I had an amazing experience with Nizar. He was very helpful and accommodating with all my requests and queries.
Luke was responsive, solution-oriented, professional and very helpful. He got us an amazing deal after a very, very thorough search process. We were not an easy client. He was extremely patient.

We are a group that always makes the best of any situation, but our voyage in Croatia had many issues. I understand some things happen but when it’s a multitude of things and nothing is done about it. It he becomes unacceptable.
I wanted to go on a sailing trip for my 40th birthday, but we were booked with a captain who had very little experience. He wasn’t even comfortable with sailing the boat so we had to moter all around the Croatian islands. It defeated the purpose of us even going on a sailing trip. Very disappointing. On top of that, the anchor motor burnt out which was possibly due to the inexperienced captain and we were stuck at Port for half a day trying to get it fixed. Our dinghy motor also went out and we did not have access to it for half of the trip. Having to pay extra for water, taxi fees, and dockage fees when we weren’t planning on.

I had a great experience, Eray looked after me well, found a great boat within my budget
I planned a sailing trip with my family for our summer holiday in Croatia. Mr. Eray Özkan was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He took the time to understand our needs and then guided us to the perfect boat. No matter how many questions I asked, or how many times I asked them, he responded with patience, professionalism, and care. I wholeheartedly recommend Borrow A Boat and Mr. Eray Özkan. I’m truly grateful for his support.
We typically charter bareboats directly from the company. My husband was apprehensive about using a third party, but Luke was fantastic—everything went exactly as he promised. We booked this just a couple of weeks before our trip, and he was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions and providing the best price available.
Eray was fantastic while assisting mewith booking the boat I want. Great guy. Thank you.
I’ve been dealing with a delightful chap called luke Quinn, who has been exceptionally helpful finding us a vessel that suits the family’s needs.
Really looking forward to the trip now it’s all booked
Many thanks

I booked a yacht for September, and Eray was super helpful throughout the whole process—helping me pick the right one and making sure all the listed specs were accurate.
Thanks so much, Eray!
I had a great experience booking a trip with the help of Nicolo who was very helpfull and kind.
Was very helpful, courteous and communicative. Only reason not 5 star was the type of boat I was after was not available
They have scammed their investors by transferring assets including brand name and Intellectual Property into another vessel and let the original company go belly up. Even the Managing Director is still the same person. I am out of my hard earned cash of several hundred pounds an they still have the audacity to even spam my email account under their new name, with a newsletter I did not sign up for. In my opinion these activities are punible by law. I would advise anyone against interacting with the company or their management based on this experience.

I did a trust pilot review and rated very highly, thank you to all who helped but in particular Luke
Great help from Rebecca arranging a boat in Sicily
Booking our gulet trip with Eray was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and helping us find the perfect vessel for our needs. The process felt smooth and transparent, with clear communication and no surprises. Eray went above and beyond to make sure everything was tailored to our preferences. Highly recommend working with him if you’re planning a gulet charter — it truly made all the difference!
Eray has helped in all our requests. Really profesional, I will repeat without any doubt.
Just had great booking support experience on a Sunday to book our holiday from your colleague Luke Quinn. Big thanks to Luke, effortless help through the process and discount thrown in. Thank you Luke and appreciate the late Sunday afternoon/evening help. Regards Lamech
