A crew of 4 looks after you: the captain, a cook and deckhands.

APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is a prepayment system generally applied for luxury yachts and motor yachts. This payment is used to cover expenses during the tour and typically accounts for 30% of the total rental fee. Expenses such as diesel, petrol, port fees, taxes, customs fees, meals, and beverages are managed by the captain. At the end of the tour, any unused balance is refunded, or additional payment may be required if expenses exceed the allowance.

I had an absolutely amazing time on the boat not a single complaint. The crew was awesome and so accommodating, they really took their time to put there all into everything they did! The food was delicious and i had a marvelous time!!!
Our family just returned from the most incredible trip to Turkey, and it truly exceeded every expectation. The highlight of our vacation was our unforgettable week aboard Baba Can, which was simply perfect from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to Hülya and the entire team at DE Yachting for organizing such a seamless experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, communication was excellent, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process.
Most importantly, our captain and crew aboard Baba Can were absolutely outstanding. They made us feel at home from the moment we stepped on board. Their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made the trip so special. They went above and beyond every day, whether it was finding beautiful secluded bays, preparing incredible meals, or making sure our family had everything we needed. By the end of the week, they felt like family.
Turkey itself is one of the most beautiful countries we’ve ever visited, with crystal-clear water, charming coastal towns, delicious food, and incredibly warm people. Thanks to DE Yachting and the amazing crew of Baba Can, this became one of the best vacations our family has ever taken.
We cannot recommend DE Yachting and Baba Can highly enough. Thank you, Hülya, our captain, and the entire crew for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We will absolutely be back!
