Expert view on Blue Cruise concept – Interview with Onur Tumer
When Onur Tumer speaks, you should listen! Why? Because he is in the Blue Cruise business for his entire life. Because his father was the most influential gulet cruise owner & agent who managed 90% of gulet ships in Marmaris back in the days. And because he knows what he is talking about.
In this blog post, we would like to present you with Mr Onur and his travel agency Tum Tur yachting. We made this nice interview with Onur on luxury gulet Charlie & Tango in Marmaris.
From this video you will learn:
- What is a Blue Cruise;
- How a gulet cruise looks like;
- How a normal day on board of a gulet feels like;
- What are the 3 most important things when renting a gulet?
And some more useful things.
We are working with Onur for quite some time now and he is always very happy to take special care of our clients.
I would also like to use this opportunity and present agency Tum Tur as well as our cooperation with them.
Mr Onur Tumer on our cooperation:
Tum Tour Yachting was founded in 1980 and it is the oldest yacht charter agency in Turkey. We offer luxury charter yacht in the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea among 300 yachts including Gulets, Motor Yachts, and Crewed Sailing yachts.
We built so many good and successful partnerships from all over the world in 30 years. Goolets Yacht Charter Company from Slovenia is one of our most important partners.
We have been working with Goolets for 4 years and we always get the advantage of working with the professional Goolets team and their dedicated work in the luxury yacht charter business.
We had the chance to collaborate with Goolets for many luxury yachts such as Gulet Excellence, Gulet Miriam Sophie, Gulet Vesta 1 Sevil, Gulet Remzi Yilmaz and Gulet Crazy Blue.
With their prompt assistance and easy-going work, we received always positive feedbacks from the yacht charter groups. All the guests left with good memories and we together with Goolets received positive customer satisfaction forms.
Many of the yacht charter groups came in the following years and experience different blue cruise routes in Turkey, Greece, and Croatia. Having many return customers is proof of our successful teamwork.
Luxury Yacht Charter in Turkey, Greece, and Croatia can sometimes be a challenge for yacht charter agencies since many special requirements from our guests need to be fulfilled. Therefore, having a partner like Goolets always simplify our work and contribute to our success as well.
We launched our yacht Gulet Excellence in Croatia and we were supported by Goolets in the Croatian market as well. It seems from the reservations that we will corporate with Goolets Yacht Charter Company a lot in the 2014 season as well.
Tum Tour Yachting and Goolets are both family business and it also may be a reason for long term success. Building an honest and sincere partnership is not easy in the yacht charter sector as in every other business.
Lessons learned in 30 years in yacht charter, yacht brokerage and shipyard sectors showed us that, we were right about investing in trust of our guests and business partners than investing in short term profit.
Having always good, sincere and honest relationship with Goolets Yacht Charter Company for 4 years made us feel that we are walking on the same path.
We are looking for further collaboration and successful business together with Goolets in the next years as well.
Great job explaining everything about how we work together.
