They forgot to include the Blue card in the documents. I remembered and asked for it, and they brought it. The yacht is new, from 2019, so everything is fine in that regard. There was no fixed radio, but for Turkey, a radio is not very relevant, especially for our route, we managed with a portable one. The gas cylinder was almost empty, it ran out on the fifth day of not very active cooking, but there was a spare one. Since I had only seen it changed once, there was a slightly anxious moment with the replacement. There was a misunderstanding about refueling. When I asked where to refuel, they mentioned Marmaris marina. The closest to the base is Marmaris Yacht Marina, which has a refueling station on the map. Naturally, I assumed that was the one. After spending the night at Marmaris Netsel Marina, we headed to refuel. The manager (Mr. Baruc) called. It turned out that there is no refueling station there and we needed to refuel in the city. When we were leaving, there were already about 7 yachts waiting to enter. I explained to him that this was not an option, the manager understood, and we decided to refuel from canisters, which did not affect the price. So overall, everything was good, the manager was always in touch, and all misunderstandings were resolved to mutual satisfaction. The base is good, Cook's Club (Adakoy). Quiet, beach, decent restaurant. The only downside is that there is no proper market. There is one in Marmaris Yacht Marina, and a shuttle bus goes there. The only misunderstanding was related to the market. From what the manager said, I understood that after purchasing, the market delivers groceries to the yacht for free. It ended up with us calling a taxi from the market, and accordingly, we had to pay. But maybe I misunderstood, or maybe I didn't explain well enough. I wasn't surprised about the taxi at first; I thought maybe they provide a service to the store under the contract.

New boat, nice marina. It's a shame that it's difficult to get to the Greek islands, but it allowed us to discover the beautiful Turkish coast.
