, this is one of the best experiences actually.
