Merhaba Yeloya,

I am thinking of exporting my sailboat to Turkey from the US of A. It's a 25' folkboat and it will fit in a 40' shipping container. Do you know anyone I can contact regarding arranging unloading of the boat after it arrives in Turkey? The boat would need to be lifted from the container using either a forklift or travel lift once it arrives at a marina. I am thinking of sending it to Istanbul, but any Turkish port would work for me.
A little bit of background: I've lived in Turkey before and speak Turkish, but have no contacts in the boating or shipping industries.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Yeloa, I bought a brend new Beneteau Oceanis 48 in 2017 and it is currently in Cleopatra marina in Preveza. I have minimum of teak on it in cockpit seats and on stern seat. I would like to lay teak wood over the entire deck and cockpit at the end of next season.I would appreciate any tips or offers. Thanks

Hi Yeloya , I have look that you offer teak replacement in your shipyard .
I am interested to know you , I have buy in Italy a sailing boat SWAN 46 and the deck is completely finish , need all deck replacement , is a big work but if you are interested to make this we can look to transfer the boat in turkey
I wait your answer

Good afternoon Yeloya
I have been following your comments and wanted to reach out with a request. I am in the market for a Catana 581/2. You have mentioned on numerous occasions that you had found a few. Any chance you still know if any.

Hi Yeloya,
just read your post from 2016 regarding a possible contact to a british surveyor living in Bodrum.
As I might need a capable and unbiased surveyor in Turkey in some time, could you send me the contact you have?
Thans a lot, best regards,
Ernest

I saw that you offer teak deck replacement and also potentially a berth over the winter. We are considering the purchase of a Privilege 585 in the next 2 months and would like to install a new deck. Could you give me a non-binding ballpark on the deck replacement cost so I can put this in my cost calculation, and tell me if the winter berth option is still available? Many thanks


Many thanks

Hi Yeloya..I found this from years ago, but maybe you are still in the loop...I hope so! You seem to the go-to person for Turkey related issues,,,,thanks in advance if you can help.

we are considering buy a boat IN Turkey Bodrum). I'm assuming that it is a Turkish flagged boat. What issues or taxes can we expect? Other "gotchas" you can share with us. We are a completely blank slate when it comes to the Med and especially Turkey so any and ALL help and/or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks....allen

Yeloya, greetings from NC. Could you help me locating the manufacturer of screens for hatches in Turkey? I lost the contact information. I need to replace missing screens for my FP Belize. Thank you, Mustafa

I am new to posting so please excuse any impropriety. We are transitioning from a monohull to a cat. Thus far I like the orana or Helios. There is an orana for sale that has two 30 hp engines and I'd like your opinion on this installation. Application will be coastal sailing from Maine to Caribbean then onto the pacific and up to home in Seattle. We plan to be live aboard some during the next three years. Boating experience is limited to 45 years of racing and coastal sailing and powerboating. We have sailed to Alaska and cruised northern bc extensively and I think about some of our tides and 60 hp. On the other hand our first 44.7 weighs about the same and has a 50 hp engine.

Thanks Yeloya, Our friends decided to rent a 560 Lagoon in Croatia, but thanks for sharing the information. Perhaps we'll be able to recommend your Helia to someone else.
