Neyzen Travel & Yachting - Turkey by design

There is plenty to do on board. In fact, by the time you are due to disembark we are pretty sure that you won’t want to leave!

You will probably find that even doing nothing but relaxing on the water, swimming and enjoying your chef’s mouthwatering cuisine will have you losing your sense of time and wishing you’d booked for longer!
