Ercan meets with you to learn of your specific needs and to suggest practical solutions. He briefs all trades people, and he inspects all work performed on your boat. He is a stickler for quality, and he approves all work before your final inspection.

Ercan has spent his life on the water. At the age of 13 he joined the Turkish Navy, and the next 20 years he spent as an officer serving on a number of naval ships around the world. He concluded his naval career as a Commander in the Turkish Coast Guard.

He had hands on experience working with all aspects of boat maintenance. He was the Captain on a variety of large yachts, sailing throughout the Mediterranean. For 20 years he worked in European boat yards involved in project management, design and construction, and sea trials of super yachts. In 2000, he returned to Turkey and established Yacht Solutions Turkey to serve boat owners throughout the world.
