"You will have an English-speaking guide; the crew will most probably speak some English as well; there are six cabins and that includes one for the captain, so the most you will have is 12 plus the crew. The cabins are complete with your own toilet and shower. The only time I remember "diesel smell" was when we were tied up in port and some adjacent boat was running their motor or generator and the cabin windows were open. However, it never seemed to bother us and the only time we were in our cabin was when we were sleeping.

Boat layout: main deck with places for lounging and outdoor eating area; upper deck where captain steers the gulet with places for sitting, etc. as well; lower deck with "living" area including sofa/chairs and tables/chairs for indoor dining; cabins are accessed off of either end of this "salon".

One of the things we loved about this trip was the opportunities we had for swimming and snorkeling. Every time we stopped and we anchored, anyone who wanted to could get in the water.

The itinerary Sidar has on his website is very similar to what we did. None of us had ever heard of Arki before, and it ended up being one of our very favorite stops. We just loved every place we went, and it was truly a magical adventure. Reviewing the itinerary brought back so many pleasant memories. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
